Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Roma and Inter take on each other at Stadio Olimpico in the Serie A round 16. The Romans have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team producing much better showings at home than on the travels. Jose Mourinho’s troops are eager to keep their Champions League hopes alive, and you should know that they are eyeing their sixth home win of the process. Both Abraham and Karsdorp are sidelined through suspension, while Spinazzola, Pellegrini, Villar, and El Shaarawy miss out with injuries.
The Nerazzurri, on the other hand, are on a three-game winning run in the Italian top flight. Inter faced no difficulties in a 2-0 win over Spezia, with the team remaining in the title race. Simone Inzaghi’s men are likely to adopt yet another attack-minded approach, and given Roma’s attacking potential, both teams to score betting option should be considered. Both Darmian and Ranocchia are sidelined with injuries, while De Vrij and Kolarov are rated doubtful.
