Serie A: Two contenders in reasonable form get together for this match. Roma with a tiny advantage with their 6th position in the table?
- Inter have the most matches over the total-line (6) in Serie A
- Roma have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Inter form and stats
Perfect Serie A season at home so far for Inter 3 wins from 3 appearances.
Inter lost their last game at Udinese (placed 3rd) after a 1-3 scoreline. Barella (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.44/10. Barella scored one goal, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.
Before that game, a strong away victory at Viktoria Plzen. A Champions League game. The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Inter have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 6 games) they have won 3 times, drawn 2 and lost 1.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Inter as they have a new game in only three days, a Champions League match thankfully also at home. Barcelona are visiting.
Goals decide football matches and Inter are scoring many of them at home; 7 on target from 3 league matches. Defensively Inter have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (1 in 3 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Roma form and stats
The visitors are W2-D1-L1 on the road this term. That's in the Serie A.
Roma's previous game was their home loss versus Atalanta (0-1). Pellegrini, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 8.64. Pellegrini hit six key passes, dribled past the opponent 3 of 5 times and had 37 successful passes (of 41 total).
A home win as anticipated against HJK before that, in the Europa League. Roma are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 1 win, 2 draws and 1 defeat. From a total of 4 matches.
In the opposite end, Roma have conceded 6 goals in their away games.
Head 2 Head
The 4 latest matches involving these sides have all ended as Inter wins. Surely both teams are aware of this.Top Goalscorers
