Roma: 12 goals and just one conceded
Gian Piero Gasperini's side have won all four of their Serie A matches, scoring 12 goals and conceding just one. In the previous round, the Romans comfortably defeated Torino 2-0, while Donyell Malen once again found the net.
Roma have also won their last nine league matches, including the end of last season. However, their home record against Inter remains a weak point: the Romans have not beaten the Milan side at the Olimpico in Serie A since 2016.
Inter: a powerful attack and a perfect start
Christian Chivu's team have also collected all 12 points available. In the last round, Inter trailed Udinese 0-2 but managed to turn the game around and win 5-3.
The reigning champions' attack looks particularly versatile: Pio Esposito, Ange-Yoan Bonny and Marcus Thuram scored in the previous round, while Lautaro Martinez returns to the starting lineup after being rested. Meanwhile, Hakan Calhanoglu and John Stones remain unavailable.
Match facts and head-to-head record
- Roma have won all four of their Serie A matches and conceded only one goal.
- Inter have also secured four consecutive victories and scored 13 goals.
- The Milan side have won nine of their last 11 meetings with Roma and their last five league matches at the Olimpico.
The visitors can once again take advantage of the head-to-head edge: Roma vs Inter prediction
Roma look very cohesive and reliable at the moment, but they have regularly encountered serious problems against Inter in recent years. The Milan side have greater attacking depth and know how to raise their level as the match progresses.
The hosts are certainly capable of scoring, but keeping such a potent attack at bay for the full 90 minutes will be extremely difficult. In a tightly contested game, the visitors' edge could make the difference through their quality in key moments.
