Fabio Capello has said Inter remain the favourites for the Serie A title, while admitting he enjoys seeing both Rome and Milan at the top of the table. The former Roma manager spoke in an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport. "I have always argued that Inter were the favourites, the best-equipped squad for the Scudetto, and at the moment I have no reasons to convince me otherwise. Seeing all of Milan and all of Rome up there, however, pleases me and takes me back to my past," Capello said.
Capello also compared Roma with AC Milan, and he gave Gian Piero Gasperini's side the edge. "I see Roma in better shape, because they have an established way of playing, while the Rossoneri are still searching for their definitive identity. It is not a criticism: Gasperini has been working with his players for a year, while Amorim has only just arrived, and the difference on the pitch is noticeable." His comments point to the advantage of continuity at the Giallorossi, with Gasperini's methods now bedded in across the squad.
For Roma, the praise from a former coach who knows the club well is a boost as the side keeps pace with the leaders. Capello's view is that the team are playing well, even though Inter are still the team he expects to win the title.

Former Roma striker Roberto Pruzzo has said the club must bring in a forward in January to replace Rodrigo Mora. Speaking on Radio Radio Mattino (104.5), Pruzzo said: "Il Cagliari è in caduta libera, sono in difficoltà e la Roma ne deve approfittare. È importante trovare i tre punti e con la qualità dei giocatori può farcela. Poi deve iniziare anche a fare punti in Champions League contro il Manchester United. La Roma a gennaio deve prendere un attaccante al posto di Mora." In translation, Pruzzo said: "Cagliari are in freefall and are in difficulty, and Roma must take advantage. It is important to find the three points, and with the quality of the players they can do it. Then they must also start picking up points in the Champions League against Manchester United. Roma must sign a striker in January to replace Mora." Piero Torri, speaking on Radio Manà Manà (90.9), said: "Siamo alla sesta partita di un ciclo di nove e temo che possano sentirsi le fatiche fisiche e mentali delle gare precedenti. La Roma deve vincere per continuare ad aggiungere consapevolezza ed autostima e spero ci riesca senza faticare troppo." In translation: "We are at the sixth match of a cycle of nine, and I fear the physical and mental fatigue of the previous games may be felt. Roma must win to keep adding confidence and self-esteem, and I hope they manage it without struggling too much."
