Como – Inter: match preview
This is the first semi-final of the 2025/26 Coppa Italia. Both sides will be determined to secure an advantage in the opening leg.
Como began their Coppa Italia campaign from the second round. They defeated Südtirol 3:1, then dismantled Sassuolo 3:0, overcame Fiorentina 3:1 and edged Napoli 2:1. Como currently sit fifth in Serie A, with 48 points after 27 rounds, just three points adrift of fourth place. That means the race for a UEFA Champions League spot is very much alive, yet their prospects in the cup also look highly promising.
Inter are cruising in Serie A. After 27 matches, they have amassed 67 points, sitting top of the table with a ten-point cushion over second place. They have been eliminated from the UEFA Champions League, leaving them to focus solely on the league and the domestic cup. Inter entered the Coppa Italia at the Round of 16 stage, where they thrashed Venezia 5:1, then defeated Torino 2:1 to book their place in the semi-finals.
Probable line-ups
- Como: Butez; Smolcic, Ramon, Carlos, Valle; Perrone, Da Cunha; Vojvoda, Paz, Rodriguez; Douvikas
- Inter Milan: Martinez; Bisseck, Akanji, Bastoni; Henrique, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Thuram, Esposito
Prediction
Both teams will undoubtedly be motivated to claim an advantage in the first leg. I suggest a bet on both teams to score in this match.
