Inter vs. Lazio picks and predictions
Prediction
Inter 1, Lazio 1
Moneyline (ML)
SPRINKLE DRAW (+250).
While Inter hasn’t drawn at home, Lazio has played high-level soccer as late, and that should result in a close battle.
Lazio has won 4 of its last 5 road matches and has had a clean sheet in all 5 games. Inter has lost 3 straight home games as well, having lost each of those 1-0 yet having more expected goals in all 3 as well.
Combine those two, and both the DRAW(+260) and the double chance TIE OR LAZIO (+100) have value here.
Over/Under (O/U)
BET UNDER 2.5 (-135).
Inter has gone Under in 4 of its last 5 games. It has failed to score in 3 of its last 5 games and has averaged .83 goals per game over its last 6. While it has had over 2 expected goals in 3 of its last 4, converting hasn’t been a strength for Inter.
On the other hand, Lazio’s defense is among the best in Serie A, and it has had a clean sheet in 7 of its last 9 games. It has gone Under in 10 of its last 12. At this value, take the UNDER 2.5 (-135).
