Inter-Como, a statistical fact unites the two teams on the eve of the Meazza

Two days before the first seasonal clash between Inter and Como, an interesting statistic emerges that brings the two Lombard teams closer: in terms of offensive recoveries in the league, both teams are stuck at 81. This is revealed by the Gazzetta dello Sport.

However, there is a substantial difference in the effectiveness of these actions. Como has converted 4 goals from offensive recoveries, more than any other team in Serie A and double the two goals scored by the Nerazzurri. This data shines a spotlight on Appiano ahead of Sunday’s match at San Siro.

Chivu has to deal with an opponent in good form. The Larians occupy fourth place in the standings and, with 18 goals scored, are in sixth place among the best attacks in Serie A, that is, eight goals fewer than Inter. The Nerazzurri coach is looking for continuity in the defensive solidity shown recently, without distorting the style of play built over the course of the season.

Further motivation for the visitors comes from previous encounters: Fabregas has never won against the Nerazzurri, while Douvikas has never managed to score against Chivu’s team.
