Serie A clash, Roma faces Inter with a solid defense
Now, they host Inter Milan this weekend. Inter’s attack is no joke. They’ve scored 17 goals already. This clash could decide who’s really in the title race.
Building on Last Season’s Grit
Roma carried this toughness from last year. Under Claudio Ranieri and other coaches starting in early 2025, they have only allowed 13 goals in 26 league matches. But, their attack needs work. They’ve scored seven goals in six matches. That puts them tied with Napoli at the top. Gasperini wants more fire up front. Imagine if they clicked like that old Roma side with Totti. Fans would go wild.
Gvlin (perspective): Visualize your team’s goal depletion last season as if it were a sieve. Now, they’re shutting doors. That’s Roma’s story. It shows how drilling basics pays off. If you’re coaching a pickup game, start there. Lock down defense first, then build attacks.
Players Stepping Up for Roma
Gasperini trusted Evan Ferguson early on. The Irish on advance and excels for Ireland. He bagged three in their last four games. But at club level? His last goal was almost a year ago. That’s rough. Roma hopes his Tuesday strike against Armenia sparks him. He turns 21 right after the Inter match. Talk about pressure.
Artem Dovbyk led the line lately. He finally scored in the last two games. But Matias Soule? He’s the star. Three goals already. Gasperini’s glued to him. Soule’s become key. Like that time a young player bursts out, think Haaland’s early days. Roma fans, cheer loud for these guys. It might push them over the hump.
Inter’s Attack Options Keep Roma on Edge
Inter sits fourth, just three points from the top. Their 17 goals scream danger for Roma’s backline. Marcus Thuram might miss out with injury. But coach Cristian Chivu has a choices. Pair him with Lautaro Martinez? Nah, Thuram’s sidelined.
Other Serie A Battles Heating Up
Juventus started strong with three wins. They’re unbeaten. But five draws in a row? Time to fix that. They match Inter’s points. Sunday’s away game at Como looks tough. Como lost just once and trails by three points.
Napoli defends their title at Torino Saturday. Torino has one win. It came away at Roma, though. Sneaky.
Milan’s third under Massimiliano Allegri. Two points off the lead. They host Fiorentina Sunday. Fiorentina’s winless in the league. But Allegri might miss Christian Pulisic. The American’s hurt from international duty. He had six goals in eight games. Big loss.
Like Juventus sketch too much, think of teams that grind draws. It’s safe but boring. To win titles, strike when hot. If you’re a Milan fan, pray Pulisic heals quick. Rest the squad smart.
Roma’s defense versus Inter’s style?
It’s steel meets flair.
Can’t wait for kickoff.
