Como take on the visitors Inter in the round 38 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Friday, May 23rd at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia (Como).
Como once played in Serie A, but a long series of setbacks — including bankruptcy — nearly erased the club from top-level football. Their current ownership effectively rebuilt the team from scratch, and last season they finally earned promotion to the top flight by finishing second in Serie B. As expected, they strengthened the squad during the summer, though their heavy reliance on aging players raised concerns. Raphaël Varane, for instance, never featured due to another injury and subsequently retired. The appointment of Cesc Fàbregas — a brilliant mind on the field but still a rookie coach — also carried risk. Yet the season turned out well: Como stayed comfortably above the relegation zone and climbed even higher in the table with a string of wins in April. However, the 1-1 draw against Verona last round suggested that the team may already be mentally on vacation.

Inter are struggling to chase multiple trophies. Under Simone Inzaghi, the "Nerazzurri" have been punching above their financial weight. Last season's Scudetto was a testament to their consistency and dominance. This year, they entered another title race — one that became a two-horse sprint. Lautaro Martínez and his teammates led the standings for a while, but the energy-sapping Champions League ties against Bayern Munich came at a cost. Though they eliminated the Germans, they suffered a heavy 0-3 defeat to Milan in the Coppa Italia and lost two straight league games, turning a 3-point lead over Napoli into a 3-point deficit. Their clash with Barcelona was even tougher — two thrilling 3-3 draws, followed by a dramatic extra-time goal in the home leg. Domestically, Inter avoided further slip-ups and cut the gap to just one point. They were minutes from victory against Lazio before conceding an 88th-minute penalty converted by Pedri for a 2-2 draw — especially frustrating as Napoli only managed a goalless stalemate in Parma.
Inter have won all three official matches between the clubs to date. The Scudetto is no longer fully in Inter’s hands — they need Napoli to slip up. Still, they must do their part, and they’ll get the job done here with a solid win.
Prediction for the match: Inter to win.
