Como vs Inter: match preview
Both teams head into this match with tremendous motivation, as each has a clear objective they are fighting for.
Como sit fourth in the Serie A table, having collected 58 points from 31 matches. This position currently secures them a place in the UEFA Champions League zone. However, their closest challengers are just one point behind the side managed by Cesc Fabregas, meaning they must continue to pick up points, including in a difficult clash against Inter.
Inter, who currently lead the table, have not yet secured the title. They are in a strong position, holding a seven-point advantage over second place, but this encounter against Como promises to be both difficult and crucial. Another concern is the absence of Lautaro Martinez, who has picked up another injury and will miss this match. Consistency has also been an issue, with Inter recording just one win in their last five matches. Notably, they secured a 5-2 victory over Roma last week.
Probable line-ups
- Como: Butez; Smolcic, Carlos, Kempf, Valle; Perrone, Da Cunha; Vojvoda, Paz, Baturina; Douvikas
- Inter Milan: Sommer; Akanji, Acerbi, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Zielinski, Dimarco; Thuram, Esposito
Prediction
Both Como and Inter are highly motivated, and this is an extremely important match for both sides. It is clear that each team is capable of winning and will push hard to do so. I suggest a bet on both teams to score in this game.
