Team News

Inter Milan

Antonio Conte will be more than happy to welcome the visitors as he will have full squad available at his disposal. One can expect him to line-up the squad in his classic 3-5-2 formation for this game. The Nerazzurri have been phenomenal this season as they are the best attacking side, and also boast the second-best defensive record. A player to keep an eye on will be Romelu Lukaku.

Lazio

The visitors will have almost full-squad with them for the trip to Milan. Inzaghi will be missing only Jean-Daniel Akpro and Luiz Felipe for the game. While the side sits at 6th in the points tally, they have scored the least goals among top-7 teams this season. The vital factor in their games, contrary to the belief of many, has been their defence. The side, on paper, are not stronger either in attack or defense, and therefore, will want fortune in their favour. Player to watch for them will be Ciro Immobile.

Analysis

The game promises to be an exciting one as two different kind of teams will clash against one another. One can expect Antonio Conte’s man to go on attack right from the beginning with the help of their wingbacks, who are yet to disappoint this season. Lazio will patiently wait for the right opportunity to open up before getting on attack. So, one can expect Inter to take the charge of the game, while Lazio will hold back.

For Fantasy team, it is recommended to have wingbacks from Inter, central midfielder from Inter, attacking midfielders from Lazio, and combo in forward line.
