Lazio vs Inter Match Preview: Serie A Clash on 9 May 2026

Lazio host Inter at Stadio Olimpico in Rome on 9 May 2026, in Serie A Regular Season - 36. Lazio arrive in 8th place on 51 points, while leaders Inter sit 1st with 82 points and a goal difference of 51.

Lazio Availability

Lazio have several concerns. I. Provedel (Shoulder Injury) is sidelined. D. Cataldi (Groin Injury) is doubtful. S. Gigot (Ankle Injury) is doubtful. With their first-choice goalkeeper ruled out, Lazio may need to reshuffle at the back, increasing pressure on a defense that has conceded 34 league goals.

Inter Availability

Inter also face notable absences. H. Calhanoglu (Calf Injury) is sidelined. F. Esposito (Back Injury) is doubtful. Luis Henrique (Thigh Injury) is doubtful. Calhanoglu, who has contributed 9 goals and 4 assists with excellent distribution numbers, is a major blow to Inter’s midfield creativity and set-piece threat.

Impact Summary

Inter’s attacking output remains strong despite Calhanoglu’s absence, with Lautaro Martínez (16 goals, 5 assists) and M. Thuram (13 goals, 5 assists) both available to lead the line. Lazio’s issues are more structural than purely attacking, with the loss of Provedel potentially undermining their defensive stability against the league’s most prolific attack (82 goals).
