Como vs Inter Milan Preview

Como are enjoying their best-ever campaign this season, and have now reached the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia for the first time. Spending money has brought them great results, and credit must go to Fabregas and his men. Como have beaten some top teams this season, like Juventus and will be confident going into this fixture.

Unfortunately, their record against Inter has been very poor, as earlier this season they faced a humiliating defeat against them. They are aiming to finish in the top four in Serie A, while looking to get their spot in the finals of the Coppa Italia. The home team will have to be at their best to make sure they get a good result in the first leg.

On the other hand, Cristian Chivu and his side got eliminated from the Champions League by Bodo/Glimt. They are already on course to claim the Scudetto, but their quest to reach the next stages of the Champions League was finished a few days back. They do have a great chance of winning the double this season, but they have to overcome the challenges of Como first. They have knocked out Venezia and Torino to reach this stage and are very much capable of beating Como to book their spot for the finals. They have a great record against Como and the fans can expect this to be a high-scoring fixture. This will be a mouthwatering clash for sure.
