Roma vs Inter Milan Prediction

Roma have won three straight games in the league, so will be brimming with confidence. Veteran striker Edin Dzeko has been in fine form this season and has been linked with a move to Inter Milan.

He will be expected to produce the goods, alongside fellow attacker Henrikh Mkhitaryan.

Inter Milan, on the other hand, will be buoyed by the return of Romelu Lukaku. The Belgian has formed an excellent attacking partnership with Lautaro Martinez, and Conte will be relying on the two for goals.

Alexis Sanchez has been in good form since the restart, but unfortunately looks like he will have to contend with a bench role.

Prediction: Roma 0-1 Inter Milan
