Inter Milan Prepares to Face Como in Exciting Match-up at San Siro
Marcus Thuram and Francesco Pio Esposito are set to spearhead Inter Milan’s attack against a formidable Como team this Sunday at San Siro. Meanwhile, Como will rely on the talents of Nico Paz and hat-trick scorer Tasos Douvikas.
The match kicks off at 18:00 CET [17:00 GMT] with Daniele Chiffi officiating.
Dubbed one of the highlights of the season, third-placed Inter enters the match with 25 points, just two ahead of Como, who could leapfrog Cristian Chivu’s squad with a victory. Both teams arrive with strong momentum: Inter rebounded from a recent derby loss, claiming a decisive 3-0 triumph over Feyenoord, while Como made headlines by achieving a historic 9-1 victory against Lens in the Champions League, marking the largest away win in the competition’s history.
For Inter, defender Alessandro Bastoni makes his return from suspension. John Stones and Curtis Jones have recovered from injuries but might start on the bench. Lautaro Martínez and Luis Henrique remain sidelined.
Como faces more injury challenges, as Assane Diao, Jesús Rodríguez, Moise Kean, and Addai are unable to play, and Trevoh Chalobah’s availability is also doubted.
Chivu has several lineup decisions to make. Reports indicate that Gazzetta may include Petar Sučić in midfield, while Goal suggests Piotr Zieliński could start following his goal in Rotterdam. The selections between Spence and Diouf, Dimarco and Carlos Augusto, as well as Esposito and Ange-Yoan Bonny, will also play a crucial role in shaping the starting eleven. For Como, Jean Butez is likely to remain in goal, with Martin Baturina favored over Maxence Caqueret.
