Overview
Since the beginning of February 2025, Inter Milan have had a poor record in Serie A, having lost 2 out of 5 matches. Those were defeats with a score of 0-3 against Fiorentina and 0-1 against Juventus. In addition, there was a draw against AC Milan.
However, Inter are still holding the top spot in Serie A. Their other opponents in the race for the Scudetto have also had poor form recently.
Inter has saved a lot of energy by not having to play in the Champions League play-off series. This helps them to focus all their efforts on the Coppa Italia quarter-final against Lazio, as well as create a mental advantage before the away match against Napoli in round 27 of Serie A.
On the other side of the front line, Lazio have also surprisingly stagnated in their last 2 matches. They have only earned 2 points in 2 matches against Napoli and Venezia. With Juventus approaching 4th place and still in the Europa League, Lazio will face great pressure in the upcoming matches.
Lazio's instability is also evident away from home, having won just two, drawn one and lost two of their last five games.
Coming to Inter's home ground in the Coppa Italia is not an easy task, especially since Lazio have not known the taste of victory at Giuseppe Meazza since 2017.
In the last meeting between the two teams, Inter easily won with a score of 6-0. With home advantage and better personnel, Inter are likely to win to reach the semi-finals.
Personnel situation
Inter Milan will not have the services of Marcus Thuram, Carlos Augusto, Raffaele Di Gennaro, Yann Sommer and Valentin Carboni due to injury.
On the other side of the front line, Lazio coach Marco Baroni could not use Elseid Hysaj, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, Matias Vecino and Taty Castellanos for the same reason.
Expected lineup:
Inter Milan: Martinez, Bastoni, Bisseck, Darmian, Carlos Augusto, Zielinski, Asllani, Frattesi, Buchanan, Martinez, taremi.
Lazio: Mandas, Hysaj, Patric, Gigot, Lazzari, Noslin, Rovella, Dele-Bashiru, Tchaouna, Zaccagni, Pedro.
The match between Inter Milan and Lazio takes place at 3:00 am on February 26 (Vietnam time).
