Inter Milan vs Roma prediction: Giallorossi to scupper Inter's title hopes

Key Stats

  • Inter have not lost back-to-back Serie A matches in over two years.
  • Roma are in the midst of a 17-match unbeaten run in Serie A, taking a league-high 41 points in that time.
  • Inter have lost just one of their previous 15 meetings with Roma, but they have only won just over half.
  • Roma are yet to win away to a top-half team this season, but have drawn four of their six such matches.

Correct score prediction: Inter Milan 1-1 Roma

It is now four months since Roma tasted defeat in Serie A, catapulting themselves into top-four contention, and they will not fear Inter, who have had a torrid week, losing to Bologna last weekend, before crashing out of the Coppa Italia at the semi-final stage to rivals Milan.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Nerazzurri still fancied by the bookies

  • HOME: 8/11 (1.73) – 57.9%
  • DRAW: 27/10 (3.70) – 27.0%
  • AWAY: 18/5 (4.60) – 21.7%

*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change

A team that have gone unbeaten in 17 matches deserve much more respect in the markets than Roma have been given ahead of this clash, as an away result offers excellent value, with double chance for the visitors being priced at 12/11.

Inter have the most points (39) and goals (37) at home of any club in Serie A this season, so it is no surprise to see them favourites, but they enter the weekend on the back of two worrying results, with Barcelona also on the horizon in midweek.

Most recent H2Hs: Inter have the stronger record

Inter have been the dominant force in this fixture, taking advantage of Roma's early-season struggles in October to record a fourth straight victory over the Giallorossi, and they could make it five in a row here for the first time since 1978.

Inter Milan preview: Inzaghi to revert to a strong XI

Simone Inzaghi needs a win to reinstate some confidence to his side after their humbling 3-0 defeat to Milan on Wednesday, and he should revert to a strong XI here despite the Champions League semi-finals getting underway in midweek.

Marcus Thuram remains sidelined with a muscle injury and will be a huge miss, while Piotr Zielinski and Denzel Dumfries are also missing.

Predicted lineup: Sommer (GK), Pavard, Acerbi, Bastoni, Darmian, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco, Taremi & Martinez

Claudio Ranieri will have a strong squad to choose from for this clash, with squad players Saud Abdulhamid and Victor Nelsson the only two currently sidelined for the Giallorossi.

Player to watch: Artem Dovbyk

After something of a slow start in the Italian capital, Dovbyk has now found his feet, taking Serie A's Player of the Month gong in March, and since leading the line exceptionally in hard-fought games versus Lazio and Juventus.

Dovbyk netted three goals in those three starts he made in March, and he is now just four shy of breaking the 20-goal barrier in his debut campaign in Italian football.
