Inter vs. Como: Serie A Week 17 Starting Lineups
Inter will look to maintain their title challenge as they host Como at the San Siro in Serie A. The home side are dealing with some defensive injuries, while Como aim to build on their impressive recent form.
Inter are forced to reshuffle their backline due to injuries to Benjamin Pavard, Francesco Acerbi, Matteo Darmian and Stefan de Vrij. Nicolò Barella is also carrying a knock but should start in midfield. Up front, the prolific partnership of Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram leads the line.
Como have been one of the surprise packages this season under manager Cesc Fabregas. They stunned Atalanta 3-2 away recently and will be full of confidence after beating Roma 2-0 last week. Real Madrid youth product Nico Paz provides creativity behind striker Andrea Belotti.
A win for Inter would keep them in touch with leaders Atalanta and Napoli, while Como are looking to pull further away from the relegation zone. An intriguing clash awaits between two teams in good form.
Confirmed Starting Lineups:
Inter: Sommer; Bisseck, Bastoni, Carlos Augusto; Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Thuram, Lautaro Martinez
Como: Reina; Goldaniga, Dossena, Kempf; Van der Brempt, Sergi Roberto, Da Cunha, Fadera; Nico Paz, Strefezza; Belotti
