Inter vs Como Prediction

📢 What can we expect from the clash between Inter and Como in the 14th round of the Italian Championship? All eyes will be on the game at the Giuseppe Meazza. Over the past two years, Como have transformed beyond recognition, delivering high-quality football and striving to dominate every match. Inter, on the other hand, remain a model of consistency, confidently holding their position at the top of the table. With only three points separating the teams, this encounter promises to be a real battle.

Head-to-Head

📊 The head-to-head history between Inter and Como includes just 2 matches over the past 20 years. Both encounters took place last season, each ending with the same scoreline of 2-0 in favor of one of the giants of Italian football.

Inter Milano Team Overview

🔵 Following their defeats to Milan (0-1) in the league and Atletico Madrid (1-2) in the Champions League, Inter needed some "straightforward" matches to regain their confidence. And that's exactly what they got: on November 30, the Nerazzurri faced Pisa, a Serie A newcomer, and on December 3, they met Venezia in the Coppa Italia – a team from the second tier. Inter were clear favorites in both encounters and lived up to expectations, securing convincing wins of 2-0 and 5-1 respectively. The match against Venezia was particularly telling: throughout the game, it seemed there was only one team on the pitch. Inter dominated every aspect, creating eight scoring chances and could have easily kept a clean sheet, but conceded during the opponent's only truly dangerous attack.

⚫ From a standings perspective, things are looking favorable as well. After 13 matches, Inter have accumulated 27 points and are just one point shy of the top spot. However, the competition behind them is tight: they are only three points ahead of sixth place. Therefore, dropping points in upcoming fixtures is highly undesirable, as it could quickly push them out of the top four.

Como 1907 Team Overview

🔵 Just a couple of years ago, it was hard to imagine Como vying for a spot in the Champions League zone. Yet the reality is that the team is showcasing a level of football comparable to Inter, Milan, and Napoli. Over 13 rounds, the "Larians" have suffered just one defeat and collected 24 points. They trail league leaders Milan by four points, making it reasonable to include Como in the title race.

⚪ Their latest match was telling. Last weekend, Como confidently defeated Sassuolo at home (2-0). The hosts excelled in all key areas—controlling the game, creating chances, and applying effective pressure down the flanks. Given their complete dominance, it would have been unjust if the team had dropped points in such a match.

Latest news

Inter Milano

📣 Inter's head coach, Cristian Chivu, highlighted the team's excellent mindset following their emphatic 5-1 victory over Venezia: "I appreciated the attitude and respect the guys showed towards the opponent. I was confident they would be motivated and eager to confirm the stability we've been building in recent months." The coach particularly praised the debutants and young players, noting that the win was a well-deserved reward for the team's hard work: "I'm happy for those who played at San Siro for the first time – the U-23 guys, as well as Andy Diouf, who played the full 90 minutes and scored a goal. We had many reasons to celebrate today."

🚫 Inter are dealing with minor squad issues, though some do not affect the selection significantly. Denzel Dumfries and Matteo Darmian are still recovering from muscle injuries but are expected to return by mid-December. Backup goalkeeper Raffaele Di Gennaro is also questionable as he recovers from a hand fracture, but under normal circumstances, he would unlikely be on the pitch anyway.

Como 1907

📣 Como's head coach, Cesc Fabregas, chose to remain composed after their 2-0 victory over Sassuolo, despite the excitement surrounding the win: "Let's stay calm and keep our feet on the ground... But stopping the celebration is impossible: a 2-0 victory over Sassuolo is a step towards Europe!" The Spaniard reminded everyone that the team's progress is the result of a long journey: "This journey began several years ago... We've been together as a team for just two years, but we've already advanced much further than I expected."

🚫 Como face a few setbacks. Alberto Dossena and Edoardo Goldaniga will be sidelined until mid-December—the former is recovering from a cruciate ligament injury, while the latter is dealing with a heel issue. The participation of Sergi Roberto and Assan Diao remains uncertain as they undergo rehabilitation for muscle injuries.

⚽️ Goal Predictions

⚽️ Goal Predictions

Both teams are impressive in attack. The Nerazzurri have already netted 28 goals, the best tally in the league, showcasing their forward prowess. The Larians also shine in the attacking half, with 19 goals, placing them fourth in terms of scoring. Both sides favor an aggressive approach and avoid sitting back in defense. Therefore, betting on both teams to score (yes) appears to be the most logical option.

🚩 Corner Predictions

Inter have firmly established themselves at the top of the Serie A standings for corners earned since the early rounds and continue to hold that lead. Their aggressive playing style and constant pressure on the opposition's goal see them averaging 7.3 corners per match. At home, their numbers are even higher, making a bet on Inter's total over 5.5 corners a sensible choice.
