With only a handful of Serie A matchdays left in the 2021/22 campaign, Inter Milan vs Roma on Saturday afternoon has to be one of the tastier affairs remaining.

First, this game is simply oozing with storylines. Of course, everyone will be talking about Jose Mourinho returning once again to his old stomping grounds. The Portuguese manager has seen defeat in his two other matches against Inter Milan, and will try to redeem himself at the San Siro. Conversely, Edin Dzeko faces off against his old club, Roma, for the fifth time in his career.

Nonetheless, this match has larger implications than just a few homecomings. Inter Milan are in hot pursuit of the Scudetto, and a win on Saturday could leave the title race in their hands. For Roma, they desperately need points if they want to edge out Juventus for Italy’s last Champions League spot.

Over/Under and Spread

Furthermore, goals are expected in this match as the over on 2.5 total goals sits at -141. This is to be expected though as Inter Milan have the best attack in Serie A. Moreover, in the last five head-to-head meetings between these sides, this pick has hit 80% of the time, with an average of 3.4 goals per match.

Also, there is some good value in getting Roma to cover the +0.5 spread with odds of +133.

Inter Milan vs Roma Prediction

Regardless, Inter Milan have been ruthless against Roma this season. In fact, across two matches, Simone Inzaghi’s side has an aggregate score of 5-0 against Mourinho’s La Lupa.

In the reverse Serie A fixture, Inter Milan controlled 66% of the possession, while Roma only managed to get one shot on target.

Inter Milan vs Roma Serie A Statistics

This is a massive credit to Inter’s backline who are a true defensive unit that not only smothers attackers, but also forces them into difficult shots. To make things worse, Lautaro Martinez did not even come off the bench that day.

Now, Inter are as hot as ever, winning four consecutive matches across the Serie A and Coppa Italia, conceding just once in the process. Il Biscione also has the best home record in Serie A, with their only two losses coming at the hands of AC Milan and Sassuolo.

Roma Unbeaten in 12 Serie A Matches

However, in all fairness, this is an improved Roma side under Mourinho. The Giallorossi are only four points off their point total from last season and have put together a remarkable streak of 12 games unbeaten in Serie A play.

Again, Inter Milan have an extremely stingy defense. But, the probable attacking trio of Tammy Abraham, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Lorenzo Pellegrini is one that is very threatening. Together the three players have 53 overall goal contributions across all competitions.

Yet, for this game to go in their favor, Chris Smalling and Rui Patricio have to put in massive shifts. Roma’s back half has been their weak point this year, which is evident in their last two run-outs vs this Inter side.
