Overview
- Gian Piero Gasperini said Roma’s plan was to win the Scudetto within three years and that an earlier title would be welcome, comments he made ahead of Roma’s Matchday 6 trip to Como this weekend.
- Sky Sport reports Gasperini is set to rest Argentina internationals Leonardo Balerdi and Matías Soulé at Como, which would keep Paulo Dybala and other regularly available players in the starting XI.
- Inter, level on 13 points with Roma and Lazio, host Parma on Saturday with new coach Alberto Gilardino making his competitive debut and Cristian Chivu considering leaving Lautaro Martínez on the bench because of the striker’s heavy Argentina workload.
- Statistically the fixtures favour open games: Inter have scored 15 and conceded eight in five matches producing high‑scoring home results, while Parma have struggled away and have not beaten Inter in their last nine league meetings.
- This weekend’s rotation choices matter beyond the immediate table because Roma also return to Champions League action midweek and squad management now shapes both short‑term momentum and the clubs’ ability to sustain a title challenge.
