Bet of the day: Antonio Candreva to be first home scorer in Inter v Lazio

But now the 29-year-old is beginning to look like the regular game-changer he was for Lazio, for whom he struck 20 Serie A goals in his last two terms at the Stadio Olimpico club.

Crafty Candreva now has four goals and as many assists in the black and blue stripes of Inter across all competitions, including last time out, when he opened scoring with the winner against Sassuolo.

For three of his four Nerrazurri strikes so far, the Azzurri instigator has in fact opened proceedings for his side, with two of those arriving at home. Or three, if you count being an away player at shared ground the San Siro.

While, Candreva also appears to have a taste for this fixture, having found the net four times in the past three frays between Inter and the Eagles, though he was then on the sky blue side of the battle.

In those clashes, which will have undoubtedly helped to catch the eye of Inter Milan directors, Candreva opened scoring twice, showing a tendency to set the tone.

So, with Mauro Icardi going without a goal in his last three, and Candreva in-form, those 10/3 odds for the Italian look fine value.
