Team News:
- Inter Milan remain without several squad options. Raffaele Di Gennaro continues recovery from a broken hand and targets a return in mid-November. Tomas Palacios and Henrikh Mkhitaryan both work back from thigh issues, also aiming for later this month. Matteo Darmian deals with a muscle problem and expects a similar mid-November timeline.
- Lazio are managing several fitness concerns ahead of this match. Alessio Romagnoli remains sidelined with a thigh injury until late November. Nuno Tavares, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, Matteo Cancellieri, and Valentin Castellanos all aim for mid-November returns from muscle or thigh issues. Samuel Gigot and Nicolò Rovella remain doubtful as they monitor muscle and groin problems.
Player(s) to watch:
- Lautaro Martínez will step into this match as Inter Milan’s sharpest threat. He leads the line with conviction, finishes chances with clean precision, and presses with relentless energy. The Argentine’s movement between defenders often opens space. His confidence literally drives Inter forward. If Inter seize control, Lautaro will likely drive the key moments. He has scored three goals and provided two assists in 10 matches in Serie A so far this season.
- Mattia Zaccagni will enter this match as Lazio’s key outlet on transitions. He carries the ball with pace, times his runs into pockets, and can unsettle Inter Milan’s defensive shape. Zaccagni’s ability to escape pressure, link with midfield, and deliver decisive final actions could determine whether Lazio sustain attacking momentum in possession. He has scored three goals in nine matches so far in the Serie A this season.
