JAKARTA - Inter Milan and Como prepare for clashes in the San Siro on Saturday, December 6, separated by only three points and three positions in the Serie A standings. Inter still holds a historical record over Lombardia's rivals, but Como has now turned from an underdog to a serious threat, pursuing the first win in the duel since 1950.

Inter came on two straight wins. Lautaro Martinez shifted Pisa last weekend through two second-half goals, before the Nerazzurri coating squad silenced Venezia 5-1 on the Coppa Italia. Andy Diouf, a rare summer signing, also listed the name on the scoreboard.

Coach Cristian Chivu is entering a period of congestion: the Champions League, Supercoppa Italiana, plus the tight competition at the top of the four teams is only one point apart. Inter need stability, especially with the absence of two mainstay wing-backs, Denzel Dumfries and Matteo Darmian.

On the other hand, Como has appeared as the main surprise of the season. Cesc Fabregas' team has been unbeaten since August and has just beaten Sassuolo 2-0. They have advanced 12 games without losing, approaching the European zone while maintaining an Inter-like ball-based play style.

Nico Paz became the center of creativity with five goals and five assists, while Fabregas increasingly appeared convincing as a young coach. Assane Diao is likely to return from a thigh injury, and Ivan Smolcic is free of sanctions.

This match will be a test of Como's credibility as a European candidate and Inter's mentality test to stay at the forefront of the group.

Both teams brought the ambitions of the new generation of Italian football: Inter with the depth of the squad, Como with the idealism of possession. This match has the potential to be one of the barometers this season.

Prediction of the composition of players :

Inter Milan: Sommer; Akanji, Acerbi, Bastoni; Augusto, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Thuram, Martinez

Como:Butez; Smolcic, Ramon, Carlos, Moreno; Perrone, Caqueret; Addai, Paz, Rodriguez; Douvikas

Prediction: Inter Milan 2-1 Como
