Inter Milan have their mojo back; they will be hosting AS Roma in the Serie A right on the back of a 3-0 win over AC Milan which earned them a slot in the Coppa Italia final. Inter head into this game placed second in the league standings with 69 points while Roma are fifth on 58 points. Defending champions Inter will hope to scale to the top of the table with a win here, as they are just two points below leaders Milan, who have played a game more. The win over Milan marked a fourth straight victory for Inter and third clean sheet in four. They are unbeaten in the last 10 matches now and with seven clean sheets in 10, the confidence levels are definitely high. In their last five matches, Inter have scored 10 goals and they are unbeaten in their last 10 meetings with Roma, going into this game with three straight wins over the visitors.
AS Roma needed a late Stephen El Shaarawy goal to secure a point in a 1-1 draw with Napoli in their last game. They will head to Milano looking to build on a three-game unbeaten run and having scored in each of their last five matches will be a good starting point. Napoli however, have managed just two clean sheets in their last five matches, and they’ve scored more than a goal in two of the five matches. Three of their last five matches have produced over 2.5 goals and Roma will be bothered more with their away form, having managed just one win in the last four. Defensively, they haven’t been very steady in their away matches in Serie A, managing just three clean sheets in the last 10. However, they’ve failed to score in just one of their last 10 away league matches.
AS Roma will be the underdogs going into this game; they needed a late goal in their last game to draw with Napoli and they know the task is harder here. Inter Milan are on a good run and after their big win over AC Milan, their confidence levels will be up. They’ve been putting up great defensive and attacking performances and we will back them to win with a clean sheet.
