AS Roma vs Inter

The Serie A fixture between Roma and Internazionale has seen 532 goals scored, making it the highest-scoring match in the competition's history. Should they score in this game, Inter will become the first team to net 300 goals against a single opponent in the Italian top-flight (currently 299).

Roma won their most recent league match against Inter on April 27 at the San Siro, after having won just one of their previous 15 Serie A matches against the Nerazzurri (D6 L8); the Giallorossi could win back-to-back matches against the Milanese club in the competition for the first time since 2016/17.

Inter are unbeaten in their last eight away league matches against Roma (W5 D3), winning all four of the most recent ones. They have never gone nine consecutive away games without defeat against the Giallorossi in Serie A (also an eight-game run between 1933 and 1940). Roma's last win at the Stadio Olimpico against the Nerazzurri in the tournament dates back to October 2, 2016 (2-1 under Luciano Spalletti, with Frank de Boer at Inter).

Roma have won five of their six league games this season (L1); the Giallorossi could win at least six of their first seven games of the season for only the fifth time in their Serie A history, after 2014/15, 2013/14, 2000/01 and 1983/84 – in these four previous seasons, the Giallorossi have always finished in the top two in the league table.

Gian Piero Gasperini has set his record for both points (15) and goals conceded (just two) in the first six games of a single season as a Serie A manager. Furthermore, before this season, only in 1989/90 had Napoli and Roma found themselves alone together at the top of the table after at least six games played in the history of the Serie A with a single round-robin format (since 1929/30).
