Following Napoli’s unexpected draw against Genoa last weekend, defending Champions Inter Milan got a lifeline in the title race. The Nerazzuri are now only one point away from the league leader, Napoli. Inter Milan are now all set to welcome Lazio tomorrow in one of their most important games of the season in Serie A. A win over Lazio will take them at the top of the table until Napoli win their next game. Therefore, the Nerazzurri will give everything to get three points at San Siro.
This season has been a solid one for the Inzaghi boys. They have already secured the Champions League final, defeating Barcelona in the semifinal. On May 31, Inter Milan will face off against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final. But before that, the Nerazzurri have a great chance to seal the league title as well.

Team News
Although the Champions League final is very close for Inter Milan, manager Inzaghi can not afford to rotate his squad as he is also very close to sealing the league title. Therefore, it is expected that Inzaghi will deploy his best possible XI against Lazio.
Despite this, some players are unavailable to play tomorrow due to injuries. Captain Lautaro Martinez got a knock during the second leg of the Champions League semifinal against Barcelona. But the manager will wait until the end for the Inter Milan captain. Davide Frattesi, who scored the winning goal against Barcelona, is also in doubt due to an abdominal injury. Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Benjamin Pavard are long-term absentees for the Nerazzurri, but Kristjan Asllani has recovered and is available for the selection.
As for Lazio, they will miss the services of Mattia Zaccagni and Luca Pellegrini due to a suspension. Additionally, they will be without Nuno Tavares due to his injury. However, Manuel Lazzari and Elseid Hysaj are back again from the injury and suspension.
Possible Lineup for Inter Milan:
Sommer; Bisseck, Acerbi, Bastoni; Darmian, Asllani, Zielinski, Zalewski, Carlos Augusto; Thuram, Taremi
Possible Lineup for Lazio:
Mandas; Lazzari, Gila, Romagnoli, Marusic; Guendouzi, Rovella; Isaksen, Dia, Pedro; Castellanos
Prediction: Inter Milan 2-1 Lazio
It’s a massive chance for Inter Milan to stay alive in the title race with only two games left in the league. They are also in a good rhythm following their massive win against Barcelona in the Champions League semifinal. As a home side, the Nerazzurri will get the advantage, which make them the favorite against Lazio at San Siro.
