Inter-Como is a match valid for the 14th day of Serie A: the two teams take the field at the San Siro at 6 p.m. The Nerazzurri are third on 27 points, and after the knockout in the derby with Milan they got back on track, winning in Pisa and overwhelming Venezia in the Coppa Italia. Chivu’s team remains the top scoring team in the league, with 28 goals scored in 13 games. Fabregas’s Como is living an extremely positive period: the last defeat dates back to August 30, and the Larians after the last two consecutive victories have climbed up to fifth place in the standings, -3 from the Champions zone.

Inter with Marcus Thuram and Lautaro Martinez as the offensive tandem, Pio Esposito and Bonny will again start from the bench. The flanks will be manned by Carlos Augusto and Dimarco; Dumfries and Darmian are still unavailable. In midfield the award-winning trio Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan. Coach Cristian Chivu after the victory against Pisa in the last round of the championship remarked on his good relationship with Lautaro: “Only the ‘rumors’ question him, not us. We hug each other every morning… and we also talk to each other. The criticism was exaggerated, it was a victory of great maturity”.

Cesc Fabregas responds with Douvikas first forward, Morata instead still seems destined for the bench. In the three-quarter Nico Paz will be flanked by Addai and Rodriguez, in the median Perrone and Caqueret will act as filter. On the flanks will act Smolcic and Moreno, the two centerbacks will be Diego Carlos and Ramon. The Spanish coach hopes for a great test: “I am at Como, I eat everything and everyone for Como. We will go there to win the game, to give a great performance and continue to grow and nothing more. Inter has players with great personality, if you press them they feel they are the best team in the world”.

Inter-Como, the probable lineups
INTER (3-5-2): Sommer; Akanji, Acerbi, Bastoni; Carlos Augusto, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Thuram, Lautaro Martinez. All. Chivu.
COMO (4-2-3-1): Butez; Smolcic, Diego Carlos, Ramon, Moreno; Perrone, Caqueret; Addai, Paz, Rodriguez; Douvikas. All. Fabregas.
