Rome’s Olympic Stadium will stage an early-season Serie A summit on Saturday 19 September, when Roma welcome Inter Milan with both clubs perfect after four rounds and the chance to emerge as the division’s outright leaders.
Perfect starts bring Rome to the top
Roma sit first going into the weekend, level with Inter on the maximum 12 points but ahead on goal difference. The Giallorossi have scored 12 times and conceded only once, giving the capital club the narrow edge before the meeting at the Stadio Olimpico.
- Roma 4-0 Fiorentina
- Lecce 0-4 Roma
- Roma 2-1 Atalanta
- Torino 0-2 Roma
Those four victories have made Roma the early pace-setters in Italy, but Inter arrive having matched their winning record and with the opportunity to take sole possession of first place through a victory in the capital.
Inter bring goals and momentum from Milan
Inter have been the more prolific side so far, with 13 league goals, although their six conceded leave them behind Roma in the tiebreaker. Their opening month has included a tight away win in Sardinia, a high-profile victory over Napoli and a dramatic comeback against Udinese.
- Inter 4-1 Monza
- Cagliari 0-1 Inter
- Inter 3-2 Napoli
- Inter 5-3 Udinese
The 5-3 result against Udinese was their most turbulent outing of the campaign, with Inter overturning the match before finishing with five goals. Saturday’s contest therefore brings together the league’s strongest defensive start and its highest-scoring attack.
