Como (Home)
Como are unbeaten in five Serie A matches (W3, D2), with their last two results being a 0-0 draw at Udinese and 5-0 win over Pisa at home.
Inter (Away)
- Inter have won just one of their last five Serie A games (D3, L1) but beat Roma 5-2 at home last time out.
- In 31 matches, Inter lead Serie A with 72 points, while Como sit fourth with 58 points.
- Inter’s away form is excellent and they have the superior firepower in this game, so they are the best bet in the results markets.
Head-to-Head
- Cesc Fabregas and Cristian Chivu are two of the most highly-rated coaches in world soccer right now, and the contrast between their respective tactical approaches will make for a fascinating matchup in Serie A 2025-2026 on Sunday.
- The former Barca and Chelsea playmaker has taken his Guardiola-inspired 4-3-3 system and adapted it to the players at his disposal at Calcio Como, instilling a fluid and technical style of soccer that combines vertical passing with positional discipline.
- Chivu has taken a contrasting approach with Inter, who are defined by their collective pressing and structured defensive lines as much as their explosive counterattacks, which take advantage of the space created by the Inter wing-backs and the pacey forward line.
Key Players
- Lautaro Martinez has been the most prolific forward in Serie A this term, bagging 16 goals in just 26 appearances, but Anastasios Douvikas has made a pretty good fist of things for Como with 11 strikes in 31 matches.
- He is Como’s consistent goal threat and, in a top-tier matchup against Inter, his quality could be the difference between success and failure.
Betting Insights
- While Inter are strong favorites for this game at 2.18, the odds seem a little too short for a team who have won just one of their last five matches (W1, D3, L1), and for a Como side who are unbeaten in their last five Serie A matches (W3, D2) and have won nine of 16 Serie A home matches this term (D5, L2).
- Como average 1.94 goals per home match in Serie A this year and Inter are the league’s best away team, so with both sides likely to get forward, over 2.5 goals looks a good bet at 1.85.
- ‘No’ is the selection in the both teams to score market at 2.15, as Como will find it hard to break down the league leaders.
Prediction
- But Chivu’s side have failed to win any of their last three away league games (D2, L1) and Como have been in great form at home lately, so they could keep it tight in the early stages before Inter’s firepower sees them through.
- A 2-0 Inter win appeals in the correct score market as this should be a cagey matchup with Como yet to beat Inter at home (D1, L1).
