Inter Milan can move to within a point of leaders Juventus if they can pull off a victory against outside title contenders Lazio.

Inter are currently four points behind defending champions Juve, on 34 points from 16 games, while Lazio, are a further four points adrift of their opponents Saturday.

"Lazio have had a very good first part of the season," Inter Milan manager Andrea Stramaccioni said.

"I remember at the start people weren't sure about Vladimir Petkovic, but everyone has changed their mind on account of his work and his players' performances. They're a match for anyone -- they only came undone at Napoli but Lazio are one of Italy's top sides."

Inter have done well this year against the top sides, but have struggled against the teams they would have expected to take three points out of, and Stramaccioni said he would rather his side play better against the bigger teams.

"I'd rather this than the other way round," he said. "The performances we've shown against our main rivals prove that we can compete. We are rueful about the points we've dropped but this shows we still have room for improvement. It'd be worse if we'd lost to the top clubs.

"I'd rather our project began like this to be honest, we've shown what we're about and this should give us strength. Juventus? They've been more consistent, not only in their results but in their individual performances, that's why they deserve to be ahead of us.

"We knew we could beat them on a one-off match but their project is a year further on than ours and they have great players and replacements in every position. My target is not Juve, it's Inter. All I'm thinking about is that tomorrow (Saturday) against Lazio we have a big test to show that we can be consistent."

Inter have left out Wesly Sneijder for another game as the contract wrangle continues, while Dejan Stankovic, Joel Obi and Gabi Mudingayi remain ruled out.

For Lazio, Libor Cozak and Luiz Cavanda are suspended, while Sergio Ederson, Mauro Zarate, Floccari, Cristian Brocchi, and Tommaso Rocchi are out injured.
