The Serie A Matchday 34 clash between Inter and Roma will take place on April 27 at the San Siro Stadium in Milan. Inter vs. Roma: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Inter
In the previous round, Simone Inzaghi's side suffered a 0-1 away defeat to Bologna. As a result, Inter's seven-match unbeaten run in the league (5 wins, 2 draws) came to an end. This defeat marks the team's fourth in the current Serie A season, although they only lost twice throughout the previous campaign. In the league standings, the club still holds the top spot with 71 points, but only leads Napoli on goal difference. Notably, Inter is the highest-scoring team in the current championship with 72 goals.
- The club has not lost in their last 13 home matches in Serie A (10 wins, 3 draws).
- The team has scored at least two goals in 8 of their last 9 home league matches.

Defender Denzel Dumfries, midfielder Piotr Zielinski, and forward Marcus Thuram may miss the match due to injuries. Defender Alessandro Bastoni and midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan are suspended.
Roma
Claudio Ranieri's side overcame Verona 1-0 at home in the last round. Consequently, Roma extended their unbeaten run in the league to 17 matches (12 wins, 5 draws). Additionally, the club kept a clean sheet for the 13th time in the current Serie A season. However, it's worth noting that the team hasn't scored more than one goal in any of their last six league matches.

Inter vs. Roma: Match Prediction
There is no doubt about Inter's attacking capabilities, and once again, they are expected to play aggressively up front. Simone Inzaghi's side regularly scores at home: the last time Inter failed to score in a home league match was over two years ago, and their home scoring streak stands at 38 matches. However, the team is not as defensively solid as before, having kept only one clean sheet in their last seven Serie A home matches.
Roma is in excellent form, especially in recent away encounters. Claudio Ranieri's side tends to rely on attacking play, spending a lot of time in the opponent's half: in their last seven away matches, Roma has found the net. It's also worth noting that in 3 of the last 4 head-to-head meetings at Inter's ground, the club scored. Additionally, Roma may capitalize on their opponent's fatigue following a cup match earlier this week.
I believe both teams will effectively play in attack and score. My prediction: Both teams to score – yes
