Simone Inzaghi’s Inter Milan seem unplayable and are on the verge of winning the Serie A title. They’re 12 points ahead of the runners-up, Juventus, and an additional four of their city rival, AC Milan. Therefore, the Rossonerri title hopes have vanished, but there are still enough reasons to play when it comes to Stefano Pioli’s side.Not even reinvented Leao is enough for Rossonerri to beat AtalantaEspecially considering the fact they’re facing SS Lazio in the opening game of the next Serie A round on Friday night at the Stadio Olimpico. The last time the two teams met at the same place, the Biancocelesti trashed Milan 4-0, and that heavy defeat is not forgotten among the Rossonerri.At a press conference ahead of the tie, Pioli admitted the title race is over but warned Lazio that ‘some things remain inside’, referring to that previous encounter of the two. “Inter are having a fantastic season and they’ve had a tough fixture list too. They’ve won all the games convincingly. I think it’s over,” he said and added they only think about Lazio now.High tension at Lazio! Sarri blames the board, and the president replies angrily”We only think about Lazio. We must improve our numbers away. We always try to dominate possession and we’ll try to do the same tomorrow against a quality opponent.”Both teams will try to keep possession with different principles. We have the quality to make them run and create a numerical advantage in some areas of the pitch. We’ll face a strong midfield and duels in that part of the pitch will be crucial.”##NAJAVA_MECA_7918293##The Biancocelesti beat Milan 4-0 in their latest meeting at the Stadio Olimpico last season: “You don’t need to remember these things, they remain inside.”Pioli was asked what he feels when he is criticised on social media with the hashtag #Pioliout.”I am not on social media, but there will always be criticism. We have important targets and I am focused on these things. I am happy and proud to coach here. I think we are doing an excellent work.”SERIE AFriday 22.45: (3.10) Lazio (3.30) Milan (2.35)Saturday 17.00: (1.70) Udinese (3.60) Salernitana (5.30)22.45: (2.65) Torino (3.05) Fiorentina (2.90)Sunday 14.30: (2.30) Verona (3.45) Sassuolo (3.30)17.00: (2.35) Frosinone (3.50) Lecce (3.20)20.00: (2.05) Atalanta (3.50) Bologna (4.00)22.45: (2.45) Napoli (3.10) Juventus (3.15)Monday 22.45: (1.25) Inter (5.70) Genoa (13.0)***odds are subject to change
