Como meets Inter in decisive top-of-the-table battle.

Calcio Como vs. Inter Milan begins at 19:45 [GMT+1] on Sunday, April 12, at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia.

This clash pits one of the season’s surprise packages against the division’s most consistent force. Como, sitting 4th with 58 points, have exceeded expectations with a campaign built on resilience and attacking intent. Como’s recent form has been particularly impressive. They are unbeaten in their last seven Serie A matches and have lost just four of their previous 29 league outings. At home, they have been especially effective, winning their last three matches while scoring at least two goals in each. Their attacking approach is further highlighted by the fact that over 2.5 goals have been scored in the majority of their recent home fixtures, suggesting an open and forward-thinking style. However, this will be a significantly tougher test against an Inter side that combines attacking firepower with defensive discipline. Nevertheless, bouncing back to winning ways following a goalless draw with Udinese remains one of the objectives here as Como continues the race for a top four finish. A 4—2—3—1 formation with Anastasios Douvikas in attack is expected against Inter. Patrick Cutrone is suspended for Sunday’s top-of-the-table battle.

Inter, meanwhile, lead the table with 72 points and continue to demonstrate why they are firm title favourites following a 5-2 win over Roma last time out. Having put an end to a three-game winless run [WLDDW], Inter are now hoping to claim successive victories with Sunday’s trip to Como. On the road, they have been dominant, winning 14 of their 21 matches on the road this season. Their ability to control games and convert chances has been key, averaging over two goals per match in the league. Historically, Inter have had the upper hand in this fixture. They have won multiple meetings by comfortable margins and, perhaps more tellingly, have kept clean sheets in each of their last five encounters against Como in Serie A. Inter also arrive in formidable overall form, having avoided defeat in 18 of their last 19 league matches. Their consistency at both ends of the pitch makes them a difficult side to disrupt, even for in-form opponents like Como. While Inter appear to have the edge based on quality, experience, and historical record, Como’s form suggests they are more than capable of making this a competitive and entertaining encounter. The familiar 3—5—2 formation with Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram in attack is expected against Como. Carlos Augusto rejoins the squad following a suspension.
