Lazio vs Inter: Serie A Match Preview

Lazio host Inter at Stadio Olimpico in Rome on 9 May 2026 (16:00 UTC) in Serie A, Regular Season - 36. Lazio arrive sitting 8th on 51 points, while league leaders Inter top the table with 82 points and a goal difference of 51.

Lazio Availability

Lazio have concerns at both ends of the pitch. I. Provedel (Shoulder Injury) is sidelined, ruling out the experienced goalkeeper. In midfield, D. Cataldi (Groin Injury) is doubtful, which could affect Lazio’s control in central areas. At the back, S. Gigot (Ankle Injury) is doubtful and his potential absence would reduce options in the defensive rotation.

No suspensions are reported for Lazio.

Inter Availability

Inter also face notable absences. H. Calhanoglu (Calf Injury) is sidelined, a major blow given his 9 goals and 4 assists in Serie A, underpinned by a 7.51 rating and 41 key passes. In attack, F. Esposito (Back Injury) is doubtful, while Luis Henrique (Thigh Injury) is doubtful, slightly thinning depth in the forward line.

No suspensions are reported for Inter.

Impact Summary

Lazio’s main issue is defensive stability and midfield balance without Provedel guaranteed and with Cataldi and Gigot doubtful, but their primary attacking options remain available. Inter, despite losing Calhanoglu’s significant goal and creativity output, still retain leading scorers and creators such as Lautaro Martínez and M. Thuram, meaning their overall attacking threat stays high.
