The victory came after Inter suffered just their second loss of the season, which came against Sassuolo.
Lazio picked up a 2-0 home win over Empoli last time out. The Biancocelesti are four points off the top five with two games left to play.
The Romans still have the chance to qualify for the Champions League. Serie A will have five places in the Champions League next season.
Lazio could still qualify but they need Atalanta and Roma to slip up down the stretch.
Inter are the league’s best home team. They have a home record of 14W-3D-1L and a goal difference of +33.
No team has scored more goals this season than Inter’s 86. Inter also have the best defence, conceding just 19 goals.
Lazio have an away record of 8W-2D-8L. They scored 25 goals and conceded 24 times in 18 road matches. Many of those eight away losses came under former coach Maurizio Sarri.
The Biancocelesti have scored 47 goals and conceded 37 times in 36 league fixtures.
The defence has improved since the arrival of coach Igor Tudor. The team kept three clean sheets in the last four matches.
Inter won the last three head-to-head matches against Lazio. The reverse fixture saw Inter win 2-0 in Rome.
Round 36 will see Inter and Lazio play for a third time this campaign. Along with Inter’s 2-0 league win from earlier this season, the Nerazzurri claimed a 3-0 victory over Lazio in the Coppa Italia.
Lautaro Martinez leads Serie A in goals with 24 this term. He has scored 28% of Inter’s goals. Martinez isn’t the only Inter player to score in double digits for goals. Hakan Calhanoglu and Marcus Thuram have scored 13 goals apiece.
Although Lazio are in form, Inter won the last three games between the clubs, including two matches this season.
Our AI-powered score prediction forecasts an Inter win by a score of 2-0. The loss could end Lazio’s chances of a top-five finish.
