Inter-Como, Chivu relies on Thuram: the Frenchman always scores

Marcus Thuram will be one of the players under the spotlight ahead of Inter-Como, scheduled for Sunday, November 8 at 18:00 at San Siro. The French striker has a notable record against the Larian side: every time he has faced them, he has managed to score. That statistic gives Cristian Chivu a valuable attacking reference for the Serie A matchday 11 fixture.

Thuram’s scoring consistency against Como makes him something of a Nerazzurri lucky charm, particularly after a week packed with fixtures. Inter lost the derby to Milan 3-1, but responded in the Champions League by beating Feyenoord 3-0. The Frenchman can now make the difference in the league as well, drawing on his positive record against the upcoming opponents.

Sunday’s game is Chivu’s next official appointment after the victory in Rotterdam. The schedule then includes Atalanta-Inter on November 22 at 20:45 and Inter-Stuttgart on November 25 at 21:00. In this run of matches, Thuram’s ability to perform against Como gives the coach another option as he looks to maintain the team’s momentum.
