Saturday night lights up in Rome as AS Roma welcome Inter Milan to the Stadio Olimpico for a blockbuster Serie A encounter that could shape the early title race.
Both teams enter the clash in superb domestic form — Roma have won five of their six Serie A games this season, sharing top spot on 15 points with reigning champions Napoli. Under new manager Gian Piero Gasperini, the Giallorossi have forged the league’s most resilient defence, conceding just two goals, while securing statement wins, including a fiery Derby della Capitale triumph over Lazio.
Their latest victory — a 2–1 comeback win at Fiorentina — saw Matias Soulé and Bryan Cristante on target, extending Roma’s unbeaten streak in the league.
However, they now face the ultimate test against an Inter Milan side that have rediscovered their attacking brilliance under Simone Inzaghi. The Nerazzurri are chasing their sixth straight win and boast Serie A’s most lethal frontline, averaging nearly three goals per match.
Inter also hold a dominant recent record at the Olimpico — Roma haven’t beaten them at home since 2016, losing five of their last eight meetings in the capital.
With Italy’s best defence taking on its most explosive attack, the stage is set for a thrilling tactical battle under the lights in Rome.
