As Roma vs Inter: Preview, Free tip & Prediction

03.12.2021 08:00

Saturday's programme of the 16th round of Italian top-flight football features a closely watched match when home side As Roma welcome visitors from Milan to their stadium.

Background information, news and team form

Despite the fluctuating form, As Roma maintains fifth place with 25 points. However, with Fiorentina and Juventus breathing down its neck, Jose Mourinho's charges should start doing something about their performance. During the week, Roma travelled to Bologna, where they lost 1-0 and Jose Mourinho's charges recorded their third loss in the last 5 league games. Overall, it was the 12th away defeat in the calendar year 2021, the worst result since 1950. The home advantage is probably not playing into the hands of the home team, as the Giallorossi has managed only one win against Torino in their last 3 matches. Inter, unlike AS Roma, has started to do well in the last few rounds and Simone Inzaghi's charges are starting to erase the deficit from their poor start to the season. The defending champion of the Scudetto from last season has reduced the lead over Napoli to just 2 points, and the next game will be crucial for Inter to put pressure on the leaders Napoli and rivals Ac Milan. Inter have managed to win 4 of their last 5 matches, including a thrilling shootout with Napoli which ended in a 3-2 win for Inter. Moreover, Inter has managed to reach the knockout stage of the Champions League after 9 years and although they are facing a duel with the famous Real Madrid, the Italian coach's charges can fully concentrate on this duel with the rival from the eternal city.
