Inter Milan arrive in the capital this evening looking to secure a sixth consecutive victory across all competitions and draw level with Roma in the Serie A standings, as all eyes are on Captain Lautaro Martinez to repeat his heroics from last year’s fixture.
The Nerazzurri have built momentum under Cristian Chivu, and a win at the Stadio Olimpico would further underline their growing rhythm after the last international break.
Leading the line once again is expected to be Lautaro Martinez.
The Argentine, just like a year ago, heads straight into the match after international duty.
That previous trip ended memorably, as the Inter captain struck the winning goal in Rome.
Behind him, Ange-Yoan Bonny remains slightly favoured over Francesco Pio Esposito to partner the Argentine.
Both youngsters have impressed during the season’s early stages, giving Chivu valuable options in attack.

According to the Corriere dello Sport, ‘after the September break things didn’t go as planned against Juventus, but from that point on the team’s pace improved dramatically – and its captain was no exception.’
The paper notes that last October, ‘it was Lautaro who decided Roma-Inter after returning from the international break.’
The Nerazzurri have found balance at both ends of the pitch, and victory tonight would reinforce their Scudetto credentials.
Meanwhile, reawakening memories of last season’s statement performance in the same fixture.
