Como compete with Juventus, Roma and Atalanta for one European place. The game carries significance for both clubs.

Recent form

Inter hammered Roma 5-2 last weekend at San Siro. Lautaro Martinez marked his return by scoring within the first minute.

Martinez later added a third goal. Hakan Calhanoglu scored from about 30 yards. Marcus Thuram completed a headed goal and provided two assists.

AC Milan lost to Napoli, leaving Napoli as Inter’s closest challengers. They trail by seven points with seven matches to play.

Como were held 0-0 by Udinese earlier this week, ending a five-match winning run. They have won their last three league games at home.

Those three home wins yielded ten goals. Como’s 2026 form has been strong, aided by recent investment.

Since Como’s return to Serie A, Inter have won all three league meetings by an 8-0 aggregate score. Como last beat Inter in December 1985.

Team news
