A highly-anticipated 2015-2016 Serie A season encounter between top teams Inter Milan (6-1-3, 21 points) and AS Roma (7-1-2, 23 points) is set at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in San Siro on October 31, Saturday as both teams attempt to hold the top spot in the overall standings.
Internazionale held league leadership in the early parts of the current season before they went on a four-game winless skid with one loss and three draws from Weeks six to ten of the competitions.
Roberto Mancini's wards finally won one again on Tuesday against lowly Bologna, 1-0, at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara courtesy of team captain Mauro Icardi's lone goal at the 67th minute, as reported by Goal.
Meanwhile, last season runners-up and this year's temporary league leaders, Roma, pulled off a 3-1 romp over Udinese at the Stadio Olimpico on Wednesday, as per SkySports.
Winger Miralem Pjanić, defender Maicon, and striker Gervinho scored one goal each at the 4th, 9th, and 63rd minutes before Udinese forward Cyril Théréau managed to put his team on the board at the 77th on the way to the dominating victory.
I Giallorossi head coach Rudi García hopes to keep the momentum going for his side as they face a high-caliber team like Inter at home this Saturday.
The predicted result is a 1-0 win for Roma over Inter Milan.
Inter Milan starting lineup (4-3-3 formation): Handanovic; Santon, Ranocchia, Miranda, Juan Jesus; Brozovic, Medel, Kondogbia; Perisic, Icardi, Ljajic
