Inter Milan and Roma meet in a very important game this Sunday afternoon. Nerazzurri are after the title and are currently leveled with Napoli in the top spot of Serie A. Therefore, three points here are a must. On the other side, Roma chases the European stage and even has chances to reach the Champions League.

Inter is the favorite, but Roma can’t be underestimated because they play very good football under Claudio Ranieri. For more Serie A odds, follow this link.

Inter Milan VS Roma

Inter Milan

Inter Milan has 71 points, the same as Napoli. However, Nerazzurri is in a deep crisis because they didn’t win in the previous three events. After 2-2 against Bayern Munich, Inzaghi’s boys suffered back-to-back defeats in which they hadn’t scored a goal.

Overall, Inter’s form has been on a slight decline for a while, and this is just the culmination now. It appears that all of their focus has been shifted to the Champions League semis, where they meet Barcelona.

Regarding their results at home, the recent loss in Coppa Italia against AC Milan 0-3 was the first following 11 straight meetings. In between, Nerazzurri had 9 wins in a row. Thuram and Martinez combined 26 goals in Serie A, but they haven’t been that sharp lately.

AS Roma

Roma’s best striker is Artem Dovbyk, who has 11 goals so far. Since Claudio Ranieri took over the wheel Roma’s games are utterly inefficient. The previous five have ended with under 2.5 goals, with Ranieri’s handwork all over the place. The old Italian has been a genius for setting up slow, tactical formations.

Over the previous 14 games, Roma lost once, tied three times, and won 10 times, which is pretty impressive. They have been without a loss on the road in Serie A since mid-December when this unit failed to Como 2-0.

The thing with Roma now is that it stands near the goal, focusing on slowing the game and killing the tempo of the event. Ranieri perfected such an approach throughout his career, and if you all remember, Leicester played kinda like that.

Inter Milan VS AS Roma Head to Head

Inter was better in the first meeting of the year at the Olimpico in Rome, 0-1. Lautaro scored the only goal after exactly one hour of play.

Nerazzurri have won four games in a row against Il Lupi, keeping a clean sheet in three of them. They also have five triumphs in a row at home, not losing in the previous 8. Roma’s last victory in Milan was back in 2017.

Inter Milan VS AS Roma Predictions

Inter is slowing down but still has enough power to beat any team in Europe. Due to such inconsistency, we are moving away from picking the full-time winner in this event. It is too risky. On the other hand, betting on under 2.5 goals sounds more reasonable, and we believe this is a smart move. Roma and Ranieri won’t open but defend due to their playstyle, and Inter, too, won’t be keen to attack right away, yet be patient.

Both teams are under pressure, and you know that in such situations, Italians tend to be very, very careful, waiting for just one moment that later decides the game. Usually, all those events are inefficient.
