The 32nd round of the Italian national football championship continues.
Idman.Biz reports that the round already started yesterday, with Roma winning 3-0 at home against Pisa.
Currently, the main intrigue in the upper part of the league table is not only the championship race but also the battle for the places behind the leader. Milan leads with 72 points, Napoli has risen to second place with 65 points after defeating Milan 1-0, while Milan has dropped to third place with 63 points. Then comes Como 1907 in fourth place with 58 points, followed by Juventus and Roma, who have already played in this round, with 57 points.
"Como" - "Inter" (April 12)
The central match of the round will be held in Lombardy, where the fourth team of the championship will host the leader. For Inter, this is a match where they cannot afford to lose points: the team maintains a 7-point lead over Napoli and controls the championship race. This game is also significant for Como, as Cesc Fabregas' team is showing one of the brightest performances of the season, and if they win, they can continue the fight for the top three.
This season, the rivals have already met twice. In the first round of Serie A, Inter defeated Como 4-0 at home, and in March, the teams drew 0-0 in the first leg of the Italian Cup semi-final. In general, since Como's return to Serie A, the Milanese have won all three games against this opponent, with a goal difference of 8:0.
Como is confident before such a game. The team has been unbeaten in the championship for seven games and the last draw stopped a 6-game winning streak. Fabregas' team stands out for its reliable defense and organized game, which allows it to stay close to the European Cup zone and fight for higher places.
The overall background is also positive for Inter, although there are problems. The team has the most productive attack line in the league and recently confidently defeated Roma. However, before the away game against Como, the leader faced a personnel problem due to the injury of Lautaro Martínez, one of the key players in the attack, which could disrupt the balance in the attacking line.
On paper, Inter is considered the favorite due to the quality of the squad, historical advantage in this match, and having the best attack in the league. However, currently, Como looks like one of the most uncomfortable teams for any opponent: Fabregas has already formed not just an interesting project, but a real force that can join the fight for places in the upper part of the league table.
