Match preview
Top-of-the-table Serie A action arrives as leaders AS Roma host second-placed Inter, with both sides carrying flawless records of four wins from four matches into this round five showdown. Roma have impressed at both ends of the pitch, scoring 12 goals while conceding just once, led by D. Malen who has already registered six goals in the opening weeks.
Inter travel to the capital matching Roma on 12 points, boasting an attack that has generated 13 goals across four league fixtures. While the visitors have been prolific going forward, they have shown vulnerability at the back by conceding six goals in domestic play, keeping only one clean sheet so far in Serie A.
Head-to-head history heavily favours the Nerazzurri, who have won eight of the last ten meetings between these clubs, including each of their last four visits to Roma. With both attacks operating at high efficiency and key absentees on both sides, this encounter presents a competitive test of each team's perfect start.
