While Inter Milan are well on course to clinch the Scudetto, a recent drop-off in form has rekindled hopes for title-chasers AC Milan and Napoli, who are aiming to push for the title down the stretch of the season.
Having dropped two points on March 14, when they conceded an 82nd-minute equaliser to play out a 1-1 draw with Atalanta, the Nerazzurri were involved in a second consecutive share of the spoils last time out, when they played out a 1-1 draw with Fiorentina just before the international break.
Francesco Pio Esposito gave the visitors a dream start to the contest when he opened the scoring in the opening 60 seconds at the Stadio Artemio Franchi, but Cher Ndour hit back for Fiorentina in the 77th minute to force a share of the spoils.
With six goals and 14 assists to his name this season, Federico Dimarco currently sits top of the Serie A goal involvements chart (20), closely followed by fellow teammate Lautaro Martinez (18).
Inter Milan have now gone four consecutive matches without in all competitions since the start of March, losing one and claiming three draws, including a goalless stalemate against Como in the first leg of their Coppa Italia semi-final clash on March 3.
Despite their recent woes, Inter Milan are in pole position to secure their 20th Serie A crown and a first since 2024, as they sit top of the league table with 69 points from 30 matches, six points above second-placed AC Milan.
Following weeks of mediocre results, Roma rekindled their push for a top-four finish last time out when they secured a 1-0 victory over Lecce just before the international break.
With nothing to separate the two sides at half time at the Stadio Olimpico, French youngster Robinio Vaz came up trumps for the home side, netting just six minutes after coming off the bench to hand them all three points.
Inter Milan goalkeeper Yan Sommer has kept the joint-most clean sheets in the Serie A (14), just one more than Roma’s Mile Svilar.
The result over Lecce came as a timely boost for Roma, who had failed to win their previous four matches — losing three and claiming one draw — a run which saw them crash out of the Europa League in the round of 16 following a 5-4 defeat against fellow Italian outfit Bologna.
Gian Piero Gasperini’s men have picked up 17 wins from their 30 Serie A matches, while losing 10 and claiming three draws to collect 54 points and sit sixth in the league standings, level on points with fifth-placed Juventus and three points off fourth-placed Como in the final Champions League qualifying spot.
While Roma will look to continue from where they left off against Lecce last time out, next up is the stern challenge of an opposing side, who are unbeaten in 16 of the last 18 meetings between the teams, claiming 10 wins and six draws since August 2017.
