Where to watch Roma vs Inter on TV and live streaming

Paulo Dybala has been immortalised as a Superman figure in a new mural by celebrated Roman street artist Drugi, who regularly creates works celebrating the club's colours across the city. The artwork depicts Dybala as the giallorossi's superhero, cradled in the hands of a young Roma supporter. The mural arrived as Dybala prepares for tomorrow's Serie A summit clash between Roma and Inter at the Olimpico, with kickoff at 18:00. Drugi shared the work on Instagram accompanied by the caption: "Every child has his superhero."

Manu Koné has been called up to the France squad by new manager Zinédine Zidane for four Nations League matches, while Roma teammates Niccolò Pisilli and Emanuele Lulli have been selected for Italy's Under-21 side. The international break begins after this weekend's fifth round of Serie A fixtures, with clubs standing down for 20 days to accommodate national team commitments. Koné will feature in France's Nations League fixtures against Turkey (25 September), Belgium (28 September), Italy (2 October) and Belgium again (5 October). Pisilli and Lulli will participate in Italy U21's qualifying matches for the European Championship against Armenia (1 October) and Poland (5 October) under coach Silvio Baldini.

Gian Piero Gasperini addressed Roma's upcoming clash with Inter at the Olimpico, acknowledging the Nerazzurri's strength while emphasizing his side's competitive ambitions. The Roma head coach reflected on his recent record against Inter, saying: "In recent years against them I have always lost, but..." Gasperini's comments came on the eve of the direct confrontation, framing the match as an opportunity for Roma to test themselves against one of Serie A's elite sides.

Roma and Inter, the only two Serie A sides with 12 points after four rounds, meet at the Olimpico on Saturday in a high-stakes title clash. Gian Piero Gasperini's side have made a superb start to their second season in charge, winning all four league matches by an aggregate of 12–1, including a 2–0 victory at Torino on Monday with goals from Donyell Malen and Niccolò Pisilli. That came after a 1–1 draw at Fenerbahce in their opening Europa League fixture. Roma will attempt to reverse a damaging recent record: they have won only two of their last 16 encounters with Inter (D6, L10), and have lost their last five league clashes against them at home, failing to score four times in that sequence. The Giallorossi will seek to avenge an embarrassing 5–2 defeat from their last meeting. Despite the historical disadvantage, Roma's form this season suggests they can compete. They are the only Serie A team to have scored at least two goals in each of the first four rounds, and have extended their remarkable winning streak in the division to 11 games, including matches from last season. They are the second-highest scorers in Italy's top flight after four matchdays. Roma are also unbeaten in their last 14 home league matches (W11, D3) and boast one of the best defensive records in Europe's top-five leagues this season—only Arsenal and Freiburg have conceded as few goals as the Giallorossi (1). Inter, the reigning champions, are unbeaten in their last 30 Serie A games (W23, D6) despite netting just once in their only league trip so far in 2026–27, a narrow win over Cagliari. They top the scoring charts with 13 goals and have demonstrated remarkable fighting spirit, coming from 2–0 down to beat Napoli 3–2 and Udinese 5–3. However, they have conceded five goals across their last two league matches and let in at least two goals in three of their last five Serie A away games. Gasperini will have his entire squad available on Saturday, with Wesley Franca and Evan N'Dicka resuming full training earlier in the week. Manu Koné, who came off the bench at Turin, could return to the starting lineup in place of Pisilli. Paulo Dybala and Matías Soulé are expected to start behind Malen. Inter will be without midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu (adductor strain) and summer signing John Stones (thigh injury), with Yann Bisseck, Manuel Akanji and Alessandro Bastoni forming the defensive trio. Marcus Thuram could make his first Serie A start of the season after two impressive substitute appearances. Roma's projected lineup: Svilar; Mancini, Balerdi, N'Dicka; Molina, Koné, Cristante, Wesley; Soulé, Dybala; Malen. Inter's projected lineup: J. Martínez; Bisseck, Akanji, Bastoni; Diouf, Barella, Zielinski, Jones, Dimarco; Thuram, L. Martínez.

Fulvio Collovati, the 1982 World Cup winner, assessed Roma's challenge against Inter on the eve of their Serie A match, arguing that Gasperini's side possesses the superior defence. Collovati, who spent four seasons at Inter (1982–86) and two at Roma before a year at Udine, drew on his experience of both clubs to frame the tactical battle ahead. Collovati believed Roma arrive in better psychological and motivational shape, noting that Inter, already cast as super-favourites, have more to lose. He grounded his analysis in defensive statistics: Inter have conceded six goals while scoring 13, whereas Roma have shipped only one goal in the same period while scoring 12. "It is a non-negligible fact," he said, "which translates the solidity of Gasperini's team; instead Chivu in the same period is working to make the defence more solid." Collovati stressed that defensive strength remains Serie A's defining characteristic, pointing out that Como reached the Champions League last season by conceding just 29 goals rather than scoring 36. He argued that for Roma, having an impenetrable backline is almost as important as possessing attacking talent. On individual defenders, Collovati assessed that Leonardo Balerdi is earning his place through performances, describing him as "a young man who has modern qualities coupled with an 'ancient' temperament as a defender." He added that Gasperini's comparison of Balerdi to Baresi may have been slightly excessive, though the coach clarified he was speaking of characteristics. Collovati also highlighted several young talents with international significance: Ghilardi, whom he considers almost ready, and Emanuele Lulli, arguing that if there is such talk of talented youth, ``then you have to start betting on them, as happens abroad.'' He named Bastoni, Dimarco, Esposito, Barella, Mancini and Cristante as players whose club performance carries weight for the national team, noting that Roberto Mancini will be present at the Olimpico on Saturday. When asked whether he was rooting for either side, Collovati said: "I'm not someone who shies away from answers, but since I became a commentator I've managed to exercise healthy distance, so I say I support beautiful football and in my opinion we will see it in Roma–Inter."

Roma's flying form has sparked title-race optimism among the club's supporters, with actor Carlo Verdone telling Corriere dello Sport that this season could be their moment. Verdone praised head coach Gasperini's work, saying: "It could be the right year, yes. Gasperini is doing a huge job, he's brought out genuinely incredible players and the squad is performing very well." He singled out defender Emanuele Lulli as an unexpected prospect and midfielders Niccolò Pisilli and Leonardo Balerdi for particular praise, with Verdone describing Balerdi—a recent arrival—as "very strong" and predicting Lulli will soon feature for Italy. On the threat posed by Inter, Verdone acknowledged the challenge ahead. "Inter are genuinely frightening, without doubt," he said. "They're a team that becomes a force when they attack—we've seen that in this opening stretch of the season and last season under a good coach like Chivu. But Inter can also give something away, as the Udinese match showed. Roma have the best defence in the league, but the Nerazzurri are always scary."

Gian Piero Gasperini held his pre-match press conference on the eve of Roma's fixture against Inter, scheduled for Saturday 19 September at 18:00 at the Stadio Olimpico. Roma arrive at the encounter unbeaten after four matches and level on points with Inter at the top of the Serie A table. The coach emphasised the significance of the moment: "The satisfaction of arriving at an appointment in this situation. It's a fine fixture, stadium full, great enthusiasm. I'd stop at this sensation of a much-anticipated encounter early in the season, very positive on both sides." Gasperini acknowledged Inter's standing as the benchmark in Italian football while defending Roma's progress. "Inter is the reference team in our championship, doing extraordinary things in Italy and Europe too. It's a very strong team. For the other teams it's a reference point to try to get closer, precisely because Inter's strength right now is recognised," he said. The coach has managed Roma for one year and noted the gap has narrowed, though he stressed the need for realism: "Not just against Roma, it's in the points and victories they've accumulated. We must have the serenity to acknowledge these things are objective. We must look at ourselves. I'm satisfied with how we're doing to insert ourselves into an ever-higher band of the championship. Inter has been the strongest team in the championship for years, then Napoli inserted itself for a few years. We're trying to insert ourselves. Compared to last year we've certainly grown." On squad fitness, Gasperini confirmed availability ahead of the Inter clash. "I keep crossing my fingers: we're all here for tomorrow, already that's an extraordinary result. Some knocks are part of normal life. Today is the final session and even small things will be overcome," he said. He addressed Emanuele Lulli's readiness, noting: "I won't get into that detail. He's a lad who came through recently, doing a path by skipping stages in a fast way. I'm looking at the present, and I'm very satisfied with what he's doing." On Lorenzo Pellegrini's return from injury: "Pellegrini is the second week training. He can do everything, he's available. In his case the long break could help. We'll see if it's the case to play some friendlies." Gasperini also reflected on Roma's historical record against Inter: "It may be. There was a period when I managed to get results, then always defeats. But managers have changed, and the result hasn't changed... (laughs). But Inter got these results with many teams, Juventus for example. Evidently there are many components. Certainly it's a strong team." On tactical flexibility for the Inter fixture, Gasperini said: "For me it's fundamental to try to do things to reach the result. Every match is different. Today it's unpredictable what tomorrow might be. Solutions are sought to find the result, to win it." He noted his willingness to adapt structure, citing his time at Atalanta: "I did it with Atalanta by putting two defenders, but to win it, not to lose it. You have to get used to changes in defenders—with changes in strikers this should be considered too." On defending options, he confirmed flexibility: "Both [Nahuel Molina and Wesley] can play on one side and the other. Being right-footed both are different plays, but they're skilled enough to play on both flanks."

Roma have roughly 24 hours until their big match against Inter. Gasperini will resolve his final team selection doubts today, with the full squad available to him. Wesley's positioning remains uncertain—he could return to the right flank, with Nahuel Molina moving to the left to contain Dimarco. The squad will train this afternoon before retreating to Trigoria for the night, staying at the centre to maintain group cohesion and full concentration ahead of tomorrow's fixture. Gasperini is determined to prevent any lapse in focus for a match that already carries title-race significance.

Manu Koné has been called up to the France squad by new manager Zinédine Zidane for four Nations League matches, while Roma teammates Niccolò Pisilli and Emanuele Lulli have been selected for Italy's Under-21 side. The international break begins after this weekend's fifth round of Serie A fixtures, with clubs standing down for 20 days to accommodate national team commitments. Koné will feature in France's Nations League fixtures against Turkey (25 September), Belgium (28 September), Italy (2 October) and Belgium again (5 October). Pisilli and Lulli will participate in Italy U21's qualifying matches for the European Championship against Armenia (1 October) and Poland (5 October) under coach Silvio Baldini.

The Italian Football Federation has named 25 players for the Italy U21 squad for a training camp at Tirrenia ahead of two crucial European Championship qualifiers. Roma midfielder Niccolò Pisilli and defender Emanuele Lulli have been selected by head coach Silvio Baldini for the two-match sequence. Lulli receives his first call-up to the U21 squad, along with Cichella, Liberali and Reggiani. The matches will determine whether Italy progresses to the 2027 European Under-21 Championship in Albania and Serbia. Both fixtures carry significant weight in the qualification campaign, with 180 minutes to secure the required result. The ties represent a final push in the qualifying phase for the 26th edition of the continental youth tournament. Italy face Armenia on Thursday 1 October at 18:30 in Yerevan, followed by Poland on Monday 5 October at 18:15 at the Adriatico stadium in Pescara. The 25-man squad includes goalkeepers Giovanni Daffara, Diego Mascardi and Lorenzo Palmisani, and features players from across the Italian league and European clubs including Milan, Torino, Frosinone, Napoli, Fiorentina and Borussia Dortmund. The defensive contingent spans 13 players drawn from top-flight and international sides.

Roberto Mancini has pre-selected more than 70 players for his first Italy squad since returning to the national team bench and is narrowing the list down to approximately 30 names. At least seven players will earn maiden call-ups: Issa Doumbia, Alesandro Romano, Napoli's Antonio Vergara (who is also eligible for Mexico), Brentford's Michael Kayode, Sassuolo's Sebastiano Esposito, and Atalanta's Gianluca Gaetano. Bologna's Massimo Pessina and Roma's Daniele Ghilardi are on the bubble. A handful of youngsters who would not be regulars will remain with the U-21 side ahead of the Euro. Mancini is taking a notable gamble with Mohamed Ali Zoma, who blossomed with Albinoleffe in Serie C before joining FC Nürnberg, where he has scored 19 goals and supplied 5 assists in 35 matches in the Zweite Bundesliga. Among other prospects, the coach is keen on Alphadjo Cissé, Constantino Favasuli, Niccolò Pisilli, Cher Ndour, Luca Koleosho, Antonio Raimondo, Emanuele Lulli, Mattia Liberali, and Simone Lontani, though the U-21 side would be too depleted if all were promoted to the senior team; they could be called up in case of injuries. Matteo Palma and Nicolò Tresoldi, who have represented Germany to date, have not yet made their choice regarding Italy representation, while Samuel Inacio, who has Brazilian parents and has already debuted for Italy, needs three more appearances to be locked in permanently. Mancini will work with a 4-3-3 formation. Italy will be without Manuel Locatelli and Federico Chiesa, who are injured, while Marco Palestra, Riccardo Orsolini, and Nicolò Zaniolo are doubtful owing to recent muscular injuries.
