The Nerazzurri preserved their hopes of a domestic double when they defeated AC Milan by three goals to nil, and they will welcome rivals AS Roma in a crunch Serie A meeting on April 23. Inter Milan vs. AS Roma kicks off at 21:30 IST and promises drama as Jose Mourinho returns to his old hunting ground.

Inter Milan are on a ten-match unbeaten run and are two points off AC Milan with a game in hand. They are well-positioned to defend their Serie A crown and look forward to this game with optimism after their impressive showing against Milan. AS Roma dented Napoli’s hopes of challenging for the Scudetto when they pulled one goal back in injury time over the weekend, maintaining their two-point advantage over sixth-placed Lazio.

Teams Status

Take a look at the latest form and team news from both sides:

Inter Milan Form and Team News

Inter Milan are two points behind AC Milan with a game in hand and have qualified for the Coppa Italia finals. They are having a great season, even if they have had their fair share of inconsistency. Ten matches unbeaten in all competitions, Serie A’s most lethal team will hope to put Roma to the sword to preserve their dreams of a domestic double.

Their home form is questionable, as they have only won two of their last five Serie A matches at home, losing two and drawing one. Star forward Lautaro Martinez is in peak form with 15 goals and three assists, and he will hope to inspire them to victory against an in-form AS Roma.

With no injuries, fitness issues, or suspensions to deal with, Inter Milan can field their strongest side as they welcome Jose Mourinho to San Siro again.

AS Roma Form and Team News

With three wins and two draws in their last five league games, AS Roma holds 5th place. They remain hopeful of securing a Champions League qualification spot, although they lie 5 points behind Juventus, who are in fourth place.

Summer signing Tammy Abraham has been a revelation for Jose Mourinho’s side this season with 15 goals and four assists, and he will hope to inspire his team to victory at San Siro. Roma have an uphill task if they hope to defeat Inter, as they have failed to win in ten straight meetings with the Nerazzurri.

Second-choice keeper Daniel Cerantula Fuzato is suspended and will not be on the trip to Milan.

Tipster’s Angle

Roma are winless in their last ten matches against Inter and have won three of their last five league matches. Inter are challenging for the Scudetto and are on a 10-match unbeaten streak, although they have lost two and drawn 1 of their last five home games. We expect a tightly contested fixture, and here are our thoughts:

Tip: Over 1.5 Goals @ 1.18

From the head-to-head record between these two sides, they have only failed to record a multi-goal result once in their last ten meetings. Inter have scored the most goals in Serie A, and Roma have an in-form Tammy Abraham to lead the line for them. We expect a result with more than one goal, and the over 1.5 goals outcome is available on Sportsbet.io at 1.18 odds.

Tip: Inter to Win Either Half @ 1.36

Inter Milan and Roma have each recorded draws in at least one half in over 12 matches this season, but Inter have scored 19 first-half goals at home this season. We expect the home side to come out on top in at least one half of the game, and the odds for that outcome are available on the Melbet sportsbook at 1.36.

Conclusion

Mourinho’s men dented Napoli’s chances of winning the Scudetto last season, and they hope to outshine an in-form Inter Milan in San Siro. Inter Milan remains in the hunt for a double, so we expect a tough contest with many clear-cut chances at both ends of the pitch.
