On paper Lazio and Inter play a similar style, with both Antonio Conte and Simone Inzaghi preferring a 3-5-2 system.
The two meet tomorrow night in Rome with just one point between them, in a match which will be crucial for both sides.
While the formations may be similar though, Corriere dello Sport points out some crucial differences between the two sides.
Inter look to move the ball quickly to Romelu Lukaku, who is second in Serie A for key passes with 21.
The only player above him is Lazio’s Luis Alberto, an attacking midfielder, which shows the difference in attacking play between the two teams.
The Nerazzurri play with two out-and-out strikers in Lukaku and Lautaro Martinez while Sunday’s opponents tend to play with Joaquin Correa or Felipe Caicedo just off Ciro Immobile.
Both sides are in fine form, with Inter undefeated away from home in Serie A (nine wins and two draws) while Lazio are unbeaten at home (nine wins and three draws).
Corriere dello Sport believes physicality could make the difference, with Inter leading Serie A in headed goals.
They’ve managed 16 since the start of the season while the Aquile have only scored four.
Inter have attempted 167 crosses so far, with 88 incomplete, while Lazio have been unsuccessful with 107 of their 137.
The Nerazzurri are more accurate with their shooting, 54.3% to 51.4%, but Lazio have taken 293 shots to their 263.
