Como’s remarkable return to Serie A continues to impress, with a 1-1 draw against Verona last weekend extending their unbeaten run to nine matches and securing a top-half finish in their first season back in the top flight. While their six-game winning streak came to an end, the Lariani remain a dangerous opponent—especially at home—where they are unbeaten in their last six league fixtures (W4, D2), including a memorable 2-1 victory over Napoli.
With nothing to lose and a record of taking points off six of the current top-eight clubs, Como may relish the opportunity to play spoiler against Inter Milan on the final day. Their only loss to a top side in recent months was a narrow 2-1 defeat to AC Milan, while the reverse fixture against Inter ended in a 2-0 defeat. Still, with confidence soaring and the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia proving a fortress, the hosts will fancy their chances.
Inter Milan, meanwhile, are locked in a tense title race. Sitting just one point behind Napoli, the defending champions need a win and hope for a Napoli slip-up against Cagliari. Inter were frustrated in a 2-2 draw with Lazio last weekend—a result that denied them a move to the top of the table. Their recent league form has been inconsistent (W2, D1, L2), and with just two wins in their last eight away Serie A outings (D3, L3), Simone Inzaghi’s men will be wary of another potential stumble.
The Nerazzurri are chasing back-to-back titles for the first time since their iconic treble-winning 2009/10 campaign. But they will need to dig deep to overcome a Como side that has repeatedly defied expectations this season.
Players to Watch:
Gabriel Strefezza had his scoring streak halted last weekend, but the Como forward remains a key threat—particularly at home, where three of his last four goals have come. For Inter, wing-back Denzel Dumfries could be a decisive figure, with six of his seven Serie A goals this season coming after the break, five of which arrived in high-scoring encounters (4+ goals).
Hot Stat:
Inter have dropped points on the final day in just one of the last eight Serie A seasons (W7, D1), a record that underscores their ability to finish strong when it matters most.
All eyes will be on this high-stakes clash, as Como look to close their fairytale season on a high and Inter hope to keep their title dream alive.
