Simone Inzaghi was no stranger to final day drama in Serie A during his time at Lazio and he will be keen to repeat a miracle of similar proportions to deliver a second successive Scudetto at Inter.

Inter have confirmed that midfielder Roberto Gagliardini has suffered a foot injury which will keen him out of this one.
This may well be the final game in an Inter shirt for a number of players. Ivan Perisic’s contract situation is a concern while Samir Handanovic and Andrea Ranocchia need to agree fresh terms before they end up following Matias Vecino out the exit door.
Manolo Gabbiadini suffered a season-ending knee injury earlier this year in a blow to boss Marco Giampaolo, although the Italian will have been pleased to secure Samp’s stay in the top-flight.
Inter-owned midfielder Stefano Sensi is also unavailable after sustaining a thigh injury earlier this month.
Sampdoria have very little to play for after securing safety in the top flight, which could make them obliging opposition for the Nerazzurri.
Home comforts have proved beneficial for Simone Inzaghi’s side this term and, with Lautaro Martinez in such fruitful goalscoring form, they should be able to play without pressure despite having the Scudetto in their sights.
An early goal for Inter could increase the pressure on their city rivals in Emilia-Romagna.
Prediction: Inter 2-0 Sampdoria
