“We know that a very difficult game awaits us, as Juve will be like a wounded animal after their defeat to Fiorenitina,” said the Aquile Coach in his Press conference.
“Lazio will play an open, attacking game. I saw my lads highly motivated, we can play our game. We realise Juve have won their last 28 consecutive Serie A home matches, but nothing is impossible. We are convinced we can do well here.
“We’ve had a good season and I can tell the fans are pleased with how we’re playing. The difficult part comes now, as there’s a whole second half of the campaign to go and we’re not a surprise package anymore. We’ve got to be ready.
“We are in the running for Europe and want to fight to the end. We’re all working together towards a single goal.”
Dusan Basta is injured, Senad Lulic suspended and Keita Balde Diao still at the Africa Cup of Nations with Senegal.
“I’d have preferred to play with a full squad at my disposal, but these things happen in football. We’ve got to start strong and the team believes in its chances. We want a great performance and we’ll see what happens.
“We have the utmost respect for the Bianconeri and I tried to tell my players that it all depends on us. We’re facing the top team, but have already proved we can fight it out with everyone.”
Roma are in second place and pushing for the Scudetto, while Lazio are currently fourth, just four points behind their city rivals.
“It’s a very balanced situation in the Capital and the only real difference between the sides this season was the derby result,” added Inzaghi.
“There’s a minimal gap between the teams, so the most consistent in the second half of the season will emerge.”
