Just days after suffering a 3-0 defeat to Inter Milan in Serie A, Lazio have the chance for immediate revenge as the two sides meet again at the Stadio Olimpico, this time with the Coppa Italia Final on the line.
Lazio head into the final determined to end their wait for a first Coppa Italia triumph since 2019, while also knowing victory represents their only route into European football next season.
The Biancocelesti reached their 11th final after overcoming AC Milan, Bologna and Atalanta and will now hope to capture an eighth title in the competition.
Although Saturday’s heavy loss exposed the challenge ahead, Maurizio Sarri’s men still arrive in relatively strong form, having won five of their last nine league matches.
Inter, meanwhile, have already secured the Serie A crown and now have the opportunity to complete a memorable domestic double.
The Nerazzurri are appearing in their first Coppa Italia final in two years and are chasing a landmark tenth triumph in the competition.
Cristian Chivu’s side reached this stage by eliminating Venezia, Torino and Como, while their recent form has been outstanding, with six wins and one draw from seven matches in all competitions.
Defensive solidity has also been key, as three of their last four victories have come alongside clean sheets, including that emphatic win over Lazio last weekend, leaving expectations high for another piece of silverware.

Whispers predicts: Lazio 1-2 Inter Milan
Inter Milan have been the most consistent team in Italy by a massive margin, and their 3-0 demolition of Lazio on Saturday proved they are still playing at their peak.

The bookmakers have positioned the champions as the favourites for the trophy with odds of 1.62, reflecting their recent dominant performance last time out.
A draw after 90 minutes is valued at 4.10, while a Lazio upset to win the cup in regulation time is priced as the underdog result at 4.50.
Other options, like both teams to score at 1.75 odds and over 2.5 goals at 1.72 odds, are available. Another option to consider is the away team total goals (over 1.5), at 1.66 odds.
