Inter Milan vs Como Match Summary

Third hosts fourth at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on Sunday, and this Serie A fixture has real bite: a Como win would lift them above Inter on the log.

Inter slipped off top spot after losing the derby, but answered with a 3-0 win away to Feyenoord in the Champions League and now want that bite back in the league.

Como arrive flying. Cesc Fàbregas's side hammered Lens 9-1 last time out, and they have won their last six official matches on the bounce.

History sits firmly with the home side, though: Inter have won 8 of their last 9 matches against Como in all competitions.

Inter Milan vs Como Form

Seven of Inter's last eight Serie A games have produced over 2.5 goals, so nothing stubborn about this lot. The derby loss stung, but the Champions League reply away to Feyenoord was emphatic. With Lautaro Martínez out, Marcus Thuram carries the load, scoring in five of the last eight Serie A games he has played.

Como have won their last four Serie A matches, and that rout in Lens showed they can do damage in Europe too. Nico Paz is the heartbeat, and eight of his last nine Serie A outings have brought three or more attempts at goal. The catch: doubts remain right across the side after the Champions League exertions.

Inter Milan

The good news in the Inter Milan vs Como lineups is that Chivu has Stones and Jones back, leaving only Lautaro Martínez and Luis Henrique unavailable. Bastoni returns in defence after serving his Champions League suspension. Diouf and Spence are fighting for the right flank, with Dimarco and Carlos Augusto contesting the left, while Zieliński plays in the engine room. Up front, Pio Esposito partners Marcus Thuram.

Como

Doubts remain all over the park for Fàbregas after the Champions League fatigue. Butez is ahead of Sanchez in goal, while Kaiki and Valle are battling for the left-back spot. Da Cunha is favoured over Caqueret in midfield, although Caqueret could yet come in for Liberali in the attacking line. Chalobah, Diao, Addai, Jesús Rodríguez and Moise Kean are still sidelined.

Inter Milan vs Como Prediction & Best Bets

Our prediction: Our Inter Milan vs Como prediction is a 2-2 draw. Inter are the favourites on paper and have home advantage, but they leave space when teams run at their flanks, and Como have the attacking quality to punish that. Both sides want the ball and play through the middle, so expect an open game where neither defence gets much rest.

Best Bets

Andy Diouf to have over 0.5 shots on target in the Player Shots On Target market. He is expected to start on the right wing for the home favourites. Inter love attacking down the flanks, and Diouf should see plenty of the ball on the right in an open, high-scoring game. He is in a straight fight with Spence for the spot, so check the team sheet before kick-off.

Over 2.5 goals in the Total Goals Over/Under market. This one sits neatly alongside our 2-2 call. Both sides struggle to stop opponents creating, both have plenty of attacking quality, and our projected total of 3.3 goals clears this line comfortably.

Inter Milan vs Como Bet Builder

Our Inter Milan vs Como bet builder tips back a shootout: Inter to score twice, Thuram to keep shooting, Como to nick it and Petar Sučić to hit the target.

Inter Over 1.5 in the Total Home Goals market has landed in 7 of the last 8, and the Thuram and Pio Esposito pairing gives them a proper focal point.

Marcus Thuram Over 2.5 shots has come in six times from his last nine outings. With Lautaro Martínez out, more of Inter's final balls are heading his way.

Como to win is the brave leg, but it has landed in each of their last 4 matches. Their run says they are not coming to the Meazza to sit deep.

Petar Sučić Over 0.5 shots on target has paid out on four of the last five occasions. He is not in either predicted XI, so this leg depends on him getting minutes.

Inter Milan vs Como Talking Points

Fàbregas has called Inter "the strongest team in Italy", and Sunday will show whether Como belong at that level. The key battle is out wide. Inter love attacking down the flanks but are shaky defending them, while Como like to go down the right through Yan Couto. That puts Inter's left wing-back, probably Dimarco, under pressure at both ends. In the middle, Nico Paz against Çalhanoğlu and Barella decides who controls the ball, because both teams build through possession and short passing. Set pieces could settle it too. Inter are strong in the air and from dead balls, and Como have struggled in aerial duels, so keep an eye on Bastoni, Akanji and Bisseck in the box. The Inter Milan vs Como betting odds tell their own story: Inter's price has drifted since the market opened while Como have been backed in, and the away side have earned that respect.
