Inter Milan vs Roma prediction, preview, team news and more | Serie A 2020-21
Inter Milan host Roma in Serie A on Wednesday as Paulo Fonseca's side continue their march towards Europa League qualification.
Inter have nothing left to play for this season, as Antonio Conte's side were crowned Serie A champions last week. The Nerazzurri will, however, be looking to continue their incredible 19-game unbeaten streak in the league and end their campaign on a high.
Roma, on the other hand, still have a long way to go to ensure their place in the UEFA Europa League qualification round. The Giallorossi are currently seventh in the table, only two points ahead of Sassuolo with three games left this season.
Fonseca's side finally look like they are out of their slump, winning their last two games after a woeful six-game winless streak across all competitions. But beating Inter will still be a huge task, given the difference in quality between the two sides.
Both sides like playing attacking football, and that will make for an exciting matchup on Wednesday.
Inter Milan vs Roma Head-to-Head
Incredibly, the head-to-head record between the two sides is completely even, with five draws in their last five league meetings.
The two sides drew 2-2 in the reverse fixture earlier this season.
