Inter Milan have also been less impressive this season and they have several weak points that may not have been solved, losing Piotr Zieliński will not have a big impact on Inter Milan because the coach has options in that position. When facing Torino he came on as a substitute and maybe Simone Inzaghi has options for that problem so losing him is not a big deal.
Inter Milan's performance at the beginning of this season was just inconsistent, I don't think there was anything else, they are still as strong as last season.
Of course, the injury suffered by Piotr Zieliński will not have a significant impact on the Inter Milan team because they have several other options for the midfield and although the injury suffered by Piotr Zieliński is a little detrimental to the team, that is the risk of the international break, there are some things that cannot be predicted to happen and can be detrimental to the team.
I see Inter still being the number one contender for the Scudetto title this season, despite big changes from rivals like Milan, Juventus, or Napoli. Unlike the other three opponents, Inter still has stability in both the coaching bench and personnel.
It can be seen that neither tactical factors nor the absence of Piotr Zieliński affected the club's performance. But I think the lethargy and negative attitude are what made Inter lose points. One of the reasons could be complacency as Inter still consider themselves the number 1 candidate for the Scudetto this season. It means Inter needs to be serious and maintain focus in every match.
Being second with a two-point gap to Napoli should make Simone Inzaghi look for ways to get a win in the next match. Facing Roma is a good moment to maintain the opportunity to shift Napoli's position because in another match Napoli will visit Empoli's headquarters.
To face Roma in the next match of course it will not be easy but Inter Milan has a great chance of winning the match and I think for what is seen in the standings at this time there is still nothing because it is still early in the season.
I think in this match the difference between the two teams recently is huge. Inter are on a whole other level. And Inter are in dire need of wins to regain the top spot, it's not difficult to predict they will win this match. However, Roma is also in the good defensive group of the tournament. Therefore, we can trust in a low-scoring scenario in the upcoming match.
