Excitement Builds for Upcoming Roma-Inter Clash at Olimpico

MILAN, Italy (October 17, 2025) — The much-anticipated match between AS Roma and Inter Milan is set for October 18 at the Olimpico Stadium. The game kicks off at 20:45, marking a significant reunion for Cristian Chivu, who returns as Inter’s head coach and faces his former club.

Chivu, who played for Roma between 2003 and 2007, will lead a team riding high on confidence, having won five consecutive matches in both Serie A and the Champions League. Their latest Serie A victory was a dominating 4-1 match against Cremonese.

AS Roma, coached by Gian Piero Gasperini, has also had a strong season thus far, winning five out of six league games. They face challenges, having recently been defeated by Lille in Europe but are preparing to meet Union St. Gilloise in their upcoming Champions League match.

Gasperini expressed optimism as he answers questions about his team’s performance, especially after the return of key player Leon Bailey from injury. While Bailey will be available for selection, he is likely to start on the bench as he continues to regain full fitness.

This monumental match at the Olimpico promises to showcase key players from both teams. Roma’s Dybala and Soulé will look to create chances, while Inter relies on experienced stars like Mkhitaryan to control the game.

Fans can catch all the action live on DAZN, with text updates available on Gazzetta.it. With high stakes and both teams motivated for victory, the stage is set for an exhilarating showdown at the Olimpico.
