Roma and Inter will contest one of the key fixtures of the fifth round of Serie A on 19 September 2026, with both sides level on 12 points at the top of the table. Roma currently lead the standings on additional criteria, while Inter sit second.
The match brings together two teams who have each won all four of their league games so far. With neither side holding a points advantage, the contest is considered evenly balanced ahead of kick-off.
Roma
Roma have made an impressive start to the new Serie A season and occupy first place after four victories. Their 12-point total was secured by a perfect record in their opening league matches.
Their recent results include a 2-1 win over Atalanta and a 2-0 victory against Torino. In the Champions League, the capital club drew 1-1 with Fenerbahce.
Roma’s position above Inter is based on additional statistical criteria rather than a difference in points. The meeting with the Milan club therefore gives the leaders an opportunity to strengthen their position at the top of the table.
Inter
Inter arrive in second place with the same record: four wins and 12 points from their opening Serie A fixtures. The Milan side are separated from Roma only by the relevant tie-break criteria.
Inter followed a 3-2 victory over Napoli by beating Udinese 5-3. Their Champions League campaign has also included a meeting with Real Madrid, although the Nerazzurri were beaten 2-1 by the Madrid side.
The fixture is therefore between two teams with identical league records, although their most recent European results differ. Both will be looking to maintain their unbeaten domestic start and claim outright momentum in the title race.
Match statistics
Roma have won four of their five matches across all competitions listed in the preview. Inter have also recorded four victories in their five matches.
The two sides are regarded as having broadly equal chances of winning this game. However, the most recent meeting between them ended in a decisive victory for Inter, who won 5-2.
Prediction
The expectation is that the match will produce enough attacking pressure for the total number of corners to go over the relevant line. The forecast is for a game in which both teams generate a significant number of set-piece opportunities.
