Players to Watch

Tammy Abraham (AS Roma)

Tammy Abraham leads AS Roma’s attacking line expertly well. The English striker has eight goals in the Serie A and will be the main source of threat for Inter in the upcoming contest. He is tall and uses his frame to hold the ball up to play his wingers into space. It will be a headache for Inter defenders to stop Abraham from getting on the end of crosses inside the box. 

Lautaro Martinez (Inter)

Inter will hope that their striker Lautaro Martinez can continue his goalscoring feats against AS Roma. He has 19 goals in the league with four assists in 33 appearances. The striker presents the biggest threat to AS Roma and he got a brace and an assist in the 6-0 win against Verona in the previous game as well.

Match Facts

• Paulo Dybala is AS Roma’s leading goalscorer in the league with 11 goals.
