Roma v Inter Serie A preview

Roma take on Inter Milan in a Serie A game at the Stadio Olimpico on Saturday at 18:00 CET. The home side in 5th need the points to close the gap on 4th placed Atalanta who are six points ahead of them on 31 while Inter Milan, on 34 points, are two points off leaders Napoli and one behind AC Milan. Who will take the points in this one? 

Inter Milan come into this match in terrific form after winning their last three Serie A fixtures and four of their last 5. Those wins came against Udinese, Napoli, Venezia and Napoli while the draw was versus AC Milan. They also defeated Shakhtar in the Champions League to book their place in the last 1. Roma, on the other hand, have been more inconsistent. They have won two of their last five matches, but lost the other three. The most recent of those was the 1-0 defeat to Bologna. However, Roma have made their home a fortress and they have lost just one game there all season. 

Roma boast the likes of Chris Smalling, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Nicolo Zaniolo as well as former Chelsea player Tammy Abraham. However, Abraham will be suspended for this one after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season against Bologna, a decision he called "disgraceful". He has been Roma's top scorer this season with eight goals and with next highest scorer Lorenzo Pellegrini injured, the likes of Veretout and Mkhitaryan will have to step up to the mark. 

Inter have an array of talent at their disposal such as Argentinian international Lautaro Martinez, Joaquin Correa, Brozovic, Perisic and Milan Skriniar at the back. Alexis Sanchez, Edin Dzeko and the fiery Arturo Vidal even started their last match on the bench, a sign of the strength in depth they possess. Dzeko and Lautaro Martinez are their top scorers this season with 10 and eight goals respectively. 

As a result of the absence of key Roma players and Inter's tremendous form this season, Inter have a good chance of winning this one. As well as watching the match, why don't you have a bet yourself? On Betnero, there are plenty of different markets available to bet on such as match winner, correct score and who will be winning after a certain 10 minute interval. Last season's clash at the same venue ended in a 2-2 draw thanks to Gianluca Mancini's late equaliser for the hosts. Will the scoreline be repeated on Saturday?

The battle between Mourinho and Inzaghi's sides will be an exciting one and it is well worth watching. You could even have a bet on other Serie A matches such as AC Milan versus Salernitana or Napoli versus Atalanta as well. Whatever you decide to do, enjoy the match, please bet responsibly and good luck!
