Inter Milan vs Como Preview: Team News, Lineups & Prediction 🔥

🔥 INTER MILAN VS COMO: SERIE A MATCHDAY 11 PREVIEW
Inter Milan welcome Cesc Fàbregas’ Como to the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza—San Siro—in Milan on Sunday 8 November 2026. Kick-off is scheduled for 18:00 CET.

Nima Tavallaey and Sheridan Bird preview this potential Scudetto showdown with predicted line-ups, team news, injuries, tactical analysis and match predictions.

🔵 CAN FABREGAS FINALLY BEAT INTER?
Como arrive in Milan after their historic 9–1 Champions League victory over Lens. Can Fàbregas finally defeat the Nerazzurri and establish Como as genuine Serie A title contenders?

Nima and Sheridan analyse how Como’s possession-based 4-2-3-1 could test Cristian Chivu’s Inter—and identify the tactical battles that could decide the match.

🏥 INTER VS COMO TEAM NEWS AND INJURIES
Inter are expected to remain without Lautaro Martínez and Luis Henrique, while the fitness of John Stones and Curtis Jones requires assessment.

Como’s list of unavailable players includes Assane Diao, Moise Kean, Jayden Addai and Jesús Rodríguez, while Trevoh Chalobah remains a doubt. Neither team has a suspended player.

🏆 CAN COMO REACH THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE QUARTERFINALS?
After scoring 13 goals across victories over Manchester United and Lens, how far can Como progress in their debut Champions League campaign?

Could Nico Paz, Anastasios Douvikas and Fàbregas take Como to at least the quarterfinals—and potentially further than every other Serie A club?

🔵⚫ DO INTER LACK HUNGER IN MAJOR MATCHES?
The discussion then turns to Inter’s mentality following another Milan derby defeat.

Do the Nerazzurri players lack the desire required to win the biggest matches—and can Chivu eventually develop into a world-class tactician?

🛡️ SHOULD INTER ABANDON THEIR BACK THREE?
Is it finally time for Inter to replace their established back three with a four-man defence?

Plus, should Beppe Marotta consider bringing Mauro Icardi back to San Siro?
