Serie A 2023-24 Matchday 24 is set to be underway soon

Roma’s form this season has been inconsistent and that led to the dismissal of Jose Mourinho earlier this month. Daniele De Rossi will be hopeful he gets Roma into the top four. De Rossi, a legend as a player at Roma, is fairly new to management. After an unsuccessful spell at SPAL, romance has led him back to Roma. He’s only been in the job for a short period so it’ll be hard to assess his style at this point.

Inter Milan, on the other hand, sit top of Serie A. In 22 games, The Nerazzurri have 18 wins, three draws and just one loss which leaves them on 57 points, four points above Juventus and eight points above AC Milan. Simone Inzaghi has a successful approach at Inter and he’ll be hoping his fast-pressing strategy can unsettle the home side. This will be a very exciting match and both teams will give their all.

Players to Watch

Leandro Paredes (AS Roma)

Being able to play in both a double pivot or as the deepest lying player in a three-man midfield, Paredes is a ‘regista’ who tends to organize play from deep in his half. Despite not possessing much pace, this position suits his physical and technical abilities very well as his passing and vision on the field truly compensate for his shortcomings in respect to speed.

Though he tends to remain further back while in possession, Paredes always supports his teammates by offering himself as the open man to rapidly shift from defence to attack and start the build-up play for an attacking move.

Lautaro Martinez (Inter Milan)

Martínez is a versatile striker who can adapt his approach to give him a better chance of scoring. This versatility is a vital part of his shooting ability; it makes him unpredictable and allows him to choose the technique that gives him the best opportunity to beat the goalkeeper.

Martínez has a unique technique which enables him to drive the shot low past the goalkeeper, and his ambidexterity and concentration make him an outlier amongst his peers. Martínez has excellent vision and a sense of creativity that is rare in many centre-forwards
