Roma vs Inter Milan

Stadio Olimpico is the venue as Roma and Inter Milan face each other in a mouth-watering Serie A top-four six-pointer.

After a gut-wrenching 1-1 draw at Monza in midweek condemned his side to a third consecutive winless match in Serie A (D2, L1), Roma boss Jose Mourinho lashed out at the referees, which puts him at risk of missing out on Inter’s visit this weekend. Despite dropping out of the top six altogether, ‘I Giallorossi’ are still firmly in the race of a first top-four finish since 2018/19, with only two points separating them from fourth-placed Inter at the start of this round. As such, only a victory would do for the hosts, who came from behind to post a 2-1 triumph in the reverse fixture, meaning they could beat Inter in back-to-back Serie A H2Hs for the first time since February 2017. Defensive resilience will be crucial, as each of Roma’s seven home league wins in 2023 has yielded a clean sheet (D1, L1).

On the other hand, visiting Inter took advantage of their top-four rivals’ midweek slip-ups to move two points clear in a coveted fourth spot with a blockbuster 6-0 romping of relegation-battling Hellas Verona on the road. That result forms part of Inter’s eye-catching run of three successive wins away from home in all competitions, all of which came by 2+ goals ‘to nil.’ Since a 2-1 defeat in April 2016, ‘I Nerazzurri’ have gone unbeaten on their last five top-flight visits to the Olimpico to take on Roma (W2, D3), including a scintillating 3-0 victory in this corresponding fixture in 2021/22. But Simone Inzaghi’s men cannot rest easy yet, knowing they had conceded precisely twice in their three previous Serie A H2Hs in Rome.
