Inter Milan looks to rejuvenate their push for the 2024/25 Serie A title when they host an unpredictable AS Roma side at the San Siro in their next clash. The Inter Milan vs AS Roma clash will take place on Sunday, 27 April 2025 at 13:00 PM GMT.

The Nerazzurri have fallen into some tough times, having lost the Coppa Italia semifinal by a 4-1 margin to AC Milan. They are still first in the Serie A with 71 points from 33 games, but have just two wins in their last five competitive matches and are on a two-match losing streak.

Simone Inzaghi needs to revitalize his players to get back to their best to stay ahead of Napoli in the title race. They need to improve their defensive structure, with the defenders needing to be more proactive and alert at the back. Inzaghi also needs his players to be smooth and efficient with their attacking and start converting chances clinically to get back to winning ways.

AS Roma are on their own journey to potentially snatch a top-4 finish in the Serie A heading into the final stretch of the season. They're currently in 7th place with 57 points, just three points behind the top-4. Roma have won three of their last five games, and have just five away wins in Serie A this season.

Claudio Ranieri's side are unbeaten in over 10 Serie A games and looks to maintain that record against Inter. They will look to be sturdy defensively and maintain their stubborn shape to frustrate the hosts.

Ranieri will also urge his players to be clinical in finishing off counter-attacks and threaten on the set-pieces to amplify their chances of getting a big result that might dent Inter's title dreams and improve their UEFA Champions League hopes!

Key Players to Watch in Inter Milan vs AS Roma

Lautaro Martinez (Inter Milan)

Lautaro Martinez has played a key role in Inter Milan's push for the Serie A title, as he's managed a solid 13.10 xG and scored 12 goals out of that. He's averaging 3.2 shot attempts per game and has been an energetic threat on his side frontline.

The Argentine forward needs to regain his clutch instincts in the final third to inspire his side to a big win. Martinez will look to be effective in helping build impactful counter-attacks and drive his side forward in inspired fashion. He will, however, need to be extremely clinical to put away any chances on his path to help break AS Roma's sturdy defensive nature.

Matias Soule (AS Roma)

Matias Soule has become an important part of AS Roma's attacking line under Claudio Ranieri. He's overperformed his 2.46 xG with four goals in Serie A this season, despite averaging just 0.6 shots on target per game. The Argentine forward has shown the ability to pop up with the special goals, which includes screamers from set-pieces and long range.

He'll need to be at his prolific best to get through his stringent Inter Milan backline. Soule will look to move around quite a bit to help create chances for his teammates and needs to be ruthless with his shooting to cause major problems to the hosts.

Inter Milan vs AS Roma Prediction

Because of Inter's shaky recent form and Roma's push for a top-4 spot, this could be a pretty tight affair. There should be chances for both sides, but both will look to maintain a sturdy defensive nature to ensure that mistakes are not made.

Even though Inzaghi's side have lost their last two games, their impressive home record (12 wins out of 16 Serie A home matches) gives them an advantage. The Nerazzurri will find it tough, and Roma should put up a brave showing, but Inzaghi's side should grind their way to a win here.

Predicted Score: Inter Milan 2-1 AS Roma
