Team News

Roma
Inter
  • Roma will be without a number of key players in midfield and attack, most notably Edin Dzeko.
  • With Lorenzo Pellegrini sidelined, 19-year-old Nicolò Zaniolo will start against his former club after leaving Inter for Roma in the summer.
  • Robin Olsen will return in goal after missing out last weekend.
  • Marcelo Brozovic missed last weekend's victory through suspension but is free to start against Roma.
  • Radja Nainggolan didn't even make it to half time before needing to come off in Inter's 1-0 defeat away to Tottenham on Wednesday. He will not play here.
  • Inter do not have a midweek match after Sunday's game against Roma and Luciano Spalletti should field his best XI.

Prediction

  • Roma qualified for the knockout phase of the Champions League despite losing to Real Madrid in midweek, but things are not going well for the Italian side at the moment. They are seventh in the league and nine points off Inter.
  • Inter missed the chance to join Roma in the next round of the Champions League after suffering a late defeat to Tottenham on Wednesday. Unlike Roma, they are in a strong position in the league having won five of their last six.
  • These two sides were expected to challenge for the same positions this season but Inter are currently well ahead of their rivals. Given Roma's absences this weekend, Inter should at least maintain their lead over Roma in the table.

  • What a game!! Inter did quite an inside job burdening Roma with Juan Jesus and Davide Santon.

  • Great game. Will accept result given injuries. Need 10+ points against Cag, Genoa, Juve, Sass and Parma before January and then Roma must, must, must buy a good centre half to partner Manolas.

  • Roma without six players: Dzeko, De Rossi, El shaarawy, Pellegrini, Coric. Under starts from the bench after the disappointment with Real Madrid; Di francesco will call players from spring to deal with the unavailability. Rome will play with Zaniolo, very young player ... I think the Inter takes advantage of the opportunity...Good luck :)

  • Daje Roma, although Inter are definite favorites here. Predicting a 2-1 win for Inter.

  • 1-2
