The Nerazzurri beat Lazio away (2-0) in the last match of Serie A. The match was even, the rival even made more attacks, but Inter showed efficiency in dangerous moments. At the end of the first half, Lautaro Martínez opened the scoring and in the 66th minute, Marcus Thuram scored the second goal.

In the press conference after the match, the Inter coach said that the team was doing well, but there were still many days ahead and it was too early to celebrate the victory. He believes that you have to keep working and approach each opponent carefully.

However, Inzaghi clearly underestimated Bologna’s strength in the final Italian Cup match. The Snakes rotated their squad and failed to score a goal in 90 minutes. In extra time, the opponent was more persistent, winning 2-1 and eliminating the Nerazzurri from the tournament.

Inter occupies first place in the Serie A standings with 41 points in 16 games. The club won 13 games and ended two in a draw. It is worth noting that the “snakes” played eight home games, in which they won six victories.

In the last five matches in Serie A, Inzaghi’s men performed well. They defeated Frosinone (2-0), Napoli (3-0), Udinese (4-0) and Lazio (2-0), and ended the match with Juventus in a draw (1-1).

Lautaro Martínez stands out in Inter’s attack line. The 26-year-old striker has scored 15 goals and provided two assists in the current Serie A. There are concerns about his condition. In the match against Bologna, the player was substituted in the 99th minute, but Inzaghi is in no hurry to draw conclusions and is waiting for the results of the examination.

Lecce beat Frosinone at home (2-1) on the last round of Serie A. The Wolves attacked from the first minutes and in the 11th minute Roberto Piccoli opened the scoring. The rival recovered in the first half. Then came a tough game in the midfield without many moments of danger. The outcome came shortly before the end of the match: Yulbert Ramadani scored the winning goal.

Lecce have had a good performance in their last five Serie A games. They defeated Frosinone (2-1) and finished tied with Milan (2-2), Verona (2-2), Bologna (1-1), Empoli (1:1). Thus, both teams scored in each of these games.

The Wolves are 12th in the Serie A standings with 20 points from 16 games. The club won four games in this competition and finished tied in eight. It should be noted that Lecce played eight away games in which they did not achieve a single victory.

The defeat in the last match of the Italian Cup forces the coach of the “snakes” to take quick response measures. It is necessary to confidently beat Lecce to rehabilitate themselves in front of the fans and not allow Juventus to reduce the distance to first place. Let’s consider a bet on Inter’s victory and the total of more than 3.5 goals with an odds of 2.78.
