We have another full round of fixtures to look forward to in the Italian Serie A this weekend. One of which takes place on Sunday the 19th of July as Roma welcome Inter Milan to the Stadio Olimpico.
The hosts begin the weekend in 5th place knowing the best they can achieve is Europa League qualification whereas the visitors still have a chance to win the title this season.
Roma come into the match having defeated Hellas Verona 2-1 at home on Wednesday night. Both goals came before half time and although Hellas Verona got a goal back early in the second half Roma held out for the victory. That result means Roma have won each of their last 3 games with the additional victories coming against Parma at home and Brescia away.
There have been plenty of goals scored in recent Roma matches and they have seen over 2.5 goals in 10 of their last 12 Serie A games. During those 12 matches, Roma have managed to score 2 or more goals 8 times and they will be hoping for something similar in this game.
Trends show Roma have won 4 of their last 5 home matches in Serie A and both teams have scored in 3 of their last 4 at the Stadio Olimpico. Each of their last 3 wins at home have been by the same scoreline of 2-1.
Inter Milan travel to the capital having defeated bottom of the table SPAL 4-0 away from home. It was a match they were expected to win and Inter Milan did so in style including 3 goals in the second half. It was their second straight victory in Serie A following the 3-1 win at the San Siro against Torino.
Inter Milan have been extremely difficult to beat in Serie A and their victory on Thursday night means they have lost only 3 of their last 26 league games. Much like their opponents, Inter Milan have seen plenty of goals and both teams scored in 12 of their last 16 Serie A matches. There have also been over 2.5 goals scored in Inter Milan's last 8 league games, so they have been entertaining to watch.
Inter Milan are undefeated in their last 3 away Serie A matches but they have defeated AS Roma in just one of their last 9 away meetings.
Looking ahead to the team news and Roma have injury problems at the back with Antonio Mirante, Chris Smalling, Federico Fazio and Juan Jesus on the treatment table. They also have doubts over the fitness of Davide Santon and Patrik Schick.
Inter Milan are definitely without the injured trio of Matias Vecino, Nicolò Barella and Stefano Sensi.
This has the makings of being an attacking game of football with plenty of goals. Inter Milan may not have the best recent record against Roma but that could begin to change in this match. Inter Milan could come away with maximum points, with both teams scoring.
