Inter Milan vs Como Preview
- Date: Monday, December 23r4
- Kick-off Time: 7:45 pm GMT
- Venue: San Siro, Milan, Italy
Matchday 17 of the Serie A 2024/25 season will include defending champions, Inter Milan welcoming Como at the San Siro on Monday evening. Inter Milan booked a place in the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia with a comfortable 2-0 victory over Udinese recently. Como, on the other hand, recorded a historical win over Roma and is currently in the 16th position in the league. The Inter Milan vs Como fixture should be a walk in the park for the defending champions.
Inter Milan has suffered only a single defeat in the last 16 matches. Simone Inzaghi’s effective machine has managed to replicate the success of last season so far. Inter Milan is in third place in the league with 34 points from 15 matches. If the club wins their game in hand, Inter will sit at the summit. Inter Milan has scored 12 goals in the last five matches and has also been awarded the most penalties in the league (five). Not many can argue against the claim that Inter Milan will once again lift the Scudetto at the end of the season.
Como will be disappointed and discontent with how the recent matches have played out. In the last six games, the club has managed a single victory along with three defeats and a draw. After some encouraging results at the beginning of the season, Como has fallen off the pace. The management oversaw an ambitious project in the summer and has managed to acquire some of the most potent players in the world. Como’s objective will be to avoid relegation and keep improving at all times for the remainder of the campaign.
Inter Milan Team News
Stefan de Vrij has done an impressive job so far filling in for Francesco Acerbi. The Italian centre-back is scheduled to return later this month. His fellow defender, Benjamin Pavard is also ruled out due to a hamstring injury. Backup goalkeeper, Raffaele Di Gennaro will also remain on the sidelines. Inzaghi is unlikely to involve Nicolo Barella in the fixture with the midfielder suffering from a minor muscle injury.
Como Team News
Alberto Moreno, Marco Sala, and Maximo Perrone will be the names on Como’s injury list. Nico Paz is set to start as the number 10 as the principal creator.

Key Players to Watch in Inter Milan vs Como
Nico Paz (Como)
Nico Paz is considered one of the most talented players to come out of the Real Madrid academy in recent years. The Argentinian decided to leave the club this summer due to difficulties in breaking into the first team. Como decided to take advantage of the situation and grab his signature with Madrid retaining 50% of his rights. Nico Paz leads the other Serie A midfielders in several metrics like most key passes, most expected, and most dribbles amongst others. Real Madrid will seriously consider bringing back Paz next year. The 20-year-old is also linked to a move to Inter so the coming game will be a golden opportunity for the scouts to ignite concrete interest in him.
Lautaro Martinez (Inter Milan)
Despite Inter’s free goalscoring form this season, Lautaro Martinez will be one of those who will be unsatisfied with his numbers. The Argentinian had a memorable 2023/24 season, winning the Serie A as well as the Copa Americ Golden Boot. This season he has only five goals and two assists at the moment. The statistics do not necessarily reflect his contribution and importance to the team. Simone Inzaghi will be looking to keep Martinez in the playing XI so that he can add to his goal tally.
Inter Milan vs Como Prediction
Como will have a daunting task in front of itself on Monday. Inter is on a tremendous run of form and will also have the support of the home crowd. A comfortable and massive victory for the hosts is on the cards.
Predicted Score: Inter Milan 4-0 Como
