What They're Saying

AS Roma manager Rudi Garcia (via Football Italia): "We can only judge Inter on their last two games. We know they have strong players, that they now have four at the back and studied them carefully, but the important thing is for us to play like Roma, so that we prevent Inter making the most of their strengths."

Inter Milan captain Andrea Ranocchia (via Football Italia): "I expect a great game, hard-fought between two teams at a high level. Rudi Garcia's Roma are a big team who play a European style of football. It is certainly going to be difficult, but I hope that we win."

Tactical Preview

Player to Watch: Ranocchia openly admitted his respect and fear of Francesco Totti's talents, and for good reason. In eight league appearances, the 38-year-old has two goals and 21 created chances.

AS Roma's Projected Lineup (4-3-3): De Sanctis; Maicon, Astori, Manolas, Holebas; Nainggolan,De Rossi, Pjanic; Iturbe, Totti, Gervinho

Inter Milan's Projected Lineup (4-3-1-2): Handanovic; Campagnaro, Ranocchia, Juan Jesus, Dodo; Guarin, Medel, Hernanes; Kovacic; Palacio, Icardi
