KEY STATISTICS

– Inter have won only three of their last 14 Serie A home games against Roma, the last one of those coming in 2015 (D6 L5).
– There have been 499 goals in Serie A meetings between Inter and Roma, and it could become the first fixture to reach 500 in the competition.
– Inter, who have recorded 12 wins in their first 14 Serie A games for the first time in their history, could become the second different team to win at least 13 games in the first 15 after Juventus (13 in 1949/50, 14 in 2005/06, 13 in 2013/14 and 14 in 2018/19).
– Only Lazio (six) have won more of their last six Serie A games than both Inter and Roma (five each).

– Inter (12) and Roma (nine) are the two teams to score the most goals during the first 30 minutes of play in Serie A this season. Indeed, Inter have scored as many goals in that timeframe this season as they had in the whole of 2018/19 (12).
– Inter boss Antonio Conte is the first coach in the Serie A history to win at least 12 of the first 14 games in a Serie A season with two different teams, also doing so with Juventus in 2013/14.

– Roma striker Edin Dzeko has been involved in six goals at the San Siro in Serie A (three goals and three assists): excluding the Olimpico, that is the stadium in which he has the most goal involvements in the competition.
