Como vs Inter Milan Prediction: Fabregas puts his foot on the gas

Inter Milan travel to Como in Serie A (19:45 BST, DAZN) as they look to solidify their place atop the Italian top flight. Meanwhile, at a time for introspection across the Calciosphere, Cesc Fabregas is showing there is another way at over-achieving Como. 

Read on for my Como vs Inter Milan predictions with the latest team news and match odds.

Team News

It might have been Easter last weekend but there’s no sign of Jesus Rodriguez pulling off the recovery that his namesake managed. A knee issue confines him to the sidelines, where he is joined by Jayden Addai and Adrian Lahdo.

Attacking duo Lautaro Martinez and Marco Thuram are both awaiting assessment for knocks while Alessandro Bastoni is touch-and-go for the visitors with an ankle problem.

Football Odds

Como vs Inter Milan Odds

Como are backed at 2/1 for this encounter with the league leaders. Inter are priced at 5/4 while the draw is marketed at 5/2.

The goalscoring front-runners are the in-doubt Thuram and Martinez, but if you fancy a likely starter then Tasos Douvikas is marketed at 11/2 to net first or 15/8 to do so anytime.

Como to win @ 2/1

It is always tough to pick against the league leaders, but Como are in better form than Inter. They are also the home side, which cannot be discounted when picking a winner in a tight game such as this.

Fabregas has received plaudits in Italy for his approach and some have even cited him as an example to be followed given the decay of the Italy men’s national team. Given the way his team have swept aside the likes of Juventus and Roma while holding AC Milan to a 1-1 draw, the Arsenal midfielder might just have enough in his notebook to get the job done here.

Both teams to score @ 8/11

Both sides have scored in Inter’s last three Serie A outings. The same can be said for three of Como’s last five outings. With confidence high in both camps and, crucially, the underdogs enjoying home advantage, I can see the same story playing out in this match.

Inter are the league’s top scorers with a staggering 71 goals. Como are third in the scoring charts, having bagged one less goal than second-best Juventus. This match should feature plenty of goalmouth action to savour.
