The in-form Inter will be keen to maintain their 10-match unbeaten run across all competitions when they make a trip to the capital to face Roma in a crucial Serie A fixture at the Stadio Olimpico on Saturday night with kickoff at 20:00.
Roma have been on and off this season with the capital club claiming eight wins, one draw and six defeats from their 15 Serie A matches collecting 25 points that have them occupying the fifth spot in standings with just three points above the ninth-placed Lazio.
Jose Mourinho’s side head into the match off the back of a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Bologna in their previous outing in the midweek. They failed to find a way back despite having nearly an hour of recovery time and several opportunities. The defeat was a massive blow to Mourinho’s side who had looked to be coming out a slump with wins in their previous two matches.
Therefore, the capital side will be desperate to return to winning ways as they look to completely put an end to their slump and also Roma might find themselves as low as eighth if lose to Inter on Saturday.
Meanwhile Inter Milan have made a solid campaign this season with the reigning champions claiming 10 wins, four draws and just one defeat from their 15 matches collecting 34 points, which have left them sitting in the third spot.
Inter appear to have fully got their tittle defence back on track as they are unbeaten in their last seven Serie A matches claiming five wins and two draws in the run. The strong run has seen Inter move to just two points behind leaders Napoli now and could climb to the top of the standings if the results go their way on Saturday.
Simone Inzaghi’s side head into the match in brilliant form as they have not lost in their last 10 matches across all competitions with a four-match winning streak that includes the back-to-back 2-0 wins over Venezia and Spezia in the Serie A. Also inter have been in an impressive form on the road this season as the club have just one defeat from their eight away matches, claiming five wins in the run.
Inzaghi will therefore hope that his side will keep the momentum going as they continue eyeing the top spot.
