Roma on Top

Roma finished last season strong and have continued in the same fashion, currently on top of Serie A.

Donyell Malen is in great form, hitting a hat-trick in a 4-0 win against Fiorentina and scoring the first two goals in a 4-0 win at Lecce. The capital club needed two late goals to secure a deserved 2-1 win at Atalanta.

Gian Piero Gasperini’s side opened their Champions League campaign with a 1-1 draw at Fenerbahce, a decent result at a difficult venue.

Malen got back on the score sheet in Torino, scoring first in a 2-0 victory. Once again the win was fully deserved, Roma ending with 14-8 shots and 2.04-0.47 xG.

Inter Conceding Goals

Inter Milan have a had a perfect start to their Serie A title defence, winning four straight. There have been some defensive concerns in recent weeks.

Cristian Chivu’s side trailed 2-0 against Napoli, Lautaro Martinez scoring two goals including one in added time to secure a dramatic 3-2 victory.

I Nerazzurri were given a difficult task in their opening Champions League clash. They had 64% possession, 21-16 shots and 1.82-2.91 xG at Real Madrid but fell to a 2-1 defeat in Spain.

Inter trailed 2-0 in a third straight match on Monday. They turned it around in style, beating Udinese 5-3 at San Siro after registering 27-6 shots and 5.57-2.03 xG.

Predicted Lineups & Team News

Roma (3-4-2-1) Mile Svilar; Gianluca Mancini, Leonardo Balerdi, Mario Hermoso; Emanuele Lulli, Manu Koné, Bryan Cristante, Nahuel Molina; Paulo Dybala, Matìas Soulé; Donyell Malen

Evan Ndicka is doubtful which could see Leonardo Balerdi continue in central defence. Emanuele Lulli is a chance to continue at right-back and Manu Koné should return in midfield.

Inter Milan (3-5-2) Josep Martínez; Yann Bisseck, Manuel Akanji, Alessandro Bastoni; Andy Diouf, Nicolò Barella, Piotr Zielinski, Curtis Jones, Federico Dimarco; Marcus Thuram, Lautaro Martínez

Chivu is likely to recall Yann Bisseck and Federico Dimarco here. Curtis Jones and Hakan Çalhanoğlu are in line to replace Henrikh Mkhitaryan in midfield.

Lautaro Martínez will surely start up front, Marcus Thuram and Francesco Pio Esposito battling it out to partner the Argentine striker.

Verdict

Roma v Inter Milan

Roma have a fantastic chance to confirm their status as title challengers. Inter Milan have been defensively suspect in recent weeks and could be content with a draw here.
