Inter’s 5-0-0 Serie A home record meets Como’s 4-1-1 away record

The venue question

Can Como’s away attack disrupt Inter’s perfect home start when Serie A’s 11th round is played at San Siro on Sunday at 17:00 UTC? Inter have won all 5 of their home matches, scoring 17 goals and conceding 7. Como’s away record is 4 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, with 13 goals scored and 7 conceded across their away matches.

A direct meeting near the top

The provisional standings make this a meeting between #2 Inter, on 25 points from 10 games, and #4 Como, on 23 points from 10 games. Inter are 2 points ahead of Como, while league leaders Lazio have 28 points. The result therefore carries clear table importance for both teams, without changing the fact that these are current standings before kickoff.

Where the goals may come from

Inter’s main listed threats are M. Thuram, with 5 goals and 2 assists in 9 appearances, and Lautaro Martínez, with 4 goals in 5 appearances. Como’s T. Douvikas has scored 5 goals in 10 appearances. Inter have most often used a 3-5-2, selected in 8 matches; Como’s 4-2-3-1 has appeared in 9.

Inter’s most recent result in a 10-match form sample was a loss, while Como’s was a draw. The concrete question at kickoff is whether Douvikas and Como can match Inter’s home scoring output without conceding first.
