Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Inter, 1st position with 38 points and a positive goal difference of +30
Lazio, 10th position with 21 points and a positive goal difference of “0”
Inter remain the sole leader after winning the Serie A Week 16 game against Lazio on Sunday 17 December 2023 at the Olimpico di Roma Stadium in Rome, Italy. This victory is a boost for the morale of the team after the bitterness of the draw against Real Sociedad which cost them first place in the Champions League group and continue their run at the top of the table. Inter moved themselves to +4 above second-placed Juventus.
There he goes… “Inter King Lautaro Martínez” opened the score after defeating Lazio goalkeeper with a left-footed shot to the center. Lautaro is also the top scorer now with 15 goals.

✅ Stats before the game: In the last 10 direct matches in Serie A, Lazio and Inter have never repeated the same result twice in a row: in this partial five victories for the Nerazzurri (including the one in the last match played in April), four for the Biancocelesti and a draw. Inter have not won at home to Lazio in Serie A since 29 October 2018 (0-3 with a brace from Icardi and a goal from Brozovic): since then three victories for the Biancocelesti and a draw; Maurizio Sarri, in particular, in addition to having won both previous home games as coach of the Capitoline club against Inter, is unbeaten at home in the top tournament against the Nerazzurri (five wins and two draws). Inter is the team that has won the most matches with a clean sheet in the five major European tournaments in 2023/24 (10, at least two more than any other team); this is only the fourth time that the Nerazzurri have won at least 12 of the first 15 matches of a Serie A championship (after 2006/07, 2017/18 and 2019/20) and it is only the fifth that they have obtained at least 10 clean sheets at this point of the season (after 1971/72, 1972/73, 1988/89 and 2015/16). This is the sixth time that Lazio has collected 21 or fewer points in the first 15 days of a Serie A championship in the three points per win era (the last one dates back to 2015/16): on all the previous five occasions it was not never finished higher than eighth place at the end of the tournament.
Maurizio Sarri and Simone Inzaghi (197 managers in Serie A with Lazio between 2016 and 2021) are two of the five coaches with the highest average points per game in the top division among those who only coached in the three-point era victory and with at least 150 benches in the competition: 1.93 for the current Lazio coach, 1.92 for the Inter coach – only Conte, Allegri and Ancelotti were better than them.
👉 Lineup LAZIO (4-3-3): Provedel; Lazzari, Casale, Gila, Marusic; Guendouzi, Rovella, Kamada; Felipe Anderson, Immobile, Zaccagni.
👉 Lineup INTER (3-5-2): Sommer; Bisseck, Acerbi, Bastoni; Darmian, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Thuram, Lautaro Martinez.
