Coppa Italia brings its grand finale to Stadio Olimpico, Rome, as Lazio faces Inter on 13 May 2026. Both teams have carved their paths through tough opponents, but the main narrative revolves around Inter’s dominant run versus Lazio’s inconsistent form. The bookmakers have Inter as clear favorites, but cup finals often bring unexpected drama. One thing stands out — Inter’s captain Lautaro Martínez, who notched two goals and three assists in his last four games, and Lazio’s dynamic midfielder Tijjani Noslin, who has emerged as a creative spark. Both will be decisive in this final.
Hot stat: Inter have scored 16 goals across their last 5 matches, doubling Lazio’s tally in the same period.

Lazio vs Inter prediction
We predict Inter to lift the Coppa Italia trophy. Recent stats strongly favor Inter: 18 wins in 27 matches this season, an 83% win rate over the last 30 days, and a comprehensive 3-0 win against Lazio just days ago. Lazio’s win rate in the same stretch is only 33%, with two wins, two draws, and two losses in their last six games. Inter’s tactical approach with a 3-5-2 formation has produced more goals, fewer yellow cards, and better ball retention — their pass accuracy at 91% outstrips Lazio’s 87%. Inter play a more controlled, aggressive game, winning midfield battles and creating many chances.
Lazio’s style under Sarri still shows flashes of attacking ambition, but their high foul count (69 fouls in last 5 games) and 14 yellow cards suggest a team under pressure, possibly chasing the game. Inter, on the other hand, have racked up only 5 yellows and 55 fouls in the same period, keeping composure and discipline, which might prove decisive. Expect Inter to dominate possession and carve out more scoring opportunities.

Team Analysis
Lazio’s most recent match ended in a 0-3 defeat to Inter. The team struggled to contain Inter’s attack, conceding early and failing to create clear chances despite 8 total shots. Zaccagni and Noslin tried to break through but couldn’t match Inter’s intensity. The last six matches for Lazio have been a mixed bag: two wins, two draws, and two losses. Defensive lapses and occasional attacking brilliance from the wings define their form. The previous matches before Inter show Lazio scraping past Cremonese (2-1) and drawing with Udinese (3-3), but also holding strong opponents like Atalanta and Napoli.
Inter arrive on a wave of confidence. They outplayed Lazio 3-0 in their last outing, with Lautaro Martínez and Marcus Thuram leading the charge. Inter have not lost in their last six matches, winning five and drawing one, with a total of 16 goals scored and only 5 conceded. Their midfield, anchored by Çalhanoğlu and Barella, provides both creativity and defensive stability. Inter’s recent victories over Parma (2-0), Cagliari (3-0), and Como (3-2) underline their attacking depth and ability to control games.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Inter the favourite
- Moneyline Lazio 5.50 | Inter 1.63
- Draw 3.84
- Over/Under Over 2.5 1.90 | Under 2.5 1.85
- BTTS (both teams to score) Yes 1.78 | No 2.10
Inter are given a 58% chance by bookmakers, a clear sign of their superior form and consistent squad. Lazio’s high odds reflect both their recent struggles and Inter’s clinical edge in head-to-head meetings. Draw odds are relatively low, suggesting the market expects goals and an open game, not a cagey stalemate. Over 2.5 at near evens is tempting, given Inter’s recent goal spree. Both teams scoring also looks likely — Lazio tend to find the net in big matches, and Inter’s backline, while strong, sometimes concedes when pushing forward.
Possible Starting Lineups
Lazio possible starting eleven
- GK: Edoardo Motta
- DF: Patric, Alessio Romagnoli, Luca Pellegrini, Nuno Tavares
- MF: Adam Marušić, Toma Bašić, Kenneth Taylor
- FW: Tijjani Noslin, Pedro, Gustav Isaksen
This lineup leans on recent appearances, with Motta in goal and Romagnoli anchoring the defense despite his two recent red cards. Pellegrini’s attacking runs and Nuno Tavares’ defensive work rate will be key. Bašić brings balance in midfield, while Marušić and Taylor support both ends. Noslin, Pedro, and Isaksen form a flexible front three, looking to exploit any Inter lapses. Lazio are likely to start in a 4-3-3, aiming to press high and transition quickly, but risk defensive gaps if they lose shape.
Inter possible starting eleven
- GK: Yann Sommer
- DF: Francesco Acerbi, Carlos Augusto, Manuel Akanji
- MF: Nicolò Barella, Hakan Çalhanoğlu, Federico Dimarco, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Davide Frattesi
- FW: Lautaro Martínez, Marcus Thuram
Sommer remains the reliable choice in goal. At the back, Acerbi, Augusto, and Akanji have been fixtures, offering solidity and composure. Barella and Çalhanoğlu dictate tempo, while Dimarco and Mkhitaryan stretch play wide. Thuram and Lautaro up front have developed strong chemistry and pose a constant threat. Inter should stick with their tried-and-tested 3-5-2, emphasizing ball circulation, wing play, and sharp counterattacks. Keep a close eye on Lautaro Martínez — his form often decides big matches.
