Roma and Inter arrive at the Stadio Olimpico with identical records: four wins from four, twelve points, zero losses. It’s a rare scenario in Serie A where the top two meet this early with both sides still perfect, and neither Gasperini nor Chivu will want to blink first. Roma’s defense has been the story so far, conceding just once in four league games, while Inter’s attack has piled up thirteen goals in the same span. Something has to give.
Paulo Dybala pulls the strings for Roma without needing to score himself, four assists in five matches tells you everything about his current form. On the other side, Lautaro Martínez leads Inter’s line with the kind of composure that has made him captain material, and his movement against a back three could decide the tightest margins.
Hot stat: Donyell Malen has scored six goals in Roma’s last five matches, more than any other player involved in this fixture, and it’s a number that should worry an Inter defense missing some structure without Acerbi’s old marshalling.

Roma vs Inter prediction
We predict a tight, low-scoring affair with Inter edging it narrowly, perhaps 1-2. The bookmakers have this close for a reason, Inter carry 37% market expectation against Roma’s 36%, and the draw sits at 27%. Roma’s defensive record at home is genuinely impressive, but Inter’s shot volume (121 in five games versus Roma’s 93) and superior passing accuracy suggest they can create enough to nick it late.
Roma play a physical, compact game under Gasperini, seven yellow cards and 71 fouls across five matches shows a side willing to break up rhythm through contact. Inter, by contrast, control possession more (2911 pass accuracy figure against Roma’s 2538) and rely on patient build-up through Barella and Çalhanoğlu. That contrast in styles, aggression versus control, should produce a scrappy first half and a more open finish as legs tire.

Team Analysis
Roma’s last outing against Torino ended 2-0, continuing a run where they’ve won four of their last five, drawing only against Fenerbahce. The clean sheet against Torino extended a pattern, Roma have conceded just once across their last three matches, and Gasperini’s back three looks settled. In our preview of Torino vs Roma we called a comfortable Roma win by roughly two goals, and the 2-0 result delivered exactly that margin.
Inter’s most recent game was a wild 5-3 win over Udinese, their fourth win in five outings with the only blemish a narrow loss to Real Madrid. That Udinese match showed both strengths and cracks, Inter scored five but also conceded three, a theme that has followed them all season. In our preview of Inter vs Udinese we predicted a comfortable Inter win alongside Over 2.5 and BTTS Yes, and the 5-3 scoreline delivered on all three counts.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Roma the favourite
- Moneyline Roma 2.68 | Inter 2.56
- Draw 3.41
The odds barely separate these two, and rightly so. Roma’s home form and defensive numbers keep them competitive, but Inter’s superior shot count and away scoring record explain why bookmakers lean marginally toward the visitors. To be hones, a draw at these prices isn’t a bad shout either, given how evenly matched the underlying stats look.
Possible Starting Lineups
Roma possible starting eleven
- GK: Mile Svilar
- DF: Mario Hermoso, Gianluca Mancini, Daniele Ghilardi
- MF: Wesley Vinícius França Lima, Bryan Cristante, Manu Koné, Niccolò Pisilli, Nahuel Molina
- FW: Donyell Malen, Paulo Dybala
Gasperini sticks with his trusted 3-5-2, the shape that has underpinned Roma’s defensive solidity all season. Malen’s goal threat pairs with Dybala’s creativity up top, while Molina and Wesley provide width from deep. Watch Mancini closely, he’s been Roma’s most reliable defensive outlet in the air.
Inter possible starting eleven
- GK: Josep Martinez
- DF: Alessandro Bastoni, Yann Bisseck, Manuel Akanji
- MF: Federico Dimarco, Nicolò Barella, Hakan Çalhanoğlu, Carlos Augusto, Piotr Zieliński, Marcus Thuram
- FW: Lautaro Martínez
Chivu’s 3-4-2-1 leans on Dimarco and Carlos Augusto for width, with Zieliński and Thuram operating just behind Lautaro. Barella’s engine in midfield will be key against Roma’s physical setup, and his ability to break lines could unlock the tightest defense in Serie A right now.

TipsGG Match Prediction
Our punters team sees this as one of the closer contests on the Serie A calendar this weekend. Roma’s defensive discipline under Gasperini has been remarkable, but Inter’s attacking depth, spread across Lautaro, Thuram and Zieliński, gives them enough tools to break through. We predict Inter to edge a tight one, likely 1-2, with goals arriving in both halves and both teams finding the net. Corners should run high too given Inter’s wing-heavy approach through Dimarco and Carlos Augusto against Roma’s compact shape.
