AS Roma vs Inter Milan
Another exciting football clash is upon us this weekend, as Inter Milan visit AS Roma at the Stadio Olimpico for the 34th matchday of Serie A.
Inter Milan are on a resurgence as of late – having been unbeaten in three straight matches already. Because of this, Antonio Conte’s side have re-emerged at the second spot at the table with 71 points.
As for the hosts in AS Roma, they continue their fight to hold on to an Europa League qualification spot. And so far, they are in good shape as they are in fifth place with 57 points – which is four points clear over Napoli and AC Milan.
Like Inter Milan, Paulo Fonseca’s men have been in good form in their last few outings. They have won three consecutive matches, albeit against some of the league’s cellar dwellers.
Regardless, getting the job done is essential for both of these clubs with contrasting agendas, so we can expect a cracker for this upcoming match.
As we are slowly reaching the conclusion of the 2019/20 Serie A season, you can count on SBOBET to give you your dose of Serie A 2020 updates.
Talking Points
Is it a little too late for the Nerazzurri?
The Nerazzurri have been firing on all cylinders. But is this a classic case of a little too late in terms of dethroning Juventus?
Well, don’t tell that to Antonio Conte and his men as they have been vying for a puncher’s chance to try and steal away the Serie A trophy away from Juve’s grasp.
While their form has been shaky during the first few games in the restart, Inter dug deep and they have kicked things to a higher gear.
After thumping Brescia with a 6-0 tally, Inter lost in a bad way against Bologna and their inconsistencies haunted them against Hellas Verona.
They were struggling at that time with their attack especially with Romelu Lukaku out due to an unspecified injury.
But with Alexis Sanchez’ resurgence, Inter have now scored 23 times since the lockdown – marking it the league’s best at this time.
It also helps that Lazio are on a losing streak and Juventus have failed to win in their last three matches. So perhaps there is still a glimmer of daylight if you are Inter.
AS Roma facing a stern test
Like Inter, Roma have been on a win streak themselves and much of their success can be owed to their wealth of attack and midfield options.
Edin Dzeko, Nicolo Zaniolo, and Jordan Veretout have provided the goals for Giallorossi, whose performances have drawn praises from their coach in Paulo Fonseca.
Dzeko just became the club’s all-time leader in scoring as a foreigner with 105 goals while Veretout and Zaniolo’s work rates have been superb as well.
While their ongoing winning streak is quite impressive, a battle against Inter Milan should help them gauge how far they have come this season.
In the reverse fixture last December, they were able to hold Inter to a goalless draw.
A win here for the Giallorossi should further solidify their hold to the Europa League spot for next year. Can they do it this time around?
History
AS Roma and Inter Milan have faced off in 59 matches.
This matchup is as close as it gets recently as their last four fixtures ended up in a draw.
In terms of their head-to-head records, Inter have the slight edge with 21 wins while Roma won 17 times along with 21 draws.
Betting Tip
AS Roma vs Inter Milan | 1X2 Inter Milan @ 2.28 | |
July 20, 03:45 (GMT+8) |
Inter Milan are considered as the slightly favoured team to win in this match, according to our latest Serie A 2020 odds.
In the 1×2 market, they are priced at 2.28 while AS Roma are priced at 2.97, and the price for a draw is pegged at 3.35.
Goals aren’t that many whenever these two meet up as recent history suggests, so you can safely place your wagers on either Total Goal 2-3 @ 1.78 or Under 2.50 @ 1.98.
While both of these teams have been in superb form lately, I would have to give the edge to the visitors because of their overall quality.
An in-form trio of Alexis Sanchez, Romelu Lukaku, and Lautaro Martinez is dangerous for AS Roma to contain, let alone for any Serie A side. So their defence will work harder than usual this Sunday.
