Venue: Stadio Giuseppe Meazza (80018 seats)

1st position in the Serie A table for Inter so far, a good performance. The home supporters hope for more joy as 7th-placed Roma visits Stadio Giuseppe Meazza.

Insights:
  • Inter have the fewest conceded goals (30) in Serie A
  • Roma have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

It's no vacation for neither Inter nor Roma as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Inter are already the Serie A winners and can relax with the season objective secured. If they do relax it might give the away team a slightly better chance in this one. Roma are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.

Inter form and stats

Inter, who have the fewest conceded goals (30) in Serie A, have been outstanding at home so far in the Serie A with 15 wins, 1 draw and only 1 loss. Inter has a nice streak going on as they have played 19 consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Sampdoria defeat 126 days ago. The Inter fans aren't used to losing league-games here at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza and will expect new points from this game. Inter has played 15 games in a row here without a defeat.

Inter's previous game was a Serie A match also played at home, ending 5-1 versus Sampdoria (placed 9th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Before that match, a win away at Crotone.

As mentioned above, Inter "killed" Sampdoria in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Inter matches with similar probabilities have ended with one win, two draws and zero defeats (from three games).

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Inter as they are travelling to their away game against Juventus in the Serie A. That match is three days after this one.

Inter are an "over 2,5 goals" team alone here at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in their league games, having scored an impressive 45 goals in 17 matches. Inter are not conceding a lot of goals here at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 16 from 17 matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Roma form and stats

The visitors are W5-D3-L9 on the road this term. That's in the Serie A. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Roma are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

Impressive finishing from Borja Mayoral (2), Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Lorenzo Pellegrini (2) secured the home win 5-0 against Crotone in their previous game. A home win before that, celebrating 3-2 vs Manchester United.

As mentioned above, Roma was the only team on the pitch versus Crotone in their previous game, winning 5-0. This could be a tougher task.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Roma when being an outsider away as they are today, we find three matches with the visitors losing two times, drawing one and winning zero games.

After this away game Roma return home for a Serie A game against Lazio. That game is only three sleeps after this.

Roma have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 17 league away games 23 goals have been scored. Roma have conceded 35 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

Roma - Inter 2-2 was the story when these teams last met, earlier this season. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: one - seven - two (Inter wins - draws - Roma wins). As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four had two or less.
