Lazio and Inter Milan will go head-to-head in the Coppa Italia final, one of Italian soccer's biggest domestic prizes, on Thursday, May 14 (KO 07:00 AEDT) at the Stadio Olympico in Rome, the home of Lazio.

But who looks likeliest to come out on top? Let's take a look.

Quick Picks

Our pick: Inter win

Value bet: Over 2.5 Goals

Long shot: Inter 3-0 correct score

Betting Preview

Both teams will be feeling confident of their chances of winning the Coppa Italia.

Lazio will be aiming to win their eighth title, with Maurizio Sarri's side having last won the tournament in the 2018/19 season.

They'll have even more motivation to win this tournament this year, as it would allow them access to the UEFA Europa League after a poor Serie A season saw them miss out on continental soccer.

They defeated last year's champions Bologna in the quarter-finals, before dispatching Atalanta on penalties over two legs after the game finished 3-3 on aggregate.

Inter will enter the Coppa Italia final having already claimed the Serie A title. They blew away the competition in the league, with Cristian Chivu's side having only experienced five defeats all season.

In the Coppa Italia, they defeated Como to reach the final, winning the two-legged semi-final 3-2 on aggregate after a goalless first leg.

In the second leg, they had to come from 2-0 down to win, with Hakan Calhanoglu scoring twice.

Betting Markets to Watch

When looking at the soccer betting odds available, the market suggests that Inter are the most likely to win this encounter.

They are huge favourites, leaving potential value if you feel Lazio have a better chance than most perceive them to.

The problem with that is that they just played each other at the same venue in Serie A. On Sunday, Inter won 3-0, with goals from Lautaro Martinez, Petar Sucic, and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.

Could more of the same be on the cards? Of the last 10 meetings across all competitions, Inter have won seven. Lazio hold one win, while the other two were draws. The last time Lazio won was 10 games ago (August 2022).

Of those 10 games, the 'Over 2.5 goals' market has hit six times, suggesting there's value in this bet for those who enjoy this type of prop. Of the same 10, the BTTS has only hit four times, suggesting 'No' has value.

Our Prediction

Our prediction for the Coppa Italia is that Inter are likely to win. They have a strong H2H and have had a much better campaign than Lazio.

For punters looking to explore how to bet on Serie A teams, this matchup offers a clear form advantage.

For a long shot, we think the game could see a 3-0 correct score once again, especially as history suggests over 2.5 goals and the BTTS not hitting happens frequently.
