Competition | Italian Serie A |
|---|---|
Match Date | Saturday 19 September 2026 |
Match Time | 17:00 UK time |
Venue (City, Stadium) | Rome, Stadio Olimpico |
This is a proper heavyweight clash at the Stadio Olimpico, with Roma and Inter Milan meeting on matchday five level at the summit of Serie A and outright top spot on the line.
Roma arrive with a perfect record and 12 goals scored across their opening four fixtures. Malen has been the standout, already firing home six goals in that spell.
Inter match them stride for stride, having also won all four and racked up 13 goals. They are the only other side left in the table with a spotless start to the campaign.
History points the visitors' way. Inter have won each of their last five away matches against Roma in all competitions, so the giallorossi have plenty to overturn here.
Roma vs Inter Milan Form
Roma are flying, having won their last nine Serie A matches and scored at least two goals in each of them. They have kept a clean sheet in five of their last six league outings too, so this is a stubborn, direct side. Malen is the man in form up top, with six goals in four appearances leading the line.
Inter are every bit as dangerous, unbeaten in their last 14 Serie A matches and scoring two or more in 10 of their last 12. Their attack has been sharing the load, and Marcus Thuram has attempted three or more shots in each of his last three league outings. Lautaro Martínez leads the front two alongside him.

Manu Koné returns in midfield alongside Cristante, while up front Soulé is favoured over Rodrigo Mora to partner Paulo Dybala behind Malen.

Dimarco returns on the left having recovered from a knee issue, and Diouf covers the right with Spence unavailable.

Roma vs Inter Milan Talking Points
This is a genuine clash of titans, with Gian Piero Gasperini's Roma and reigning champions Inter, now under Cristian Chivu, the only two sides still boasting a perfect start. Roma's pressing has been outstanding, leading Serie A in ball recoveries in the final third, while Inter's attack has spread the goals around with nine different scorers already. Inter's away record in this fixture and their unbeaten run give them the edge, but Roma's home crowd of over 60,000 will fancy their side to keep the run going. Something has to give at the top.
