Everyone might be know already that in the 1st meet,Lazio beat the defending champion by 3 goals to 1.But it was when Inter managed by Rafael Benitez.Now,He's not there anymore,has been replaced by former Milan coach Leonardo.It was a shocking news thought,to hire Leonardo.But he's giving all of his best to make Internazionale revive again.
When Rafa there,Inter was at 6th placed;But now its another story.Internazionale on Rafa reign isnt same with Leonardo's reign.The thing is,Leonardo can do better,and even make Inter claimed the 3rd place on the Serie A Table.
For US,Lazio,I'm pretty sure we already know this fact,the fact that show the determination of Internazionale,after hired Leonardo.
I dont think we can do an easy win like we did at Olimpico on the 1st meet.
Our squad are in a great shape,after defeating catania by 4 goals to 1,and the performance of few players has been great,even if we still couldnt use Ledesma and Radu at that time.
But the upcoming match,I'm pretty sure we can do something,at least to maintain the last spot for UEFA Champions League.I dont want to say we are impossible to win against Inter when we play at Giuseppe Meazza.We can do it,and also after Inter shame defeat,It could be hard for them to maintain the great shape.Also,they have been kicked from the 2nd place.I will clearly say they will go all-out to attack us.
But believe me,we are solid than before,and I'm pretty sure with the comfortable win over Catania at Sunday,we have something that could change the result at Giuseppe Meazza.
Zarate is not as ego as before;he even did two assists and a spectacular goal at the last minute.If he still at that performance,I can say we can steal three points from Giuseppe Meazza. Hernanes also have been found his performance,with the 1st goal he made over catania.
I only can say I am looking forward to Il Aquile's great performance at Giuseppe Meazza.Maybe we can steal 3-points there,to maintain our position,while Udinese will have to fight at Friuli against AC Parma,the team who surprisingly defeated Internazionale.
Last but not least,I've come with a prediction in my mind already.
After watch the head-to-head statistic,the meeting record and the player that are on fire,I predict that Lazio will Win by two goals to one...
So,Internazionale Milan 0-2 SS.Lazio
Goals made by Zarate and Mauri.
You got another prediction? You can post it here,let me know if you have it.

The Review on the giornata 33
Milan pounded Sampdoria to go six points clear at the top of the table following Napoli's loss on home soil to Udinese, as Massimiliano Allegri's edge ever closer to the 2010-11 Serie A title.
Goal.com took stock of all the important fixtures, including the Clarence Seedorf and Antonio Cassano-inspired exploits of the league leaders in their 3-0 triumph over dismal Samp, which is now in the relegation zone. Scudetto hopefuls Napoli suffered a blow, surprisingly losing to an Udinese side that was without the injured Antonio Di Natale and Alexis Sanchez, but who were the players who stepped up in their absence?
Inter's season continues to get worse after its Champions League exit, as it was humbled by Parma and the diminutive Sebastian Giovinco. However, qualification to Europe's top competition looks a real possibility for Lazio after its attacking spectacle in Sicily.
Meanwhile, Roma may be under new ownership, but that wasn't enough as it was defeated by the inconsistent Palermo and Juventus could not continue their win streak after being held by Fiorentina.
Furthermore, at the bottom of the table, Cesena picked up key points in its fight against relegation and Genoa was back on form with a convincing 3-0 result versus struggling Brescia.
So finally the result of the few big team in Serie A has been become a shocking news.And this is the Serie A Table for Giornata 33

Giornata 31,Napoli 4-3 SS.Lazio
Edinson Cavani's hat-trick helped Napoli move ahead of Inter Milan into second place in Serie A after they came from behind to beat a Lazio side who had twice led the game.
Napoli coach Walter Mazzarri hailed his team's spirit after the crucial victory.
"This 4-3 result is proof we just do not give up, ever, especially in front of our own fans," Mazzarri said. "Even when 2-0 down we still believed and I think at the end we deserved the victory. We went behind at the first Lazio effort, so for a while it seemed like the game was cursed.
"When you are trailing in such an important game with so much expectation, it's not easy to react. We made a few tactical mistakes, especially on the second goal, so we've got to fix those uncharacteristic errors.
"Cavani was exceptional. It's a shame he got that pointless yellow card and will be suspended against Bologna, but we'll have him for the next six games."
Lazio appeared to be on course to close the gap on Napoli in third place when they took the lead in the 28th minute as midfielder Stefano Mauri fired into the corner of the net from the middle of the penalty area.
The hosts then found themselves two goals up on 56 minutes when centre-back Andre Dias fired in after a pinpoint free-kick from Javier Garrido.
But Napoli have been in fantastic form at the San Paolo, not losing at home since league leaders AC Milan won there in October, and two quickfire goals brought them right back into the match.
Firstly, on the hour mark, full-back Andrea Dossena headed in from six yards before Cavani scored his first of the match two minutes later, another header after a flick-on by Christian Maggio.
Lazio should have been back in front within five minutes as Cristian Brocchi's effort hit the bar and appeared to bounce behind the line, but the referee waved play on.
It did not take long for Lazio to find the goal which restored their advantage - within two minutes of Brocchi's shot Napoli centre-back Salvatore Aronica slid in to attempt a clearance when facing his own goal and turned the ball into the net.
Giuseppe Biava was then sent off for the visitors with ten minutes to go after hauling down the impressive Cavani in the box, the Uruguayan picking himself up to convert the penalty.
Cavani, who is now Napoli's all-time top goalscorer in a single season, then completed his hat-trick with one minute of regulation time remaining, beating the offside trap to lob Fernando Muslera in the Lazio goal to spark scenes of wild celebrations.
The drama did not end there after tempers flared deep into stoppage time, with Lazio's Giuseppe Sculli receiving his second booking of the game but remarkably the referee failed to produce the red card.

Giornata 30,SS.Lazio 1-0 Cesena
Lazio moved above Udinese into fourth place in Serie A thanks to victory over Cesena at the Stadio Olimpico.
A goal from Mauro Zarate after just 88 seconds was enough to lift the Biancoceleste back into the race for a place in the Champions League next season and leave Cesena in danger at the other end of the table.
The home side had chances to make it a more comfortable win and almost paid the price for not doing so as Cesena fought spiritedly until the final whistle, albeit without creating any real chances.
Zarate scored his first goal of 2011 to put Lazio in front after little over a minute.
Stefano Mauri pulled the ball back from the byline and Zarate stretched out his right foot to divert it past Francesco Antonioli inside the far post.
Cesena responded immediately with Dominique Malonga and Luis Jimenez very active behind Erjon Bogdani, but the Lazio defence never really looked stretched.
The home side threatened a second just before half-time with Andre Dias' header from a corner diverted towards goal by Stefano Mauri, but Antonioli made an instinctive save to deny him.

Sculli came even closer to scoring a second in the third minute of the second half when his header was pushed onto the post by Antonioli.
Alvaro Gonzalez's shot was cleared just in front of the goal-line by the defence in the 65th minute as Lazio continued to look for a goal to put the game beyond their opponents.
But Cesena were still fighting and Fabio Caserta should have done better in the 67th minute when he received the ball 15 yards from goal, but he shot straight at Nelson Muslera in the Lazio goal.
Davide Santon curled an effort wide before Zarate did the same at the other end as the game opened up for the final 20 minutes, but there were no further goals as Edy Reja's side bounced straight back from their derby defeat last weekend to move back into the top four.
