Inter Face Final-Day Test at Como with Title Hopes Hanging by a Thread

Inter have scored at least two goals in each of their last four meetings with Como, and they will need another strong attacking display as they chase a dramatic final-day Serie A title triumph.

One point behind Napoli heading into the final round of fixtures, Simone Inzaghi’s team must win at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia and hope Cagliari can take points off the leaders in Naples. You can follow the full Serie A title race prediction to see how both fixtures could shape the table.

Inter missed a huge opportunity last weekend when they were held to a 2-2 draw by Lazio at San Siro. They led twice but were pegged back by a determined Biancocelesti side, with Pedro equalising from the penalty spot deep into added time.

Napoli’s own draw with Parma kept things interesting, but Inter’s dropped points mean their fate is no longer fully in their control. Their focus now shifts to Como where nothing less than a win will do.

Cesc Fabregas has done a brilliant job guiding Como to a top-half finish in their first Serie A season since promotion. Taking over officially midway through the campaign, Fabregas has implemented a confident, possession-heavy style that has delivered results. Como extended their unbeaten run to eight matches last weekend with a 1-1 draw at Hellas Verona, thanks to a well-taken strike by Maxence Caqueret.

Despite the stakes, Inter could opt for slight rotation, with next week’s UEFA Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain looming large. Lautaro Martínez and Davide Frattesi have been training individually and may feature from the bench if deemed fit.

Como will again be without Sergi Roberto and Assane Diao, but the rest of the squad is fit and ready for one last test in what has been a successful return to the top flight. With nothing to lose and their fans behind them, Como could prove a real obstacle for the visitors.

Inter won the reverse fixture 2-0 and have beaten Como in each of their last four meetings. But with Fabregas’ side unbeaten in eight and confident at home, this will not be a straightforward task. Inter’s recent struggles to keep clean sheets also make this a game that could feature goals on both ends.

Regardless of what happens elsewhere, Inter must handle their business in Como. A win is the minimum requirement and then all eyes will turn to Naples, where Cagliari could yet be the unlikely kingmakers.

Our prediction: Inter will get the job done in a tense affair, winning 2-1 on the road. Whether that is enough to lift the trophy depends on what unfolds at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
