Shamrock Rovers host Drogheda United in a Matchday 33 of the Irish Premier Division. The game takes place on Thursday, October 8, at 20:00 UK Time.
Roma hosts Inter in a game from the 5th round of Serie A. The game at the Stadio Olimpico kicks off on Saturday at 17:00 UK Time.
Match Preview
Both teams have maintained a perfect record since the start of the Serie A season, winning all four of their matches so far. While this start was expected for the champions, Inter, The Wolves have impressed with their performances and could stake a claim for the title with a victory over The Nerazzurri on Saturday. Roma won 2:0 away at Torino in the previous round. Dutch striker Donyell Malen scored his sixth Serie A goal of the season and will pose the main threat to the Inter goal.
The visitors from Milan defeated Udinese 5:3 at San Siro in the last round, getting back to winning ways after a 1:2 Champions League loss to Real Madrid. Inter recently beat Napoli 3:2, so they have already won one major derby this season. However, the challenge facing Cristian Chivu's team on Saturday will be significant. Inter has kept only one clean sheet in their last seven matches, so they need to improve defensively if they want to secure a win in Rome.
Prediction for Roma - Inter
The two best teams in Serie A are facing off in this match; Roma has won their last nine league games, meaning they have been in excellent form since the end of last season. Given that Inter have conceded seven goals in their last three matches, I expect Roma to find the net in front of a full house at the Stadio Olimpico, and I do not think they will lose the game.
Prediction: 1X DC
