AS Roma Form & Balance Check
The capitals are playing very inconsistently at the moment. After winning two games in a row against CFC Genoa and FC Torino, the Romans suffered a bitter 1-0 defeat at FC Bologna during the week. Jose Mourinho’s team dominated the game and had 57% possession, but simply failed to score in front of goal. This bitter defeat against a team of inferior quality like Bologna will surely have gnawed at Rome’s confidence.
Increasible offence
AS Roma have a highly talented attacker up front in Tammy Abraham, who could make a splash in the coming years. Jose Mourinho also has a top-class playmaker in Lorenzo Pellegrini, who is also a goal-scoring threat. However, Pellegrini will not be available against Inter due to injury. So far, the Romans have rarely been able to show their attacking qualities, scoring just 24 goals this season. In comparison, the tenth-placed Verona side have scored four goals more.
AS Roma facts & analysis
– They currently occupy fifth place in the table.
– Roma lost their last match against FC Bologna with 1:0
– The capitals have scored just 24 goals in 15 league games
Inter Form & Balance Check
Inter coach Simone Inzaghi clearly stands for attacking football. The ex-Lazio coach often directs his teams towards a fast and purposeful switching game. This style of play has allowed the reigning Italian champions to shine more than once this season: Brozovic, Martinez and Co. have always won the last three games by a two-goal margin. In addition, Inter goalkeeper Handanovic has kept a clean sheet three times in a row. As a result, the Nerazzurri’s form curve is pointing steeply upwards.
The second best defence in the league
As already mentioned, the fashionable city possess the best offence in the league (36 goals in 15 games). On top of that, Inter Milan also form the most defensively strong team in the Italian top flight after SSC Napoli, conceding just 15 goals. We assume that the Inter defence will be able to keep the Roman attackers away from their own goal as far as possible. In their last meeting, Milan conceded just one goal and ran out 3-1 winners.
Inter facts & analysis
– They are currently in third place in the table.
– Inter have won their last three league games
– The fashionable city recently celebrated a 2-0 home win over Spezia Calcio
Predicted line-up – last update on 2 December 2021
Rome will unfortunately have to do without their captain and playmaker Lorenzo Pellegrini. He will miss Roma for a few weeks due to a thigh strain. Since Inter Milan operate with a three-man defence, it is very realistic that Mourinho will also stay true to his 3-1-4-2 formation.
Inter Milan could make some changes. De Vrij is currently missing due to injury, which is why Skriniar will most likely occupy the central centre-back position. In addition, we expect Barella to return to the starting line-up. Inter are currently operating in their usual 3-5-2 formation.
