Roma Team News
So, Roma defeated Udinese and Venezia this season. That's it. They're coming off a 1-0 defeat at Elsfborg that was followed with a 1-1 at Monza. When you watch Roma on TV you'll notice that the team is much worse than it used to be under Mourinho, with a short period under De Rossi when everything went well.
But then Lukaku left, De Rossi couldn't turn the tide anymore, and now Juric is here to try to salvage the team. It just doesn't seem to be working. Roma's limit at this point is to barely manage to beat Venezia on Stadio Olimpico. That's it.
Inter Team News
Inter scored ten goals in their last three matches in all competitions after losing the derby against AC Milan. They seem angry, especially as they've conceded the top of the Serie A table and are now third.
This team has certainly regressed a bit compared to the last season, mostly because they failed to add any new players and the old ones are getting old, and there's no substitute forwards anymore either. So you can expect Inter to get a bad result a bit more often than usual.
Probable Lineups
Roma (3-4-2-1): Svilar - Mancini, Ndicka, Hermoso - Celik, Kone, Cristanto, Angelino - Pellegrini, Dybala - Dovbyk. Coach Juric.
Inter (3-5-2): Sommer - Pavard, Acerbi, Bastoni - Darmian, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco - Thuram, Lautaro. Coach S.Inzaghi.
Coach Juric is still attempting to make Dybaala an offensive midfielder and is still waiting for Dovbyk to prove he's a starting forward. Inter will use the same old lineup.
The Betting Market
You can get 1.85 on Inter to win the derby, and 1.80 on the match to have three goals or more. It's a matter of personal preference mostly, as both bets will likely go through.
The Betting Verdict
In some better times for Roma we'd bet on them to find the net here, but their offense has been absolutely toothless of late. This is why we prefer the option that says Inter will get back on track in a match they're motivated to win. Even in the worst slumps, Inter performs in derbies and wins them more easily than we expected.
