A Saturday night Serie A fixture at the Stadio Olimpico pits second-placed Roma against a resurgent Inter Milan. Roma have five wins from six league games and have conceded only two goals, reflecting defensive solidity and consistency since Gian Piero Gasperini's arrival. Inter seek a sixth straight win across competitions and historically have had the upper hand in this fixture. Roma recovered from a domestic slip to beat Fiorentina and set early-season defensive and points records under Gasperini. European form has been less convincing after a defeat to Lille. Roma have not beaten Inter at home since 2016.
"Serie A's Saturday night clash at the Stadio Olimpico promises to be one of the highlights of the weekend, as second-placed Roma take on a resurgent Inter Milan. The Giallorossi will aim to end their nine-year wait for a home win over the Nerazzurri, while Cristian Chivu's side chase a sixth straight victory in all competitions. It's a meeting of Serie A's strongest defence and its most prolific attack, in front of what is expected to be a packed Roman crowd."
"Roma's start to the season has been impressive, with five wins from six Serie A matches leaving them level with Napoli at the top of the table on 15 points. Their success has been built on the foundations of defensive solidity - the Giallorossi have conceded just two goals so far - and consistency under Gian Piero Gasperini, whose arrival has injected both structure and aggression into their play."
