[2] ROMA — INTER [4] SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18, 9:45 p.m. STADIUM OLYMPICO, ROME. CHIEF REFEREE – DAVIDE MASSA. LIVE ON MEGOGO
The first match after the national team break on Saturday night will give fans of Italian football the central duel of the next round of Serie A, in which Roma will try to defeat Inter at the Stadio Olimpico for the first time since 2016. The Giallorossi have conceded to the Nerazzurri in all four of their past matches in Rome, failing to please the capital fans with their goals three times.
Failures in matches against Inter are not unusual for Roma manager Gian Piero Gasperini. At the head of Atalanta, he led them to victory over the Milan giants only twice in all competitions, with six draws and 12 defeats. The Nerazzurri are unbeaten against Gasperini’s side since November 2018 and a point today will extend their unbeaten run to 16 games.
With the best attack in the 2025/26 Italian championship (17 goals), Christian Kivu’s team will be hoping to cope with the best defense of the tournament (two goals conceded). Now Roma feels confident in defense, but in attack under a flurry of critics one by one find themselves Artem Dovbyk and Evan Ferguson. The Giallorossi have failed to score twice in four home matches this season and that’s when they lost (0:1).
Roma is hardly ready to win over Inter, but the capital club is capable of avoiding defeat. According to the bookmakers, Kivu’s wards are the favorites of the confrontation. So, you can bet on the victory of the guests with a coefficient of 2.25, while the potential success of the home team is estimated at an indicator of 3.45. The probability of a draw is represented by a coefficient of 3.25.
INDICATIVE COMPOSITIONS Roma: Svilar — Celik, Mancini, Ndika — Vesli, Kone, Kristante, Tsimikas — Sule, Pellegrini — Dovbyk
Inter: Sommer — Akanji, Acherbi, Bastoni — Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco — Bonny, Martinez
