Inter Form
Inter have now gone three league games without a win – and it is worth noting that this has not happened to the team at any point in the 2025/26 season. In the previous round, Cristian Chivu’s side drew with Fiorentina (1:1). Despite scoring a quick goal in the first minute, the home team were unable to build on that start and, late on, were actually close to losing. Notably, this was already the third consecutive match in which Inter have conceded, which is uncharacteristic for one of the best defences in the league. As a result, the gap to the nearest pursuer – which had looked unreachable a few rounds ago – has been cut to six points.
-
No more than two goals were scored in Inter’s last five Serie A matches.
-
In 15 home games this season, the Milan side have recorded 11 wins (two draws, two defeats).
-
The club have scored in 17 of their last 18 league matches.
Potential Inter Lineup (5-3-2)
Yann Sommer – Yann Bisseck, Manuel Akanji, Carlos Augusto, Federico Dimarco, Denzel Dumfries – Piotr Zielinski, Hakan Calhanoglu, Nicolo Barella – Francesco Esposito, Marcus Thuram
Forward Lautaro Martinez and midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan will miss the match through injury.
Roma Form
Roma have finally ended a run of three matches without a win. A modest 1:0 against Lecce is not particularly impressive given the level of the opposition, but it is worth noting that Gian Piero Gasperini’s men have scored in seven straight Serie A games. Moreover, that result allowed the away team to pull slightly clear of Atalanta and draw level on points with the Turin side, who now remain ahead of the capital club only on tie-breakers. As things stand, Roma sit sixth in the league with 54 points.
-
Both teams scored in four of the last six Roma matches in the Serie A.
-
In 15 away games this season, the visitors have recorded seven wins (one draw, seven defeats).
-
The club’s scoring run in the league now stands at seven matches.
Potential Roma Lineup (5-4-1)
Mile Svilar – Mario Hermoso, Evan Ndicka, Gianluca Mancini, Konstantinos Tsimikas, Devyne Rensch – Lorenzo Pellegrini, Niccolo Pisilli, Neil El Aynaoui, Bryan Cristante – Donyell Malen
Paulo Dybala, Artem Dovbyk, Evan Ferguson and Matias Soule are on the injury list.
