Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Serie A match.
Como's impressive unbeaten streak, now stretching to eight matches since mid-March, indicates that they are in a strong position to retain their Serie A status. While Como are unlikely to concede points without a fight, Inter Milan boast greater squad depth and drive — factors that could ultimately tip the balance.
Como
Last Sunday, Como narrowly avoided defeat away to Hellas Verona, earning a 1:1 draw despite conceding 1.55 xGA over the 90 minutes. With Assane Diao, Sergi Roberto, and Alberto Dossena out through injury, Cesc Fàbregas is operating with a limited bench. The Spanish manager is also expected to hand José Manuel Reina some playing time, as the 42-year-old goalkeeper prepares to retire at the end of the season. Across 18 home fixtures this campaign, Como have generated 26.15 xG — the 11th-best total in the division.
Inter Milan
Inter Milan have made a strong start to May, recording three consecutive wins and securing a spot in the UEFA Champions League final — their second appearance in the competition’s showpiece in three seasons. A 2:2 draw at home to Lazio may have cost them the league’s top position, but Inter Milan dominated proceedings, creating 1.59 xG. On the road, Inter Milan have netted 37 goals in 18 matches — a tally surpassed only by Atalanta’s 42.
Como vs Inter Milan Prediction
Earlier this season, Inter Milan recorded a 2:0 victory over Como at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza with a rotated squad. They are expected to generate enough chances to secure another win away from home, although even three points might not be sufficient to clinch the Scudetto.
