🟡🔴 Roma vs Inter Milan 🔵⚫
AS Roma and Inter will meet this Saturday in one of the first major clashes of the 2026-27 Serie A season. Both arrive at the Stadio Olimpico with a perfect 12 points from four matches and the opportunity to take sole possession of the top spot in the standings.
The match also brings together two projects that have produced very different performances at the start of the campaign, but exactly the same result: winning.
Gian Piero Gasperini’s Roma has built its strong start around balance and comes into the match after a 2-0 victory over Torino, while Cristian Chivu’s Inter has shown an impressive ability to survive difficult situations and is coming off a comeback from 2-0 down to defeat Udinese 5-3.
Rome is ready for the first major test of the season.
Dybala and Malen Threaten the Champions
Roma enters the match with four consecutive victories in Serie A and an attacking partnership that is beginning to take center stage.
Paulo Dybala and Donyell Malen were decisive in the latest victory over Torino. The Argentine intercepted the mistake that led to the opening goal, while Malen took advantage of the opportunity to break the deadlock before Niccolò Pisilli sealed the victory in stoppage time.
Gasperini highlighted after the match how naturally Dybala and Malen understand each other in attack, but that connection will now face a much more demanding test.
Standing in their way are the reigning Italian champions.
Inter has won its first four matches and arrives at the Olimpico after a spectacular comeback against Udinese. Carlos Augusto, Nicolò Barella, Marcus Thuram, Francesco Pio Esposito and Ange-Yoan Bonny scored in the 5-3 victory after the Nerazzurri fell two goals behind.
Roma Lineup
Lautaro Martínez Meets Roma Again
One of the biggest names to watch will be Lautaro Martínez.
The Argentine striker has scored three goals in his last four Serie A matches against Roma and was particularly decisive in the most recent meeting between the two sides.
Inter won 5-2 at San Siro on April 5, with Lautaro scoring twice and Marcus Thuram adding another goal while also providing two assists.
History also favors the Nerazzurri.
Roma and Inter have met 186 times in Serie A, with the Milan side recording 81 victories, the Giallorossi winning 51 and the teams sharing 54 draws. Saturday's match will be their 187th meeting, once again making this the most-played fixture in the history of Italy's top flight.
But the past will carry little weight once the ball starts rolling.
Both teams are perfect. Both want to prove their starts are no coincidence. And only one can finish the weekend with the opportunity to stand alone at the top of the table.
