The last two weeks have been tough for Inter. On Tuesday the Snakes faced Como in the Coppa Italia. Cesc Fabregas's players decided not to repeat the bitter experience of the recent crushing defeat and played the match differently. Como dominated the first half but created few chances. The Nerazzurri equalized after the break, and the tifosi did not see any goals. The two teams combined for only eight shots and postponed the decision about the winner of the tie to the second leg. In the previous round of the league, under Cristian Kivu's management, they faced Genoa. The Snakes went ahead in the 31st minute thanks to a well-deserved goal from Dimarco. The team slowed the pace in the second half, but controlled the match well. Calhanoglu's spot-kick sealed the final score and confirmed the Nerazzurri's comfortable victory. Before that Inter had been knocked out of the Champions League. It is hardly a memory the team would like to revisit. Milan is also not in great form. In the last round the Rossoneri faced Cremonese. At the Giovanni Zini Stadium the hosts had the better early chances. However, real danger to score began to appear after the Devils' attacks. Milan managed to find an opening at the opponent's goal only near the end of the match. Thus, in the 90th minute Pavlovic put his side ahead, and four minutes later Leao set the final score. A round earlier, Allegri's charges were less fortunate. Milan hosted Parma and struggled greatly to create in attack. Finishing problems meant that the Crusaders took their rare chance and earned three points. The first-leg match ended in a narrow Milan victory. The lone, decisive goal of the match was Pulisic's in the 54th minute. It is worth noting that Inter dominated and created many goal-scoring chances. Moreover, Calhanoglu failed to convert a penalty, depriving the team of a chance to pick up points. Interestingly, as visitors at San Siro the Snakes play much better than as hosts. In the last five matches the Nerazzurri beat the Devils three times, and the teams shared points twice. Overall, Cristian Kivu's charges have lost only two of 13 away matches this season. In the other matches the Nerazzurri have consistently won. The cup match against Como is unlikely to have a significant impact on Inter's physical state. The Snakes are ready to put an end to the title race.
