Roma Aims for Upset Against Inter Milan to Boost Champions League Hopes

MILAN, Italy — Roma will face Inter Milan at the San Siro on April 27, 2025, in a crucial Serie A match that could significantly affect both teams’ Champions League aspirations.

The match comes shortly after the death of Pope Francis, prompting Serie A to reschedule numerous games, including this high-stakes fixture. Inter Milan, currently at the top of the league, will play their fourth match in ten days as they juggle the pressures of both domestic and European competitions.

Roma, led by coach Claudio Ranieri, has been in excellent form this year, remaining unbeaten in Serie A. They are determined to secure a place in next season’s Champions League. However, their path is challenging, with only a couple of relatively easy matches throughout the season. Despite their strong performance, Roma has seen some points slip away with recent draws against their rivals.

Inter Milan has also faced their share of challenges, struggling to maintain their dominance in recent derbies against AC Milan. They currently look to fend off Napoli‘s push for the title while keeping their own Champions League ambitions alive. With only one victory in their last six matchups against Roma at the San Siro, the stakes are considerable.

Both teams are dealing with injuries. Inter’s Marcus Thuram, who has been a standout forward, is battling a muscular issue, while Roma has seen emerging star Eldor Shomurodov step into a more critical role recently.

This encounter at the San Siro is more than just a match; it holds potential ramifications for both teams in their quests for the Champions League. With both sides desperate for a win, fans can expect a fiercely competitive clash.
