- Inter have won four of the last five meetings, including a 5-2 home win over Roma five months ago in Serie A 2025/2026.
- Roma are undefeated at home in Serie A 2026/2027 with two wins from two, while Inter have won their only away fixture to nil.
- Donyell Malen is Roma's most reliable threat with five goals in three Serie A 2026/2027 games, but the Giallorossi have been playing through Paulo Dybala, who has four assists in as many games.
Early-season Serie A classic awaits
With both AS Roma and Inter in the top four of the Serie A 2026/2027 table on nine points apiece, Saturday's clash looks like an early season heavyweight clash at Stadio Olimpico.
The home side are 2nd to Inter's third place, but both teams are unbeaten after three games and this will surely be a closely fought chess match between two clubs with contrasting styles.
Gasperini has Roma pressing from the front with speed and tempo to their play from a back three, but Inter can be just as dangerous in a different way.
Gasperini’s Giallorossi are playing well
Chivu's men can play out of the back, but they can also press high at the right moments and have the structure to do a lot of damage to teams who overcommit to the game.
Roma have won three and drawn two of their last five in all competitions, so they are on a good run here and that includes a 4-0 away win at Lecce and a 2-1 scalp of Atalanta in Serie A 2026/2027.
Inter have also won four of their last five in all competitions, including a 3-2 win over Napoli in a home game of the Serie A 2026/2027 campaign, while they have one win and one defeat from two on the road.
Nerazzurri have edge in Rome
The Nerazzurri have a recent edge in this fixture, winning four of the last five and they may be able to find a way to win in this clash as well, although we're not taking on Roma in this one given their excellent start to the season.
As such, the slight odds-on for the hosts at 38/25 looks about right with Inter just behind them at 41/25 and the draw way too big at 12/5.
Both teams to score is a clear favourite at 57/100, but we will go with Under 2.5 goals at 11/10 as the underdog selection for this cagey clash.
