Roma and Inter Milan set to lock horns in Serie A blockbuster

Sunday’s Serie A action closes out with a mouth-watering showdown between Roma and Inter Milan at the Stadio Olimpico.

One of the most heavily expected fixtures available on Serie A live streams pits two familiar foes against each other for the second time in 2024.

Roma found themselves on the receiving end of a 4-2 scoreline on this ground in February.

Interestingly, that was former manager Daniele De Rossi’s first defeat in charge of the Giallorossi.

De Rossi’s successor, Ivan Juric, will be out to avoid that fate and maintain his unbeaten league start at the helm (W2, D1).

However, the task at hand is nothing short of Herculean.

Roma’s Mini-Revival

Roma had won their first two Serie A games under Juric before squandering a second-half lead in a 1-1 draw at Monza on the stroke of the international break.

But they can take heart from registering a 100% success ratio in home league outings under the Croatian head coach.

That record is under imminent threat here, with Roma bidding to defy a disastrous run of just one win from their last 14 encounters against Inter (D6, L7).

Free-scoring home form could come in handy.

The hosts come into proceedings having netted in 24 consecutive home matches – their longest such run since September 2017.

Resurgent Champions

Inter posted back-to-back 3-2 league wins right before the international break to close the gap on Serie A leaders Napoli to only two points.

Marcus Thuram emerged as the Nerazzurri hero in their last top-flight contest against Torino.

Wanted by Paris Saint-Germain via Calciomercato, the French forward bagged his first Serie A hat-trick to take his seasonal tally to seven goals.

Thuram’s scintillating form may not save Simone Inzaghi’s team unless they address growing defensive issues.

Indeed, the reigning Scudetto holders have conceded precisely two goals in their last three league outings.
