The Stadio Olimpico hosts a crucial early-season Serie A showdown on Saturday, as Roma welcome Inter Milan. This clash of styles pits Roma’s exceptional, watertight defense against Inter's free-scoring attack.
Roma, sitting second in the table, have built their strong start on defensive solidity, conceding a league-low two goals in six games. Their formidable goalkeeper, Mile Svilar, and the creativity of Paulo Dybala will be key against Inter.
Meanwhile, fourth-placed Inter have been prolific, netting 17 goals, the most in the league. Lautaro Martínez leads the line, supported by chief creator Federico Dimarco. Inter will be without the injured Marcus Thuram, potentially opening the door for a young striker like Francesco Pio Esposito.
