AS Roma take on the visitors Inter in the round 8 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Sunday, October 20th at Stadio Olimpico (Rome).
Roma raises more questions once again. Last season, the "Giallorossi" finally parted ways with Mourinho. Despite winning the Conference League, he failed to achieve the primary goal of bringing the "Wolves" back to the Champions League—neither through progress in Serie A nor by replicating his Manchester United success by winning the Europa League. In 2023, Roma reached the Europa League final but lost on penalties. Additionally, De Rossi lost the race for 5th place in Serie A to a sensational Bologna. However, Daniele switched from interim coach to a long-term contract and was given new signings like Soule, Dovbyk, and Hummels. Despite this, after four matches without a win (three draws and a home loss to Empoli), the management sacked the young coach, sparking internal conflicts within the club, protests from fans, and confusion among the players. The new coach, Ivan Jurić, started with a couple of wins in Serie A, but their Europa League campaign began with a 1-1 draw against Athletic and a loss to Elfsborg. A draw with Monza also does little to boost the morale of this ambitious capital club.

Inter convincingly reclaimed the Scudetto in the last campaign. By spring, it was clear that no one would challenge them for first place. However, despite their on-field success, their financial situation hasn't improved. As a result, the Chinese owners are transferring control of the club to creditors from American banks. Nonetheless, Inter bought Frattesi outright and acquired Josep Martinez—although this was a puzzling move, given they spent €12-13 million on a goalkeeper who has only served as Sommer's backup. On the other hand, they brought in experienced free agents like Zielinski and Taremi. Notably, Inter dropped points right away in a draw with Genoa. They also shared points with Monza and Manchester City in the Champions League, and lost the Milan Derby. However, since then, they've won three consecutive matches, scoring at least three goals in each.
Inter has won all of the last three encounters between these two clubs. Roma continues to look unconvincing, even after their coaching change. We recommend betting on the visitors from Milan to secure the win.
Prediction for the match: Inter to win.
