A pulsating title race is taking shape in Serie A this term, with the top five teams separated by just three points. Inter Milan are the defending champions in Italy, and they have won nine of their opening 14 matches this term.
They have avoided defeat across their last five in Serie A, winning on four occasions over that period. A win on Monday could potentially see them end the round at the summit.

However, their record against Inter is extremely poor after winning just twice in the last eight league meetings between the sides. Meanwhile, Inter have scored at least once in each of their last eight visits to the Stadio Olimpico.
Lazio’s start to the season has put them on the verge of making club history, as a win on Monday would see them win 34 points after 16 rounds of matches for the first time since 2019-20.
Inter’s record on the road is well worth considering this week, as they have already netted 41 on their travels. That is their third most in history, and they are just five goals away from the tally recorded in 1949.
Lazio vs. Inter Milan Picks
Cases can be made for both of these teams in Serie A this week. Inter have been a dominant force on the road in Italy throughout 2024, and their healthy head-to-head advantage could be hard to dismiss when making selections on Monday.
