Looking to take another giant leap towards recapturing their Serie A crown, Inter Milan will travel to Como on Sunday night.
Como
Starting with the hosts, embarking on what has been a public fairytale since making their iconic Serie A return last season, Como have rightfully received a string of plaudits from across the continent. Shattering a string of records this year, Cesc Fabregas’ side are at the heart of a famous Champions League chase. Opening this weekend’s fixtures sat in the top-four, the Lombardy-based outfit certainly find the mood in their camp at a real high. Despite eventually settling for a 0-0 stalemate away at Udinese on their return from March’s international break last week, they have astonishingly registered 16 points from their previous six Serie A appearances. Likewise, Fabregas’ high-flying squad have suffered just a single defeat from any of their previous 14 appearances across all competitions.

Suffering a long-term knee injury against Pisa prior to March’s international break, Como will once again be without Spanish youngster Jesus Rodriguez. Not featuring since the end of February, Fabregas’ side will be unable to call upon ex-AZ Alkmaar striker Jayden Addai.
Embarking on what has been a real rise to superstardom over the past 12 months and registering 16 direct goal contributions in his 30 La Liga appearances this season (10 goals, six assists), Argentinian starlet Nico Paz will play a leading role in attack.
Inter Milan
As for the visitors, while Inter Milan might have entered March’s international break in the midst of what was a downbeat rut, Cristian Chivu’s side certainly came roaring back in an empathic fashion last weekend. Marking their return with a thumping 5-2 victory at home against historic foes Roma, the Nerazzurri will be dreaming of a repeat performance here. Holding a commanding seven-point buffer at the top of the table ahead of Saturday’s trip to Lombardy, Inter are sat firmly in the driving seat to recapture their Serie A crown in 2026. However, despite claiming a much-welcomed boost last week, Chivu’s camp have registered just a sole win away from the San Siro across any competition since the start of February and they will be set for a stern examination in Lombardy.

Finding the net last week and notching a first strike since the start of February, Marcus Thuram will partner Martinez in the final third.
