Serie A’s two perfect starts meet at Stadio Olimpico. Roma and Inter have collected 12 points apiece, turning this early showdown into a test of the hosts’ title credentials.

Roma Pair Six Malen Goals With Defensive Control

Roma have conceded twice in five competitive matches this season, giving their attack room to decide games. Donyell Malen has six league goals, while Paulo Dybala has four assists. Their combination will test Akanji centrally, with Inter already conceding 1.5 goals per league match.

Three anticipated returns strengthen Gasperini’s options: Wesley, Koné, Ndicka. Wesley restores pace after a knock, while Koné adds midfield strength following knee discomfort. Ndicka’s recovery from illness offers defensive choice, although Balerdi helped secure Monday’s clean sheet.

AS Roma predicted lineup vs Inter Milan (3-4-2-1): Svilar; Mancini, Ndicka, Hermoso; Molina, Cristante, Koné, Wesley; Soulé, Dybala; Malen.

Inter’s Comebacks Hide Growing Defensive Problems

Inter have conceded seven goals across their last three competitive matches. Lautaro Martínez and Marcus Thuram have two league goals apiece. Consecutive domestic comebacks from 2-0 down nevertheless expose problems when opponents attack early.

Two injury concerns weaken continuity: Çalhanoğlu’s adductor strain removes a passing outlet, while John Stones is doubtful after leaving Monday’s match. Expect Zieliński to direct midfield and Pavard to join the defence. Federico Dimarco’s 20-minute return against Udinese restores an important source of crosses.

Inter Milan predicted lineup vs AS Roma (3-5-2): Josep Martínez; Pavard, Akanji, Bastoni; Diouf, Barella, Zieliński, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Thuram, Lautaro Martínez.
