The Stadio Olimpico provides the backdrop to this mouthwatering top three clash in Serie A as 3rd placed Roma prepare for the visit of 2nd placed Inter Milan with both teams keen to further their Serie A title credentials.
Roma have maintained 3rd place in the Italian top flight thanks to winning their last three matches on the trot as they’ve picked up important wins against Cagliari, Sampdoria and Crotone while recent form has picked up for the Rome outfit overall, winning five of their last six matches.
Goals have also featured on a regular basis where Roma have been concerned as 12 of their 16 matches to date in this season’s Serie A campaign have produced three goals or more while results at the Stadio Olimpico have seen Roma put together an impressive 12-match unbeaten run.
Nine of these 12 matches have produced wins for the hosts but they’re expected to face one of their toughest challenges yet in the shape of Inter Milan, but nine of these 12 matches have also produced over 2.5 goals and this market looks appealing here.
Inter Milan continue to track their fierce rivals, AC Milan, who occupy top spot in Serie A but hold just a slender one-point lead over Antonio Conte’s side who are just waiting to pounce on any mistake that AC Milan make.
That said, Inter Milan themselves slipped up last time out in Serie A as their previous impressive eight-match winning streak was brought to an end in a 2-1 defeat away from home at Sampdoria, and the visitors will be desperate to avoid a repeat of that scoreline against Roma on Sunday.
Goals had also featured in Inter’s aforementioned winning streak with seven of their eight matches producing three goals or more and in fact, a total of 32 goals were plundered during this sequence so they too are no strangers to hitting the back of the net as well as conceding.
Five of Inter Milan’s eight matches away from home have also resulted in over 2.5 goals while the bigger picture shows that 11 of Inter’s last 16 matches away from home have been high-scoring affairs.
Previous meetings between Roma and Inter Milan have also produced plenty of goals with five of the last eight encounters resulting in over 2.5 goals.
