Serie A: AS Roma vs Inter live
Preview
Jose Mourinho’s AS Roma host Inter at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome with both sides fighting to secure a top-four spot in the league. The match is scheduled to kick off at 4:00 pm(GMT) with Fabio Maresca in charge as center referee. Roma have failed to impress over the last couple of weeks in their league matches but have all to play for today as they seek to return to Europe’s premier club competition. Inter are enjoying a good run at the moment and will back themselves for the win today in the capital.
The Yellow and Reds sit 7th in the league with 58 points after 33 matches. Mourinho’s side have won two, drawn two and lost one of their last five competitive matches, finding the net in each game. In their last match against Monza, Roma threw away a 1-0 lead to draw 1-1 with Stephen El Shaarawy scoring for his side. With eight wins in their last ten home league matches, AS Roma have all it takes to secure a win against Inter.
I Nerazzuri sit 4th in the league with 60 points after 33 matches. Inter are without defeat in each of their last five matches, winning four and scoring an impressive sixteen goals over the period. Simone Inzaghi’s men trashed Hellas Verona 6-0 at the Marc Antonio Bentegodi Stadium, with a brace each from Lautaro Martinez and Edin Dzeko. Hoping to climb higher up the table, a win today will be important to Inter’s quest of finishing in the top four.
Head-to-head
The last five meetings between AS Roma and Inter Milan have seen four wins for Inter and a win for Roma. Their last meeting was in the reverse fixture back in October with Roma coming from a goal down to win 2-1. Paulo Dybala and Chris Smalling scored to cancel out Federico Dimarco’s opener.
Prediction
On a very good day, Inter are more than capable of beating the very best in the league. On an impressive run coupled with the excellent form of their forward players, Inzaghi should be very confident of the win today. Roma under Jose Mourinho are a very difficult team to face especially at the Stadio Olimpico. Considering what is at stake in today’s match, a draw seems the most probable outcome.
