Inter enter this Coppa Italia semifinal second leg clash as clear favorites on paper, but Como’s rise over the past two seasons suggests this tie may not be as one-sided as it first appears. With Inter balancing domestic and European commitments, and Como thriving as an organized, efficient underdog, this clash presents an intriguing tactical and statistical battle.

Club Friendlies 1
Historically, Inter have dominated this fixture, with Como rarely managing positive results in competitive meetings. However, their most recent encounter in Serie A was an entertaining one, with Como repeatedly showing why they are in the race for Champions League qualification next season, as they put up a tremendous fight in a 4-3 defeat just over a week ago. The first leg clash between the sides ended in a 0-0 draw.
Inter team overview
Inter’s recent form has been strong, particularly in cup competitions, where they have averaged over 2.0 goals per game across their last five outings. In general, the Nerazzurri have found an extra gear in recent weeks in Serie A, winning three games in a row, including a 4-3 victory away at Como, which has once again put them in pole position to win the Scudetto.
However, rotation could play a role here. With a congested schedule, Inter are likely to manage minutes carefully, which may impact fluency. Injury concerns have slightly affected depth, particularly in midfield, where one or two regular starters have been dealing with minor fitness issues. Despite this, Inter’s squad depth remains superior, and their ability to control games through possession (often exceeding 55-60%) should allow them to dictate tempo.
Andy Diouf, Ange-Yoan Bonny, and Marcus Thuram have each contributed two goals in this season’s Coppa Italia.

Como team overview
Como would have come into this semifinal with momentum had it not been for two successive league defeats, as they lost narrowly to both Inter and Sassuolo. In general, Cesc Fàbregas’ men have built a reputation as a defensively structured side capable of frustrating stronger opponents. That was precisely the case in the first-leg matchup with Inter, which ended goalless, with Como almost completely nullifying Inter’s attacking threat and limiting them to just three shots on target over the full 90 minutes.
They rely heavily on transitions and set pieces, where a notable percentage of their goals have originated this season. Their away form has been mixed, with fewer wins on the road and a noticeable drop in attacking output.
Injury-wise, Como are relatively stable, though squad depth remains a concern. A lack of high-level rotation options could become problematic if they are forced to defend for long periods, which is likely against an Inter side that excels at sustaining pressure. Anastasios Douvikas leads their scoring charts with three goals in this season’s Coppa Italia.

Prediction
Expect Inter to create the bulk of chances, while Como look to capitalize on isolated opportunities. Over the course of 90 minutes, Inter’s depth and attacking consistency should prove decisive, but Como are more than capable of causing problems for Inter’s defence, as they proved in an entertaining 4-3 thriller a week ago in Serie A.
Prediction: Both Teams to Score (BTTS).
Three reasons we expect BTTS
- The most recent head-to-head meeting between the sides produced a total of seven goals, with both teams getting on the scoresheet.
- Although Como are more restricted in attack when playing away from home, they are still capable of scoring - they have found the net in four of their last five Serie A away outings.
- BTTS has landed in seven of Inter’s last nine matches across all competitions.
