The defending champions enter the Stadio Olimpico trying to catch up with league leaders Milan and Napoli. Follow this match with this guide.

Serie A is back from the International break with a bang, as Lazio and Inter prepare to lock horns in one of the most interesting games of the weekend.

Lazio enter this game with much to prove, as Maurizio Sarri's men have only been capable of winning once in their last four games. Their last result before the break saw Le Aquile earn a disappointing three-nil defeat against Bologna, which saw them slip down the rankings to sixth place, the first time they found themselves out of the top five teams in the league.

When it comes to individual performances, Lazio will surely rely on striker Ciro Immobile, one of the top scorers in the league with six goals to his name. The Italian capital side will also want to get Luis Alberto and Felipe Anderson involved in the game, as they have handed three and two assists respectively this season. Whatever chances Lazio have of winning this match will be closely connected to the performances of these three men.

On the other side of the pitch will be Inter. The defending champions have successfully remained unbeaten after seven games in the Italian top-flight, but sadly it has not been enough for them to lead the league. Right now, the nerazzurri side is ranked third behind Napoli (21 pts) and Milan, who are two points ahead of them. Inter's last game before the International break ended in a 2-1 come-from behind win against Sassuolo.

The fate of Simone Inzaghi's men will surely have to do with the performances of three footballers: Edin Dzeko, Lautaro Martínez, and Nicolo Barella. Dzeko and Martínez are involved in the top scorer race, with the Bosnian striker scoring six times during this season. Meanwhile, Martínez has scored five times for the nerazzurri, keeping him in contention for the Golden Boot in Italy. As for Barella, the midfielder has handed out five assists this season, which make him the leader in the Italian league.

While both sides may enjoy a full squad to choose from, they might be wary of those players who left for the international break, especially those who played in South America. The reason to mention this is that some of those footballers may not make it back in time or fit to play their matches since their activity with their national teams ended in the earlier hours of Friday in Italy.
