Inter vs Como Prediction & Betting Tips (23 December)

Without competition during the previous year, Inter easily won the Scudetto. The Lombard team hopes to achieve the back-to-back this season and today occupies 3rd place in Serie A with one game less and 3 points behind the leader. Since the start of the championship, the Nerazzurri have only lost to AC Milan on September 22, 0-1, for 10 wins and 4 draws. After conceding, at home, the sharing of points against Naples 1-1, they in turn won against Hellas Verona 0-5, Parma 3-1 and especially Lazio last Monday 0-6. This week, Inter booked their ticket to the quarter-finals of the Italian Cup by dominating Udinese 2-0. 6th in the Champions League, Simone Inzaghi's men are in a favorable position to reach the round of 16 directly.

Como is currently 16th in Serie A and is a small point ahead of the first relegated team. As expected, the promoted team will have to work hard to avoid a decline this season. Last weekend, Cesc Fabregas' men gave themselves a breath of fresh air by beating Roma 2-0. They thus ended a bad series of 9 matches without a victory, 4 draws and 5 defeats. Just before this success against the Louve club, Como failed to win against the bottom two in the standings, Monza 1-1 and Venice 2-2.

For Inter, it is necessary to mention the packages of the starting defenders Pavard and Acerbi as well as the replacement goalkeeper Di Gennaro. Added to this is the uncertainty surrounding the participation of the essential midfielder Barella. Still a scorer on the last day, French international Marcus Thuram (11 goals and 3 assists in SA) shines brightly. He could still be associated with captain Lautaro Martinez (5 goals and 2 assists in SA), who is less effective this season. Inter has the best attack in the championship.

On the Como side, the important midfielder Perrone and the potentially starting left-back Alberto Moreno are missing, insufficiently recovered from their physical problems. Argentine playmaker Nico Paz (20 years old, 2 goals and 3 assists in SA) shows great promise this season. He found the net against Roma. To occupy the forefront of the attack, Belotti (2 goals in SA) and Cutrone (4 goals in SA) are in the balance.
