In the last two Serie A matches, Thuram has not found the back of the net. According to Opta data, this is the striker’s longest goal drought since the February-March period, when he went five consecutive games without scoring in the top flight.

This step back comes after a positive spell: Tikus had scored in three consecutive matches before this drop. Now the match against Como represents a concrete opportunity to regain consistency in front of goal.

The precedents favor the Inter striker: against the Larians he has scored 4 goals in three league matches, a record that places him among his best ever against a single opponent, surpassed only by Parma and Torino.
