AS Roma enter the match at Inter's home ground in very good form recently, having won all 5 recent matches in all competitions. However, they will be without coach Mourinho due to suspension.

This caused AS Roma to lose direction. The Roma team was at a disadvantage throughout the match. In the end, they lost 0-1 to Inter. Marcus Thuram scored the only goal to help Nerazzurri win.
Inter entered this match with the strongest possible lineup. Marcus Thuram and Lautaro Martinez were the club's attacking duo. On the other side of the front line, AS Roma also fielded the attacking pair of Lukaku and El Shaarawy.
After the opening whistle, Inter put pressure on AS Roma and put them on the defensive. The difference in skill level between the two teams was obvious. In the 5th minute, Hakan Calhanoglu hit the crossbar of the opponent's goal.
In the first half alone, Inter had 12 shots, while AS Roma failed to shoot at all. Unfortunately, the Nerazzurri strikers were unlucky in their final shots.

The same situation happened in the second half. The only difference was that Inter found a goal to break the deadlock. In the 81st minute, Dimarco crossed for Marcus Thuram to finish close to the net against AS Roma. That was also the only goal of this match.
In the following match, AC Milan had a huge advantage when they took a 2-0 lead over Napoli after only 31 minutes. In the 22nd minute, Giroud headed the ball into Napoli's net from close range. In the 31st minute, the French striker completed his double.
AC Milan were excited in the first half but showed weakness in the second half. That created conditions for Napoli to take the lead. In the 50th minute, Politano shortened the gap after an excellent solo performance. In the 63rd minute, Giacomo Raspadori leveled the score 2-2 for Napoli from a free kick.

In the remaining minutes, both teams tried to find a goal but failed. Napoli even had to play with only 10 men after Natan was sent off in extra time.
After round 10 of Serie A, Inter is still leading with 25 points, 2 points more than the 2nd ranked team Juventus. Meanwhile, the 3rd and 4th positions belong to AC Milan and Napoli with 22 points and 18 points respectively. Mourinho's AS Roma is ranked 8th with 14 points.
