Inter Milan vs Lazio Prediction 25.02.2025 | Serie A

• Competition: Coppa Italia - Quarter-Finals
• Date: Tuesday, 25th, February 2025
• Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21.00 CET
• Venue: Stadio Giuseppe Meazza (Milano)

Inter Milan’s goal will be to progress to the Coppa Italia final-four when they take on Lazio at the Stadio Giuseppe Meaza on Tuesday night.

Napoli’s shocking 1-2 collapse against newcomers Como away, combined with Lautaro Martinez’s solitary goal in their win over Genoa, has allowed Inter Milan to leap to the top of the table and seize control of the Scudetto race with 12 more rounds of top-flight action still to play. The current Serie A leaders are now setting their sights on the Coppa Italia, where they are desperately eager to make amends for their shock early exit last season in the last-16 round, while also aiming to lift their third trophy in the competition in the past four editions, having previously won it in 2022 and 2023.

In the battle for a spot in the final four, the Nerazzurri will clash with the capital club Lazio, who are desperate to make back-to-back Cup semifinals after falling just short of the final last year, losing to eventual champions Juventus in a dramatic 2-3 aggregate defeat. Ahead of their trip to Milan, the Biancocelesti failed to solidify their fourth-place position in the Serie A standings, as they were forced to settle for a lifeless 0-0 draw against Hellas Verona, giving fifth-placed Juventus a chance to knock them out of the Champions League spots if they secure a win in Cagliari.

Inter Milan vs Lazio Betting Tips : UNDER 2.5 

While playing on home soil gives them an edge, Inter’s lack of dominance in their latest fixtures suggests they will have to put in a determined and relentless effort to break down a Lazio side that has established itself as a resilient and stubborn opponent lately. With both sides expected to prioritize caution over risk, this tightly contested battle could very well remain deadlocked until extra time or even penalties, since the likelihood of relentless offensive surges or end-to-end excitement in regulation appears rather slim. The lack of cutting edge and precision in the final third has been evident for the Nerazzurri, as they have failed to score more than once in four of their last five competitive outings, while in two of their last four matches, they have drawn a blank in front of goal. It is also worth noting that Lazio has struggled to apply the finishing touch in the final third on their travels, as they have failed to get on the scoresheet in four of their last five away outings across various competitions, including a dull goalless stalemate over the weekend in the city of love against Verona. With both sides facing difficulties in converting chances lately and knowing that this is a do-or-die encounter with no second opportunity, we expect a tactical battle where defensive discipline takes center stage, potentially resulting in a low-scoring showdown.
