AS Roma host Inter on 19 September 2026 at 19:00 in Serie A's fifth round. Roma have not lost a home league match this season, winning five of their last ten at the Olimpico. Inter arrive unbeaten in ten Serie A games, with four consecutive wins to start the campaign and 12 points from five matches. The visitors sit second in the table with a goal difference of 13:6.
Roma's defensive record stands out: they concede an average of 0.25 goals per game, the best in the league. In nine of their last ten home matches, opponents have managed no more than five corners. Inter, however, scored five goals against Udinese last time out after trailing 0:2, and they lead Serie A with 3.25 goals per match. In their last ten league games, Inter have landed at least five shots on target in every fixture.
Form and H2H
Roma beat Torino 2:0 away in round four through goals from Doniëll Malen and Nicolò Pisilli, controlling the match without allowing clear chances. They have scored at least two goals in nine of their last ten Serie A games. Opponents have managed no more than four shots on target against Roma in those ten matches.
Inter's 5:3 win over Udinese showcased their attacking intensity. They executed ten corners in that game, continuously loading the opposition box. The head-to-head record between these sides shows Roma with a strong advantage: they won 4:0 in February 2012 and 3:1 in September 2012, with Inter's only draw coming 1:1 in January 2013.
Best bet
Roma with handicap (0). Roma have not lost in ten home league matches this season, and Inter's slight favouritism in the market undervalues the hosts. A draw returns the stake while a Roma win lands the bet. At 1xBet, Roma handicap (0) trades at 2.8, offering value against Inter's 2.67 for their own handicap (0). Roma's defensive solidity at home and Inter's tendency to concede goals—they shipped three to Roma in 2012—make the zero handicap the sensible choice over backing an outright home win.
Odds to watch
Inter are slight favourites in the 1X2 market. At Mostbet, Inter win is 2.56, Roma win is 2.66, and the draw is 3.35. The gap between Roma and Inter is minimal, reflecting the competitive nature of this fixture. Over 2.5 goals is priced at 1.60 across the market, suggesting bookmakers expect an open, attacking match. Roma's last-ten average of 2.3 goals for and 1.49 against, combined with Inter's 2.1 for and 1.2 against, supports the lean toward goals.
