Inter Milan vs Como prediction 08.11.2026 | Serie A

Inter had once again been leading the Scudetto race until suffering a crushing 3-1 defeat to their fierce city rivals AC Milan in the Derby della Madonnina. As a result, the Nerazzurri have slipped to second place, with Lazio overtaking them in the Serie A standings, at least for the time being.

However, they responded positively in midweek, recording a 3-0 Champions League victory away to Feyenoord.

Their home performances have been particularly impressive. Inter have won all five of their league fixtures at the Giuseppe Meazza, scoring 17 goals in the process. Their attacking output and ability to create scoring opportunities should make this a fascinating encounter, particularly given Como's outstanding recent form.

Regarding team news, Lautaro Martínez is expected to remain unavailable with a thigh injury, while Benjamin Pavard, Luis Henrique and Curtis Jones are also among the reported absentees. John Stones is another injury concern. Federico Dimarco, Piotr Zieliński and Pio Esposito are expected to feature after returning to contention for starting positions.

Como have enjoyed an outstanding start to the campaign and currently occupy fourth place with 23 points. Their recent form has been particularly encouraging, with four consecutive league victories against Fiorentina, Sassuolo, Torino and Venezia. 

To make matters even more impressive, Cesc Fàbregas' men have been enjoying a remarkable run in Europe's elite competition as well. They have not only inflicted a 4-1 defeat on Manchester United but also matched the record for the biggest-ever Champions League victory by thrashing French side Lens 9-1 on Wednesday night.

Their away performances have also been productive, with 13 goals scored across six league trips.

Assane Diao, Jayden Addai and Jesús Rodríguez are among the players facing fitness concerns, while Alieu Fadera is another reported absentee. However, Nico Paz and Anastasios Douvikas should provide considerable attacking threat if selected.
