Inter travel to Lazio knowing that only a win will secure qualification for next season’s Champions League.

This will be the 150th Serie A meeting between the two sides, with the Nerazzurri holding the advantage with 61 wins to 35.

However, the Aquile hold the advantage in Rome, with 26 wins to Inter’s 20 and 28 draws.

The first-ever meeting was on May 5 1929, and 73 years later they would lose the Scudetto on the same date, going down 4-2 and being overtaken by Juventus and Roma in the 2001-02 season.

That defeat was one of only three previous meetings between the teams on the final day, with the Biancocelesti winning all of those games, also taking wins in 2012 and 1935.

In the 74 previous Serie A matches in Rome, Lazio have scored 101 goals to the Beneamata’s 91.

A draw would see Lazio into the Champions League, but that hasn’t happened since March 2008, since when there have been five wins for the hosts and four for the Nerazzurri.

The Aquile have scored more goals from dead balls than anyone else in Serie A with 27, but Luciano Spalletti’s side have conceded the least – only six.

This fixture is being billed as a Capocannoniere showdown, with Inter captain Mauro Icardi one goal behind Lazio’s Ciro Immobile.

The Argentine has scored four goals against the Biancocelesti, but he’s never scored against them at the Olimpico.
