AI summary
Roma's meeting with Inter on Saturday carries weight beyond a single fixture. The Giallorossi have not won against their visitors since 2016, a curse that has taken on symbolic importance as Gasperini's side pursues the title. After four games, Roma sit top of Serie A with 12 goals scored and just one conceded—a stark contrast to their opening month last season, when they managed eight goals in eight matches.
Gasperini has been explicit about his ambitions: he gave himself three years to deliver the Scudetto, and this is year two. Inter, under Chivu, remain the gold standard—a squad that has recovered from two-goal deficits twice already this season. For Roma, beating them would signal that this title challenge is genuine.
