Inter vs Roma Prediction 5 April 2026
📢 How will the clash between Inter and Roma unfold at the "Giuseppe Meazza" in the 31st round of Serie A? This matchup can rightfully be considered one of the key fixtures of the round, as both teams are tackling significant objectives at the season's end. The Nerazzurri are in the title race, while the Giallorossi are fighting for a Champions League spot. Both sides desperately need points, so don't expect any compromises here.
Head-to-Head
📊 The head-to-head record in recent years slightly favors the Milan club: out of 43 matches, Inter have secured 17 victories, 14 encounters ended in a draw, while Roma have come out on top 12 times. In the first round of the current season, the Nerazzurri clinched a narrow 1-0 away win, although the Romans performed equally well during the match but struggled with finishing.
Head-to-head statistics Inter - Roma
Inter Milano Team Overview
🔵 Inter are navigating a challenging phase of their season, with March proving to be a tough month for the Nerazzurri. Over this period, they played four matches without securing a single victory: three draws and one loss fall short of the expectations for a league leader. Before the international break, the Nerazzurri drew with Fiorentina (1-1), who are hovering near the relegation zone, making this result somewhat acceptable. Despite scoring early in the first minute, Inter failed to capitalize on their lead and completely ceded control after halftime. The Viola appeared much sharper in attack, created more dangerous chances, and could have easily snatched an additional two points.
⚫ Nevertheless, even amid this rough patch, Inter maintain a solid lead in the league standings. They sit on 69 points with a six-point cushion over their closest rival, though this gap was more substantial not long ago. With eight rounds remaining in the season, this margin looks quite comfortable - the key for the Nerazzurri is to avoid further slip-ups.

Roma Team Overview
🔴 Roma are also struggling to find satisfaction with their recent performances. In March, the Giallorossi played six matches and secured just one victory, falling short of their ambitions. During this period, they were knocked out of the Europa League by Bologna on aggregate (4-5), and their league standing slipped-they entered matchday 30 in sixth place, trailing the Champions League spots by three points. Nevertheless, their primary objective remains unchanged: to break into the top four at any cost.
🟡 Their sole victory during this stretch came in the previous round, where they narrowly defeated relegation-threatened Lecce at home (1-0). However, even that match was far from straightforward. Despite enjoying a significant territorial advantage with 67% possession, the opposition frequently countered with sharp attacks and created dangerous chances. Ultimately, Roma claimed the three points, but their gameplay left plenty of questions unanswered.

Latest news
Inter Milano
📣 After the 1-1 draw with Fiorentina, Inter's assistant coach Aleksandar Kolarov, filling in for the suspended Cristian Chivu, commented: "We didn't play our game and we're not in top form right now. Those three points were crucial, but credit to Fiorentina... When it comes to Inter, it seems like results should come naturally, but Fiorentina are a tough opponent, and a draw in Florence is an acceptable outcome. We are still six points ahead of our chasers, and everything remains in our hands."
🚫 The team faces minimal squad issues: Carlos Augusto will miss the match due to suspension, and Yann Bisseck is sidelined with a thigh injury.
Roma
📣 After Roma's 1-0 victory over Lecce, head coach Gian Piero Gasperini did not speak to the press. The club stated that the coach was experiencing voice issues.
🚫 The visitors face significant squad challenges. There are doubts over Kouadio Kone's participation due to a muscle injury. Meanwhile, Artem Dovbyk (muscle injury), Evan Ferguson (thigh injury), Wesley (hamstring injury), and Paulo Dybala (meniscus injury) are all confirmed absentees.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Inter have been dominant in the first halves, scoring before the break in 7 of their last 8 home Serie A matches. Given their need to break a four-game winless streak, it's highly likely they'll start aggressively to seize control early. In this context, betting on Inter to score in the first half seems like a logical choice.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Inter lead Serie A in corners earned, averaging around 6.7 per match. Even in the first round away game, the Nerazzurri managed five corners. At home, their pressure should be even greater, so a bet on Inter over 4.5 corners looks well-founded.
🚀 Player Statistics Bet
Recently, Pio Esposito has emerged as an unexpected leader in Inter's attack. The 20-year-old forward ended the team's two-game goal drought and scored the last two goals for the Nerazzurri. It's likely that the Italian will start again. In this scenario, betting on a Pio Esposito goal at odds of 2.65* appears to be a compelling option.
😱 Risky Bet
As mentioned earlier, both teams have been struggling: Inter are winless in four consecutive matches, while Roma have only one victory in their last six games. Notably, 3 of Inter's last 4 matches ended in a draw. Considering these trends, it's quite possible that the upcoming clash could also end without a winner, making a bet on a draw at odds of 4.00* an intriguing risky option.
👀 If the Match Doesn't Follow the Script
As we've noted, both teams have been shaky defensively and are conceding frequently, with Roma's matches often being high-scoring affairs. However, there's also a possibility of a different scenario: both sides might focus on defensive solidity and aim to avoid mistakes, given their recent struggles. Furthermore, considering that exactly one goal was scored in 4 of their last 5 head-to-head encounters, betting on under 1.5 total goals doesn't seem like such a crazy idea under these circumstances.
*Odds are approximate and may vary across different bookmakers.
Editorial Prediction
According to the bookmakers, Inter are the favorites for this clash, which makes sense given their home advantage and superior league position. However, both teams are far from their peak form at the moment: both the Nerazzurri and the Giallorossi have been dropping points more frequently than they would like, making it difficult to predict the outcome of this match confidently. Both sides are struggling defensively-neither Inter nor Roma can boast a solid backline and have been prone to errors recently. Therefore, a bet on both teams to score (yes) seems like a smart choice. We also anticipate a home victory with a scoreline of 2-1 in favor of Inter.
