Inter host Como at San Siro on Sunday 8 November at 18:00 CET, second against fourth in Serie A, in the last round before the international break. Inter have 25 points from ten games, three behind the leaders Lazio; Como have 23, with seven wins, two draws and one defeat, and share the best defensive record in the league with Lazio at eight goals conceded, according to Inter's own analysis of their opponents, published on Thursday.

## Why it matters

For Inter the week has gone two ways. They lost the derby 1-3 to Milan on Saturday 31 October, all four goals in the first half: Pulisic after four minutes, Rabiot after ten, Alessandro Bastoni's reply after 22, and Moreira's free kick two minutes before the break, according to the club's match report. Then on Tuesday they won 3-0 at Feyenoord in the Champions League, with goals from Yann Bisseck, Pio Esposito and Piotr Zieliński, the club's interviews page says. Lose on Sunday and Inter could go into the break six points behind Lazio, who play Napoli at 12:30 CET; win and the gap stays at three or shrinks.

For Como the game is a test of how far they have come. Cesc Fàbregas, in his fourth season as head coach, has a side on four league wins in a row: 2-0 against Sassuolo, 3-1 against Torino and 1-0 against Venezia after a 3-1 win over Fiorentina, in Inter's listing, which gives scores but not venues. Their one league defeat was 2-0 to Frosinone; they drew 0-0 with Roma and drew with Udinese, and beat Napoli 2-1 and Genoa 2-1. And on Wednesday 4 November they won 9-1 at Lens in the Champions League, a result UEFA says equalled the biggest winning margin in the competition's history, alongside Liverpool 8-0 Beşiktaş in 2007 and Real Madrid 8-0 Malmö in 2015, and is the biggest away win ever in the competition. Tasos Douvikas scored three, after seven, 32 and 57 minutes; Nico Paz, Da Cunha, Kempf, Liberali, Baturina and the 18-year-old Matteo Papaccioli, on his European debut, scored the others, according to Como's report and Sky Sports' match page. Douvikas leads the Champions League scoring chart with six, having scored on all four matchdays, UEFA says. Como are on nine points in Europe, with wins over Leipzig, Manchester United and Lens and a defeat at Feyenoord.

## Team news

Inter: Lautaro Martínez has a hamstring strain found in tests on 15 October, and ESPN reported then that he was likely to miss seven games, the last of them this one, with a return expected at Atalanta on 22 November. No later official word was found. The club's training report on Wednesday 4 November pictured Bastoni, Pavard, Mkhitaryan, Sučić, Bonny and Diouf among others, and did not list absentees. Cristian Chivu's pre-match press conference had not been published on the club's English website by 07:15 CET on Saturday, so no quotes from him are carried here.

Como: no team news or press conference was found on the club's website by 07:15 CET on Saturday. The team that started at Lens was Butez; Couto, Ramon, Kempf, Valle; Perrone, Milla, Da Cunha, Caqueret; Nico Paz, Douvikas, with Douvikas taken off just after the hour. The official teams are due at about 17:00 CET.

## The recent record

Inter's analysis says only that last season's meetings "produced plenty of goals and entertainment", without giving the scores, and no allowed source with them was reachable on Saturday morning, so none are given here.

## How to read the market

The market has moved against Inter all week. BettingBeast's feed, which this site reads at least once an hour, first carried the game at 18:22 CET on Sunday 1 November with Inter at 1.77 to win, Como at 4.07 and the draw at 4.37. Inter were 1.81 an hour later, 1.85 by 21:23 CET on Tuesday 3 November, the night of the win in Rotterdam, and 1.92 at 08:19 CET on Thursday 5 November, the morning after Como's nine goals at Lens. By 15:22 CET on Friday they were 1.96, and at the 06:23 CET capture on Saturday, the price on the card above, Inter were 1.96, Como 3.72 and the draw 4.33. Turning the prices into chances, called the implied probability, by dividing one by the price: Inter have gone from about a 56% chance to about a 51%, a fall of five percentage points, which is above the three-point mark this site treats as a real move; Como's chance has gone from about 25% to about 27%. The handicap, the goal start given to the weaker side to even the contest, has been Como getting half a goal nearly all week, with Inter at 1.96 to win by any margin on it at the Saturday capture. The goals line has flipped between 2.5 and 3.5 the way the feed does when the two prices sit near even money; at the Saturday capture it was 2.5 goals, over 1.51 and under 2.78, and that is the one line that says something about this game: the market expects goals.

## What to watch

Whether Como keep the ball the way they did at Lens, or sit on the defence that has conceded eight in ten. Whether Inter's front line without Lautaro, with Pio Esposito scoring in Rotterdam, scores first. And Douvikas, six goals in four European games, against Bastoni and Bisseck. A lean: a game with three goals or more looks more likely than a low-scoring one, given Como's week and the derby, though Como's league record says they rarely concede twice.
