Serie A leaders Inter welcome fifth placed Roma to the San Siro on Friday night to get this weekend’s Serie A action off to a start. Inter are just one point above Juventus in second so can put some distance between themselves and the Old Lady with a win here, while Roma can leap up to third in the table should they grab the three points. Roma have an awful record against Inter though, of their 96 matches they’ve only won 16 times, can they improve on that record on Friday night? More importantly, can we find value in the betting markets?

Inter vs Roma Betting Tips and Predictions: Inter

Inter are having a great season, they’ve lost just three matches of the 18 they’ve played so far this season, only one of which was at home. Antonio Conte has done what Antonio Conte always does; he makes the team incredibly difficult to beat and while they rarely score more than two goals in a match they almost always come out on top.

So far this season in the league at home, they’re averaging 1.86 goals per match and conceding just 0.86, one of the lowest averages in the league. Their home form is one of the best in the league too, of their seven matches they’ve won five, drawn one and lost one, scoring 13 and conceding six.

That record against Roma is very impressive, however, it doesn’t tell the full story, of their last five matches hosting Roma they’ve won just two and of their last 10 league meetings at the San Siro, they’ve won just four. Three have ended in draws and Roma have won three.

These tend to be tight affairs and with it being the first match of the weekend the pressure will be on Inter to go for the win here. However, both teams are in good goal scoring from so we’d wait to see how the first half goes and should it be 0-0 at halt time we’d go with Over 1.5 goals when it hits odds of 2.0.
