AS Roma vs Inter

Roma host Inter at the Stadio Olimpico on 19 September with both teams unbeaten after three rounds, Roma top on goal difference ahead of the defending champions. It's an early test for Gian Piero Gasperini's rebuilt Giallorossi against Cristian Chivu's Inter, with a win offering a psychological edge in a title race already tightly bunched at the top. Both teams arrive in red-hot form. Roma needed a stunning finish to beat Atalanta 2-1, Ederson's early second-half opener answered by Mario Hermoso's 90th-minute equalizer and Matias Soulé's stoppage-time winner, with Paulo Dybala playing at his best level in years, according to Gasperini. Inter matched that resilience, coming from 2-0 down to beat Napoli 3-2 as Lautaro Martinez scored twice, including a stoppage-time winner, after Chivu's halftime changes turned the game around. History leans toward Inter, winners of eight of the last ten meetings, though Roma have shown they can grind out results under pressure this season. Our prediction: 2-2
