The managers A. Conte and Paulo Fonseca are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the Serie A league table.
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
The home supporters can't complain about results here at Giuseppe Meazza as Inter have scored 13 goals to get 16 points from 7 games. The overall stats in the Serie A are 5-1-1 (wins-draws-losses). The team is able to perform also as the away side, as they are nurturing a very healthy winning streak of five straight victories regardless of arena. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Inter after consecutive victories at their own ground.
Inter's previous game was a Serie A match also played at home, ending 2-1 versus SPAL (placed 19th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Before that match, a Champions League win away at Slavia Praha.
The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Inter handle that role? We have found three games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The win/draw/lost stats in these games are W1-D2-L0.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Inter as they have a new game in only four days, a Champions League match thankfully also at home. Barcelona are visiting.
The Inter fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 13 goals in 7 league matches. Inter have only conceded 6 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Roma form and stats
The away team have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 4 wins, 2 draws and only 1 loss in the Serie A.
Two travels in a row for Roma, whose manager Paulo Fonseca could celebrate last time after the Serie A win against Hellas Verona. Preceding that game was the away Europa League victory against Istanbul Basaksehir with the score of 3-0.
We have checked recent matches where Roma have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those four games were W0-D3-L1.
The travelling fans enjoy Roma's attacking play in away games, having scored 11 goals in 7 league matches away. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (5 so far).
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: 3 wins for Inter, 4 draws and 3 wins for Roma. Over 2,5 goals: 6 times; under 2,5 goals: 4 games.Top Goalscorers
