Inter hoping to win the title in Como
It all comes down to the final 90 minutes. Inter will be hoping to overtake Napoli on the final matchday, but good news from the Maradona is also needed: the Nerazzurri must win and hope Napoli either draw or lose to become Champions of Italy. Should Inzaghi’s men draw, a defeat for Napoli would result in a Scudetto play-off. It won’t be easy for Inter, who will be up against a Como side who drew in Verona last time out but have won six of their last seven matches.
HEAD-TO-HEAD
Inter have won each of their last eight Serie A matches against Como, conceding only two goals in that period; they have only had a longer winning streak in the competition against Empoli and Genoa (nine against both). After losing only two of their first 10 home matches against Inter in Serie A (W5, D3), Como have since lost each of their most recent three, with those coming between 1987 and 2002.
DID YOU KNOW?
Como have already secured 10th place in the standings and currently have 49 points; the last newly promoted team to win at least 50 points and end in 10th place were Hellas Verona in 2013/14 - Monza in 2022/23 finished 11th with 52 points. Inter could win the Scudetto with 81 points, an average of 2.1 points per game; since 1994/95 only Juventus in 1996/97 (1.9) have won the title with a points average below 2.1. Across the top five European Leagues in 2024-25, Inter have scored more goals via set-pieces than any other side (25) while only Monza (5) have scored fewer than Como (6). Inter have scored 112 goals across all competitions in 2024/25 and only once have they netted more in a campaign since 1929/30 - in 2019/20, when they scored 113 goals.
