AS Roma vs Inter Milan – Predicted lineup and team news

AS Roma and Inter Milan, the two leading teams in the current Serie A standings, will meet in a major top-of-the-table contest at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome on Saturday. The match will be the final fixture for both sides before the upcoming international break.

Roma will enter this important encounter in outstanding domestic form. Gian Piero Gasperini’s team has made a perfect start to its Serie A campaign, winning each of its first four league matches. The Giallorossi began the season with back-to-back 4-0 victories against Fiorentina and Lecce. They then secured a hard-fought 2-1 win over Atalanta before recording a composed 2-0 success against Torino. Roma’s only setback so far came in Europe, where they were held to a 1-1 draw by Fenerbahçe.

AS Roma team news

The home side goes into tonight’s match with a largely fit squad, leaving Gasperini with several strong selection options.

Roma has received a major boost in defence because Wesley and Evan Ndicka have both returned to full training. The pair are expected to come straight back into the starting XI for this crucial meeting.

Manu Koné is also available for a potential starting role in midfield. The France international has regained his fitness after making a short substitute appearance against Torino last week. He could partner Bryan Cristante in the centre of the pitch.

Mario Hermoso remains a serious doubt after suffering an ankle sprain during a training session in midweek.

Roma’s attacking department looks especially dangerous. Donyell Malen, currently the leading scorer in Serie A, is expected to play as the main striker.

He will receive support from the creative quality of Paulo Dybala and the attacking talent of Matías Soulé, giving the hosts plenty of threat in the final third.
