Inter Milan face a must-win clash away at Como on Friday, May 23, in the final match day of the Serie A season, knowing only three points will give them a chance to retain their crown.
With Napoli just one point ahead and facing Cagliari at home, Inter’s only route to the title involves a win and a slip-up from the Partenopei—otherwise, a historic playoff may be needed if both sides finish level on 79 points.
🔵⚪Como Out to Spoil the Party | Home Win = 5.30💵
Back in Serie A after 21 years, Como have turned heads, securing a top-half finish under Cesc Fabregas. They’ve won their last three home games, conceding just once in that stretch.
Currently 10th on 49 points, Como could become the first promoted team to hit 50 points since Verona in 2014. Friday is their moment to shine against Italy’s elite.
Though they’ve lost the last 3 league meetings with Inter, the hosts are full of belief and eager to test the champions on their home ground, where they’ve recently been near-impeccable, going eight games without a defeat.
🔵⚫Inter Milan Dream of a Successful Scudetto Title Defence | Away Win = 1.62💵
The Nerazzurri are still reeling from a dramatic 2-2 draw against Lazio, where Pedro’s stoppage-time penalty denied them top spot. Despite Dumfries’ late header that seemed to seal the win, VAR ruled otherwise.
Inter have won just two of their last eight domestic away games, a major dip after a streak of eight straight away victories with seven clean sheets earlier in the campaign.
Simone Inzaghi’s side must now reset and focus, just a week before the UEFA Champions League final against PSG. A win at Sinigaglia could crown them, if Napoli slips at home, but if not, a draw with a Napoli defeat could force play-offs—it’s all to play for.
🗝️Key Players & Team News📰:
Inter are hopeful of having Lautaro Martinez and Davide Frattesi fit for the bench, with Pavard also nearing a return. If Lautaro starts, Taremi will make way for a reunion with Thuram.
Dumfries, with 11 goals and 5 assists this season, remains a major weapon on set pieces and in transition. Expect him to be central again in Inter’s attacking thrust.
Como are without top scorer Assane Diao, so young star Nico Paz will shoulder the creative burden. Goldaniga is suspended, while Reina, aged 42, will play his final professional game.
