Inter have been predicted to beat Lazio when the two sides face each other on Saturday evening at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, according to a report in the Italian media.

As has been reported by FCInter1908, the majority of betting companies have decided that Inter are the best prepped and higher quality team out of the two.

Planetwin365 revealed that 44% of bets have gone in favour of Simone Inzaghi getting a win in the first match against his former team since he left them in the summer for Inter. 28% of bets were expecting a Lazio win.

Inter could still have a very depleted squad for the game depending on how the South American players are doing physically after returning from international duty so close to the Serie A fixture.

Many bets may have been placed on the assumption that Inter are playing a full strength squad which may not be the case.
