Fàbregas is expected to stick with a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Baturina, Nico Paz and Da Cunha playing behind Douvikas. Chivu is leaning towards a 3-5-2, with Pio Esposito potentially partnering Thuram.

Inter and Como will meet at San Siro on Sunday, 8 November, at 6:00 pm in Matchday 11 of the 2026/27 Serie A season. Following their European fixtures against Feyenoord and Lens, Cristian Chivu and Cesc Fàbregas will need to assess their players’ fitness before selecting their starting line-ups.

Como’s predicted line-up

Como are expected to line up in their usual 4-2-3-1 formation. Fàbregas is likely to start Butez in goal, with Yan Couto, Jacobo Ramón, Kempf and Álex Valle forming the back four.

Milla and Perrone are the favourites to start in midfield, although Caqueret remains a possible alternative. Da Cunha, Nico Paz and Baturina are expected to operate behind the striker, with the freedom to interchange positions and move into central areas.

Douvikas is the leading candidate to start as the centre-forward. The absences of Diao and Kean leave Fàbregas with fewer attacking options.

Como, 4-2-3-1: Butez; Yan Couto, Jacobo Ramón, Kempf, Álex Valle; Milla, Perrone; Da Cunha, Nico Paz, Baturina; Douvikas.
Head coach: Cesc Fàbregas.

Inter’s predicted line-up

Chivu is expected to set Inter up in a 3-5-2 formation. Josep Martínez is the favourite to start in goal, with Bisseck, Akanji and Bastoni forming the back three.

Spence, Barella, Çalhanoğlu, Zielinski and Dimarco are expected to start in midfield, although Zielinski faces competition from Sučić. Thuram should lead the attack, with Pio Esposito currently ahead of Bonny in the race to partner him.

Inter, 3-5-2: Josep Martínez; Bisseck, Akanji, Bastoni; Spence, Barella, Çalhanoğlu, Zielinski, Dimarco; Pio Esposito, Thuram.
Head coach: Cristian Chivu.
