Serie A
2026/27
Matchday five
AS Roma vs Inter Milan
Stadio Olimpico
Rome, Italy
Saturday, 19 September 2026
Kick-off is at 18:00
With AS Roma and Inter Milan reigning supreme at the top of the Serie A table this season, the two sides will now engage in a battle for first place at Stadio Olimpico this coming weekend.
Roma have enjoyed a perfect start to the 2026/27 Serie A season as they sit in pole position with 12 points from four matches.
Following a treble of victories over Fiorentina, Lecce and Atalanta, Roma will go into the next game on the back of an impressive 2-0 away win over Torino on Monday night. In addition to their success so far, Roma boasts the best defensive record in the league, having conceded just one goal ahead of matchday five.
Inter likewise carries a 100% win rate following their 5-3 home win over Udinese last time out. Neck and neck with Roma, only separated by a slender goal difference tally, Inter’s 12 points were supplemented by consecutive victories over Monza, Cagliari and Napoli.
With the game against Inter Milan in mind, Roma coach Gian Piero Gasperini mentioned that their upcoming opponents are the ‘best in the business’ regarding Serie A football and that he looks forward to what will be one of their toughest tests this season.
“We’ve got a few days to prepare. There’s a stark contrast between now and last season: we took a heavy beating in the second meeting of the campaign, but that was the moment the real Roma came to the fore,” Gasperini said.
“Since then we’ve been going from strength to strength, and not just in results, but in terms of our attitude, behaviour and mentality. However, the first match was a tighter affair - we conceded an early goal but arguably deserved a bit more from the encounter.
“Inter are the benchmark team in our league – they’re top-class and are rightly considered the best in the business in this country. Having said that, I reckon Como come a close second. It’s also an opportunity for us to test ourselves and improve upon our recent performances.”
