Match Information
Match Overview
Matchday 11 of the Serie A regular season brings a meeting between two of the division's top four, with second-placed Inter hosting fourth-placed Como on November 8. In a league table where the gap between the contenders is tight, a fixture between sides in positions two and four carries real weight in the race for the upper reaches of the standings.
The most striking factor is how differently the two sides arrive. Inter have lost their most recent league outing, a 3-1 defeat away to AC Milan on October 31, after winning three straight Serie A matches against Venezia, Fiorentina and Bologna. Como, by contrast, have won every match in the listed recent run, including a 1-0 home win over Venezia on November 1 and a 3-1 victory at Torino on October 27. Their form also includes a 4-1 home win over Manchester United in the Champions League on October 21, a result that reinforces how productive they have been in attack.
The head-to-head record adds another layer. Inter have won five of the six listed meetings, with the other a 0-0 draw at Como on March 3, 2026. The most recent encounters were high-scoring: Inter won 3-2 on April 21, 2026, and 4-3 away on April 12, 2026. Como have scored in both of those games, which suggests the fixture has tended to produce goals at both ends.
On availability, neither side has any reported injuries, so both managers, Inter's C. Chivu and Como's Cesc Fàbregas, should have full squads to choose from. That removes a common source of uncertainty and puts the focus on tactical selection and rotation. Inter also played a Champions League match on October 21, though their recent schedule has been lighter since then, with only league fixtures on the list.
Overall, this is a clash between a side seeking a response after a derby defeat and a side carrying a strong winning run into a trip to a historically difficult opponent.

Team Form Analysis
Inter
League Position: 2Inter Form Analysis
Inter's recent run shows four wins from their last five matches in all competitions, though the most recent result was a setback. The 3-1 loss at AC Milan on October 31 ended a sequence of victories that included a 2-0 win at Venezia on October 28, a 2-1 home win over Fiorentina on October 25 and a 3-1 away win at Bologna on October 17.
Attacking output has been solid. Across the five listed matches Inter scored nine goals, an average of 1.8 per game, and they scored in every one of them. Their 3-1 win at Bologna was their highest return before the Milan defeat, which also saw them concede three for the first time in this run.
Defensively, Inter conceded five goals across the five matches, with three of those coming in the Milan loss. Before that match they had kept a clean sheet in the 2-0 win at Venezia and in the 1-0 Champions League home win over Shakhtar Donetsk on October 21.
The quality of opposition has varied, with a derby rival, a Champions League opponent and several mid-table Serie A sides. Three of the five matches were away from home, and Inter won two of those, which is a useful sign of their road form heading back to their own ground.
Como
League Position: 4Como Form Analysis
Como arrive in outstanding form, having won all five of their listed matches across Serie A and the Champions League. The run began with a 3-1 away win at Fiorentina on October 18 and continued through a 4-1 home win over Manchester United on October 21, a 2-0 home win over Sassuolo on October 24, a 3-1 win at Torino on October 27 and a 1-0 home win over Venezia on November 1.
Their attacking numbers are impressive: 13 goals in five matches, an average of 2.6 per game, with three or more goals scored in three of those fixtures. They scored in every match and have shown they can produce goals both home and away.
Defensively, Como conceded two goals across the five matches, both of them in games they still won comfortably, and they kept clean sheets against Sassuolo and Venezia. That balance of high scoring and tight defending is a hallmark of a team in strong form.
The standard of opposition has been mixed, ranging from Serie A sides in the middle of the table to a high-profile European opponent. A perfect record across that spread, including victories in both competitions, explains their position of fourth in the table. The step up in challenge against Inter will be a clear test of whether this run can continue.
