Roma have carried their excellent finish to last season into the new campaign, following five straight league victories at the end of 2025/26 with another four wins.
The hosts claimed their fourth win of the season with a resounding 2-0 victory against Torino, away from home.
Gian Piero Gasperini’s team have also been exceptionally difficult to break down, having conceded only once in the league this season.
At the other end of the pitch, their 12 goals make them the second-highest scorers in Serie A after four matchdays.
Home form provides further encouragement, with Roma unbeaten in their last 14 league matches at Stadio Olimpico, winning 11 and drawing three.
That combination of attacking output and defensive consistency gives the hosts plenty of confidence before the champions arrive.
Meanwhile, Inter Milan also preserved their perfect start on Monday, although they had to work hard for it.
Cristian Chivu’s side recovered from two goals behind to defeat Udinese 5-3, ensuring that their defence of the Scudetto remains on course after four rounds.
The Nerazzurri have been the most productive attacking side in Serie A so far, scoring 13 goals this season.
Their wider league record is equally impressive, with just one defeat in their last 30 Serie A matches, alongside 23 victories and six draws.
However, Inter Milan have shown some vulnerability at the back in recent outings. They have conceded five goals across their last two league matches.
Their away record suggests that defensive issues could remain a concern for them at Stadio Olimpico.
Inter have conceded at least twice in three of their last five Serie A away fixtures, despite winning three and drawing two of those games.
With Roma combining an outstanding home record with the division’s strongest defensive record and Inter arriving with the league’s most prolific attack, this meeting offers a genuine clash of strengths.
