An analysis of the opposition, Roma

After their comeback win over Udinese, Inter are preparing to face Roma at the Olimpico on Matchday 5 of the league season, the final game before the long international break. It is a big match between two teams at the top of the table with maximum points, both of whom have produced spectacular football at the start of the season. It is a meeting between the league's best attack, Inter's, and its best defence, Roma's, as well as between the two teams with the highest average defensive line in Serie A and two of the three best possession figures (Inter first, Roma third). The Giallorossi head into the big match at the Olimpico on the back of a positive run that stretches back to the end of last season, which coincided with their return to the Champions League. The second year with Gian Piero Gasperini in charge of the Giallorossi has started in the best possible way, with four wins out of four in Serie A, twelve goals scored and one conceded, while the transfer window saw the team's key players retained and the squad strengthened with talented additions.
