Inter Milan vs Roma Prediction: Back the hosts to keep visitors out in pivotal contest

A monumental clash greets us from Serie A as we return from the international break, when Inter Milan host Roma at San Siro on Sunday evening (19:45 GMT).

This match could go a long way in determining who lifts the title and who qualifies for European football next season. Read on for my Inter Milan vs Roma predictions, as well as the latest team news and match odds.

Team News

Inter look set to receive a double boost ahead of Sunday's contest as club captain Lautaro Martinez will be available for selection and Henrikh Mkhitaryan could also return to the fold having been sidelined with a hamstring problem since mid-March.

Carlos Augusto is suspended for the hosts.

As for Roma, wing-back Wesley is expected to be sidelined for up to four weeks with injury, while Paulo Dybala, Artem Dovbyk and Manu Kone remain long-term absentees.

Inter Milan vs Roma Odds

The hosts are 4/6, giving them an implied win probability of 60%, the draw is 11/4 and Roma can be backed at 4/1.

Both teams to score - yes can be backed at 10/11 and over 2.5 goals is currently available at the same price.

Inter Milan to win to nil @ 8/5

Both sides aren't in great form heading into Sunday's contest, but I think there's plenty of value in backing the hosts to win without conceding.

Inter have kept 15 clean sheets in 30 league outings, boasting the best defence in Serie A. In addition, the hosts have managed to keep Roma out in three of the last four meetings between the pair.

Lautaro Martinez to score anytime @ 23/20

I'm tempted to back Inter's talisman as he's the league's top goalscorer this term with 14 strikes.

The Argentina international will be desperate to make his mark here after missing the last five league games after sustaining an injury in the Champions League defeat to Bodo/Glimt.

The 28-year-old has also scored in two of the last three head-to-heads with Sunday's opponents.
