Inter take on the visitors Lazio in the quarterfinal match of Coppa Italia. The match will be played on Tuesday, February 25th at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro) (Milan).
Inter still has a lot to play for this season. Nerazzurri are not as dominant as they were in 2023/2024, which isn’t surprising—it was always going to be difficult to maintain the incredible level that secured them the Scudetto with games to spare. This time, Simone Inzaghi fell short in the Supercoppa Italiana, and the Serie A title race has been far more competitive. That said, Inter remains firmly in the top three and, at times, even in the top two, as one of the main contenders for the championship. Interestingly, after losing to Juventus, they managed to reclaim first place by edging Genoa 1-0. In the Champions League, they have also performed well and deservedly secured a place in the Round of 16.

Lazio has undeniably improved under Baroni. Le Aquile have never truly returned to the top of Italian football since their Scudetto at the turn of the century. That’s why their second-place finish in 2023 under Maurizio Sarri was considered a major achievement. However, the following season unraveled quickly, and Sarri didn’t even last a full campaign in Rome. Even without him, Lazio salvaged seventh place, finishing just one point ahead of Fiorentina. Under Marco Baroni, after overcoming early struggles, the team has been impressive in the Europa League group stage and has pushed itself into the race for fourth place in Serie A. However, after a grueling 2-2 draw with Napoli, they seemed drained and could only manage a goalless stalemate against relegation-threatened Venezia. Notably, Lazio had eliminated Napoli in the previous round of the Coppa Italia. Lazio’s defensive improvements have made them a tough opponent, but their inconsistency in attack remains a concern.
Lazio has won just once in their last five meetings with Inter. That solitary success came late last season, when Inter, already crowned champions, allowed the match to end in a draw. Inter is the clear favorite, but Lazio has been underestimated. Back the visitors with a +1 Handicap.
Prediction for the match: Lazio to win with +1.0 handicap.
