The 17th matchday of Serie A will end today with the match at San Siro between Inter and Como. Simone Inzaghi doesn't want to miss the Scudetto train and lose points from the top of the table, Cesc Fabregas on the other hand needs to win to move away from the relegation zone. This will be the last match before Christmas, then the year 2024 will end with another championship round close to New Year's Eve. The match for Inter-Como is at 8.45pm and these are the probable lineups.
Short blanket in defense. Pavard and Acerbi are unavailable, while Darmian and de Vrij are in doubt (there is calm optimism that they will be back for tonight's match). If they were to withdraw, Inzaghi will be forced to use Bastoni as a central defender, with Bisseck, Palacios and Carlos Augusto fighting for the two defensive positions. Barella called up, he plays for a starting shirt with Frattesi.
Inter (3-5-2): Summer; Bisseck, Bastoni, Carlos Augusto; Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Thuram, Martinez. Trainer: Inzaghi
The ballots
Carlos Augusto-Palacios: 70%-30%
Stretcher-Frattesi: 60%-40%
Pavard – Strain in the biceps femoris
Acerbi – Elongation of the biceps femoris
Darmian – Knee problem (to be evaluated)
De Vrij – Knee problem (to be evaluated)

Como only has to give up Perrone. Fabregas should opt for Belotti as the lone striker, ahead of Cutrone, supported by Strefezza, Nico Paz and Fadera. The midfield will see the experience of Sergi Roberto and Da Cunha. In defense, Goldaniga and Kempf should make up the central pairing. Gabrielloni is the weapon to play during the match.
Like (4-2-3-1): Reina; Van der Brempt, Goldaniga, Kempf, Barba; Sergi Roberto, Da Cunha; Strefezza, Nico Paz, Fadera; Belotti. Trainer: Fabregas.
The ballots
Goldaniga-Dossena: 70%-30%
Belotti-Cutrone: 55%-45%
Perrone – Effusion on the thigh
