Inter Milan – AS Roma
Top spot against comeback: At the Giuseppe Meazza, league leaders Inter face AS Roma, who are unbeaten in 17 league games. Both teams are under pressure – Inter share first place with Napoli, while Roma are suddenly knocking on the Champions League door in seventh place.
The Nerazzurri have won four of the last five direct encounters (most recently 1-0), but Roma’s second-half defense – only eight goals conceded – travels with confidence. Inter are missing the suspended Bastoni and Mkhitaryan as well as striker Thuram; Roma are without Nelsson and Dybala, but captain Pellegrini is fit again.
The bottom line is that Milan need a home win to shake off Napoli, while Roma would keep their European hopes alive with just one point.

Inter Milan form & record check
Inter have won only two of their last five competitive games; the 0-3 defeat in the cup derby against Milan and the 0-1 loss in Bologna have visibly gnawed away at their confidence. It is striking that Inzaghi’s team conceded at least one goal after the break in each of these games.
Lautaro Martínez remains the team’s lifeline in attack with 23 goals this season, but without Thuram and Mkhitaryan, the team lacks its usual punch. At least Dumfries and Zielinski are available as substitutes. Inter are level on points with Napoli in the table, so nerves are sure to be on edge.
Inzaghi sticks with 3-5-2 but has to reshuffle: Correa starts up front alongside Lautaro, Carlos Augusto occupies the left flank, and Bisseck replaces Bastoni. Barella and Calhanoglu dictate play in the center, while Acerbi and Pavard are tasked with holding the defense together. Dumfries and Zielinski are available as substitutes.
AS Roma form & record check
Since Ranieri took over, Roma have been unbeaten in the league (17-0-0 is an impressive record). The last five games ended three times 1-0 and twice 1-1 – always efficient, rarely spectacular.
Defensively, the team is a bulwark; offensively, Shomurodov’s pinpricks are enough. Despite the absence of Dybala, the basic formation remains flexible, with Pisilli potentially bringing additional stability in Milan.
Ranieri is sticking with his 3-4-2-1 formation: Svilar – Mancini, Ndicka, Smalling; Çelik, Cristante, Koné, Angeliño; Soulé, Baldanzi; Shomurodov. Pisilli remains an option as a defensive wild card, while Dybala and Nelsson are still out.
