--------------------------------------
Inter Milan
Inter Milan will face Como with a strong lineup, but some notable absences remain. Defensive stalwarts Benjamin Pavard and Francesco Acerbi are still sidelined due to ongoing fitness concerns. Additionally, influential midfielder Nicolo Barella, who is dealing with a thigh issue, is unlikely to feature in this match but could return for upcoming fixtures against Cagliari and in the Supercoppa Italiana.
Manager Simone Inzaghi is set to recall key players Marcus Thuram and Lautaro Martinez, with the latter aiming to rediscover his best form at San Siro. Mehdi Taremi and Marko Arnautovic, who featured in the midweek Coppa Italia fixture, will make way for the dynamic attacking duo.
Inzaghi is expected to deploy a 3-5-2 formation. Yann Sommer will guard the goal, shielded by a back three comprising Yann Bisseck, Stefan de Vrij, and Alessandro Bastoni. Denzel Dumfries and Federico Dimarco will occupy the wing-back roles, offering width and contributing to both defensive and offensive phases.
In midfield, Davide Frattesi, Hakan Calhanoglu, and Henrikh Mkhitaryan will orchestrate play and provide creative impetus. Up front, captain Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram will lead the attack, aiming to penetrate Como’s defence with their movement and finishing abilities.
Como 1907
Como 1907 will travel to the Giuseppe Meazza without Maximo Perrone, Alberto Moreno, and Marco Sala due to injuries. The absence of Moreno and Sala means that Federico Barba is likely to reprise his role at left-back, where he may face the daunting task of handling Inter’s dynamic wing-back Denzel Dumfries.
Meanwhile, Nico Paz, who has been linked with a move to Inter Milan and other top clubs, has been a key player for Como this season, contributing two goals and three assists in Serie A, making him the joint-top contributor for the team alongside Patrick Cutrone.
However, former AC Milan striker Patrick Cutrone, despite his history with San Siro, is expected to start on the bench. His recent dip in form has seen manager Cesc Fabregas favour Andrea Belotti in the lone striker role. The visitors will rely on their young stars and experienced players to stand a chance against the reigning champions.
Cesc Fabregas is expected to deploy a 4-2-3-1 formation. Veteran goalkeeper Pepe Reina will start between the posts, shielded by a backline of Ignace Van der Brempt at right-back, Edoardo Goldaniga and Marc-Oliver Kempf as the centre-back pairing, and Federico Barba on the left.
In midfield, Lucas Da Cunha and Sergi Roberto will operate as the double pivot, providing both defensive cover and transition play. The attacking midfield trio will feature Gabriel Strefezza on the right, Nico Paz in the central creative role, and Alieu Fadera on the left, supporting Andrea Belotti as the lone striker upfront.
Inter Milan possible starting lineup:
Sommer; Bisseck, De Vrij, Bastoni; Dumfries, Frattesi, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Martinez, Thuram
Como possible starting lineup:
Reina; Van der Brempt, Goldaniga, Kempf, Barba; Da Cunha, Roberto; Strefezza, Paz, Fadera; Belotti
Inter Milan vs Como Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
There is not much history between the two sides and they have met 35 times in all competitions. As expected, the hosts have the upper hand in these meetings with 23 wins. The visitors have six wins and six games have ended in draws.
Inter are unbeaten in their last 11 meetings against the visitors and secured a league double with an aggregate score of 6-0 when the two teams last met in the 2002-03 season.
Inter Milan have the best attacking record in Serie A this season, scoring 40 goals in 15 games.
Como are winless in away meetings against Inter since 1950.
The hosts are on a seven-game winning streak against the visitors in Serie A, keeping five clean sheets.
Prediction: Inter Milan 3-0 Como
Only free-scoring Atalanta have attempted more shots than Inter (233) and Como (232) in Serie A this season, so it could be an entertaining contest when they meet for the first time in more than 20 years. With an abundance of hard-earned nous and experience, the Nerazzurri should sweep past their promoted opponents, who can be made to pay for their naivety.
