Overview
- The sides will face one another at the Stadio Olimpico on Saturday, 19 September, each on 12 points after four Serie A wins.
- Roma named a full 23-man squad for the game, while Inter travelled without John Stones, Hakan Çalhanoğlu and Djed Spence because of injuries.
- The match pits Inter’s league-leading attack, which has scored 13 goals, against Roma’s stingy defence, which has conceded just once this season.
- This will be the 187th Serie A meeting between the clubs, the most-played fixture in Italy, with Inter leading the head-to-head 81 wins to Roma’s 51 across 540 total goals.
- Reporting from Goal and Gazzetta dello Sport shows Roma have outspent Inter €211m to €186m across the last two transfer windows, a gap linked in coverage to differing ownership approaches that could affect squad moves in January.
