Serie A: Serie A leaders Inter Milan to leave Lazio in the cold

Having taken seven points from nine across their past three trips to the San Siro, Lazio are a little long at 7/2 to triumph away from home comforts but more appealing at 5/2 for a splitting of spoils.

Though, it can’t help that Inter are being consistently linked with their best and brightest, notably attacking midfielder Antonio Candreva (7/2 to score anytime) plus midfield conductor and Lazio captain Lucas Biglia (5/1). Both players ooze class, but Biglia’s organisation and awareness would be most missed, though his agent did not move to quash rumours of a move north.

“A renewal at Lazio is not a certainty. There are lots of clubs, in Serie A and around Europe, looking at the player,” Enzo Montepaone told press of the skipper.

“He is happy in the colours of Lazio, but we cannot deny his reputation is growing around the world. We need to think about what is best for his career. There are a lot of teams interested and Inter are just one of them. “

Mancini’s marksmen

Inter are hardly known for their expansive play at the moment, but have clocked-up seven goals across their past two fixtures. Argentine poaching pair Mauro Icardi (9/2 to open the scoring)and Rodrigo Palacio (11/2 to net last) have both been on the scoresheet recently and have drawn blood in this fixture previously to boot.

Ivan Perisic (11/5 in the anytime market) and Adem Ljajic (23/10) make for potent attacking midfield support while, for the guests, Felipe Anderson (7/2) bagged a brace versus the black and blue half of Milan last term, and Alessandro Matri​ (14/5) has hit two in his past two.
