Inter Milan vs. AS Roma
In Italy will host the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia next week. There are still some top Serie A teams involved, so we can expect an exciting round. The first match will be a direct duel between Inter Milan and AS Roma on Tuesday. Kick-off is at 21:00 at the Giuseppe Meazza in Milan, and the hosts are the favourites. Our prediction for this match can be found in the following Inter vs Roma tip.
In Serie A, Inter are currently on course to defend their title as reigning champions. With 53 points, however, the Milanese have only a one-point lead over the two pursuers Napoli and Milan, but still have a game in hand. Roma, on the other hand, are in seventh place and are fighting, among other things, against city rivals Lazio for a place in international business. However, it’s more likely to come down to the Conference League or Europa League, with the Champions League already a full six points away.

Inter Form & Balance Check
The Milanese have been in excellent form of late. Prior to their recent match against city rivals AC Milan, Inter remained unbeaten for eight games, winning seven of them. In the league, the reigning champions thus regained the lead in the standings, but it remains an exciting title race in Serie A. However, the Milan derby at the weekend was a setback for Inter, who took a 1-0 lead through former Bundesliga player Perisic. But a brace from Olivier Giroud turned the game in Milan’s favour.
Thrilling round of 16 tie against Empoli
In the cup season so far, Inter had to face FC Empoli in the round of 16. In this duel, an exciting exchange of blows developed, which was only decided in extra time. Alexis Sanchez opened the scoring for Inter, but Empoli turned it around with a goal from Bajrami and an own goal from Radu. It was only in stoppage time that Ranocchia scored to equalise again and save Inter from going into extra time. It was then Sensi who scored the celebrated 3-2 winner to send Inter through to the next round.
Inter facts & analysis
– 1st place in Serie A
– Last lost 1:2 against AC Milan
– Previously gone 8 games without defeat, including 7 wins
Roma form & balance check
AS Roma are playing a rather mixed season so far. Under José Mourinho, things have been going really well at times, but the capital has had big problems so far, especially in the important games against the strong teams. Roma are currently unbeaten in four games and had three wins in a row before the recent 0-0 draw against CFC Genoa. Before this phase, however, the team showed its other side and lost the two games against Juventus and AC Milan.
Brief wobble against Lecce
In the round of 16 of the Coppa Italia, the Romans faced second division side US Lecce. As against many weaker opponents, AS managed a win here, but had to digest a shock and then prove morale. The underdogs actually took the lead in Rome through Calabresi, but Roma rallied and equalised through Kumbulla. After the break, the capital remained in control, Abraham and Shomurodov securing a 3-1 win for Roma and a place in the next round.
Roma facts & analysis

– Last played 0-0 against CFC Genoa

Predicted line-up – last updated 7 Feb 2022
We expect Inter with the same starting line-up as in the top match against Milan. However, winter newcomer and international Robin Gosens is still injured and has to wait for his debut. José Mourinho is also likely to field a similar first eleven. Other options for the Romans include Vina, El-Shaarawy, Afena-Gyan or Veretout.
