Inter Milan will be aiming to extend their lead at the top of the Serie A standings as they host Roma on Sunday. Roma could make things difficult having rediscovered their form in recent weeks but the Nerazzurri are looking confident at the moment and should have the upper hand at home.
Inter Milan are looking like serious business this season as they have lost just once across all competitions this season. They are one point clear at the top of the Serie A standings and with second placed AC Milan facing a difficult trip to Napoli, that lead could be extended.
The Nerazzurri picked up a 3-2 victory over Torino last time out in the Serie A with Marcus Thuram and Lautaro Martinez both on target. They followed that up with a 2-1 victory over RB Salzburg in the Champions League in midweek.
Driven by the impressive Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram, Inter Milan boast the best attack in Serie A and have scored in every game so far. However, Simone Inzaghi’s men are often unconvincing at the back and have kept just one clean sheet in their last five home matches across all competitions.
Roma picked up a 1-0 victory over Monza last tome out in the Serie A with Stephan El Shaarawy’s injury time effort proving the difference. They followed that up with a 2-0 victory over Slavia Prague in the Europa League with Edoardo Bove and Romelu Lukaku getting the goals.
Both results highlight Roma’s recent resurgence as they have now won their last five matches across all competitions. Sitting seventh on the Serie A standings, Jose Mourinho’s men will need to maintain that consistency if they are to challenge for a Champions League place.
Although things have been good for Roma lately, they have only claimed one win on their Serie A travels this season. However that win came in their previous fixture on the road as they eased to a 4-1 victory at Cagliari.
