Como’s unbeaten streak faces a formidable challenge as they welcome title-chasing Inter Milan to the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia this Friday evening. This Serie A clash brings together two sides with contrasting ambitions: Como, currently 10th, aim to extend their impressive seven-match unbeaten run, while second-placed Inter are determined to secure vital points in their pursuit of the Scudetto. Adding to the intrigue, Como boast a six-match unbeaten home record, a statistic that could prove pivotal against one of Italy’s footballing powerhouses.
Inter Milan have historically dominated this fixture, winning the last three meetings without conceding a goal. This psychological advantage could weigh on Como, who have struggled to breach Inter’s defence in recent encounters. Inter’s attacking strength is evident in their away form, where they average 1.76 goals per match this season. However, Como’s consistency in front of goal—scoring in 14 consecutive games—suggests they are capable of testing Inter’s backline, particularly during their favoured late first-half period, where 29% of their goals have been scored.
Key players are likely to play a decisive role in this encounter. For Como, Assane Diao has been a standout performer, contributing eight goals this season and providing a constant attacking threat. Meanwhile, Marcus Thuram spearheads Inter’s title charge with 14 goals, making him a crucial figure in their quest for glory. With both teams heavily reliant on their star players, moments of individual brilliance could tip the balance.
For Como, the only real motivation is to continue their good run and keep building momentum as they end their first Serie A season in fine style. The stakes are firmly with Inter Milan - the visitors know that a draw will only be enough if Napoli lose to Cagliari. With that being very unlikely, they need to win and hope Napoli can only draw.
