2 – Inter over 1.5 total goals – 5/7
3 – Total goals scored over 2.5 – 11/17

5 – A 2-2 draw at – 14/1
Lazio and Inter have both enjoyed positive starts to the 2022-23 Serie A season with four games unbeaten combined between them.
Simone Inzaghi’s side do have an edge in terms of overall form, with six points from two games, compared to Lazio’s return of four points.
Inzaghi knows his side cannot afford to slip in their battle to remain in the title race but they are likely to face a real test in the Italian capital, despite the slight advantage as favourites.
Lazio’s form will present an issue for Inter and based on a home win on the opening weekend of the campaign they will be confident of holding out for a least a point in Rome.
However, what is relatively guaranteed is goals on the menu at the Stadio Olimpico, based on their respective hot streaks in front of goal.
Inter have scored five goals in their two games this season, with an average of 2.5 per 90 minutes, with over 1.5 scored in both outings.
Inzaghi’s side have not failed to score in a league game since mid-February and they will be looking to maintain that run of goals this weekend.
Lazio will be confident of posing an attacking threat, with two goals scored this season, both coming in their home win over Bologna.
However, the hosts have not failed to fire at home since their Rome derby loss to Roma back in March.
With both sides capable of scoring goals, but with a 50% clean sheet record this season, this contest looks certain to be full of goals at both ends of the pitch, with a high scoring a very strong option.

Lazio team news
Sarri is boosted by the return of goalkeeper Luis Maximiano, following a one-game ban, and he is expected to come back into the starting XI. That is likely to be the only change for the home side following their 0-0 draw at Torino.
Inter team news
Inzaghi has no fresh injury problems to battle with as Armenian international Henrikh Mkhitaryan is still out of action. On the back of two wins in Serie A action the former Italian international looks set to stick with an unchanged starting XI this weekend.
