Como

vs

Parma

KickoffMonday 14 September 2026, 4:30pm

VenueStadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia

CompetitionItalian Serie A

There are moments in football when you have to stop and just appreciate what you are watching. Como are one of those stories. Less than a decade ago they were grinding through Italian football’s fourth tier, and on Thursday night they were under the lights at Stadio Sinigaglia putting RB Leipzig to the sword in the Champions League. Four goals. A fearless performance. A statement that Cesc Fabregas is not just building something at this club, he has already built it.

Now the hard part begins. The calendar does not care about your European heroics, and by Monday evening it will be back to the bread and butter of Serie A when Parma come to the lake. Como are unbeaten in nine games, playing some of the most exciting football in Italy, and they have a frankly dreadful recent record for Parma to contend with. This one has a home win written all over it, but let us go through it properly.

Como vs Parma Match Details

Como welcome Parma to Stadio Sinigaglia on Monday 14th September 2026, with kickoff scheduled for 5:30pm. The fixture is a Serie A matchday game played in Lombardy, on the shores of Lake Como, in what promises to be a sharp test of both sides’ early season ambitions.

Team News

Fabregas is in an enviable position heading into this one. His squad is almost fully fit, and with the international break arriving straight after this fixture he has every reason to rotate and keep his players fresh. Parma are dealing with rather more disruption.

• Jayden Addai is Como’s only confirmed long term absentee, currently sidelined with injury.
• Moise Kean has recently joined the club and will push Tasos Douvikas for a starting spot up front.
• Hans Nicolussi Caviglia is out for Parma with a groin injury.
• Adrian Bernabe and Ousmane Diallo are both doubts for the visitors.
• Sascha Britschgi was substituted against Monza with a knock but is expected to be available on Monday.

Predicted Lineups

Fabregas made just a single change for the Leipzig game, so a more meaningful rotation looks likely here given the schedule and the proximity of the international break. Assane Diao is almost impossible to leave out after scoring three times in his last two appearances, and the likes of Nico Paz, Martin Baturina and Tasos Douvikas give Fabregas real flexibility across the front line. The big question is whether Kean slots straight into the starting eleven or is introduced from the bench.

Expected Como XI: Butez; Smolcic, Chalobah, Ramon, Kaiki; Perrone, Da Cunha; Diao, Paz, Baturina; Kean

Parma will likely line up in a compact shape and hope to frustrate, though their injury concerns make selection a headache for Carlos Cuesta. Lontani earned his place with the equaliser against Monza and should keep his spot alongside Toure in attack.

Expected Parma XI: Corvi; Delprato, Carlos, Troilo; Britschgi, Keita, Ordonez, Fabbian, Valeri; Lontani, Toure

Recent Form

Como’s form is genuinely exceptional. Three competitive games in the bag this season, and they have opened with a draw against Udinese before back to back wins over Napoli and Genoa. Then comes Thursday’s Champions League demolition of Leipzig, 4 1, which extended an unbeaten run stretching back nine games into the tail end of last season. What stands out is not just the results but the manner of them. This is a team that plays on the front foot, creates chances in bundles, and has real goal threats all over the pitch. Fabregas has them well drilled and supremely confident.

Parma, by painful contrast, are sitting on a single Serie A point after three games. Their season started with two blank performances, no goals and no points from their first two fixtures, before Lontani’s equaliser earned them a share of the spoils against Monza last week. It was a relief more than anything else. The teenager showed there is talent in this squad but the team as a whole has managed just eight shots on target in the league this season, which tells you everything about their cutting edge. Or rather their lack of it. The summer departure of Mateo Pellegrino left a gap that has not been adequately filled, and it is showing.

The away form makes for grim reading too. Parma have lost their last three games on the road without scoring a single goal. One of those defeats came against Como. They are being asked to travel to one of the form sides in Italian football while carrying a genuine goalscoring crisis. The numbers do not paint a flattering picture at all.

Head-to-Head Record

The head to head adds even more weight to the case for a comfortable Como afternoon. Parma have not won any of their last seven clashes against Como at Stadio Sinigaglia, going back across both Serie B and Serie A. That is a remarkable sequence and it speaks to how much Como have dominated this particular fixture at home over a sustained period.

The most recent meeting at this ground resulted in a win for Como as well, so Parma arrive with a weight of history working against them. Their only bright spot from recent meetings is a 1 0 victory away from home back in May, but when they are asked to travel to Lombardy, the results have consistently gone against them. There is no obvious reason to think this Monday will be any different.

Key Stats

• Como are unbeaten in nine games, with their last two results being identical 4 1 wins.
• Parma have managed just eight shots on target in Serie A this season across three games.
• Assane Diao has scored three goals in his last two appearances for Como.
• Parma are without a goal in their last three away games across all competitions.
• The visitors have not won at Sinigaglia in any of their last seven attempts.

Como vs Parma Betting Tips

The shape of this game feels pretty clear. Como are in outstanding nick, playing in front of their own supporters, with a forward line that would cause problems for far better defences than the one Parma will put out. The visitors are a team low on confidence, short on goals, and struggling with injuries to key players. The value here is in backing Como to win well and for the goals to flow at the home end.

Both Teams To Score (BTTS) Prediction

No. Parma have not scored in their last three away games and they are heading to a ground where they have a wretched record. Como’s defence has been solid enough to keep things controlled at the back, and with Parma’s lack of firepower I cannot see them troubling the home goalkeeper. BTTS No is the call here.

Over and Under Goals Prediction

Over 2.5 goals. Como have scored four in each of their last two games and will fancy themselves to do similar damage here. Even if Parma do not contribute much at the other end, the home side have enough in the tank to push this over the line on their own. Over 2.5 looks solid.

Correct Score Prediction

3 0 to Como. The visitors have shown no sign of troubling good keepers and Como’s attacking quality across every area of the pitch suggests they will put this to bed without too much fuss. A 3 0 scoreline feels like a natural landing point for a game with this kind of mismatch.

First Goalscorer Prediction

Assane Diao. The man is simply on fire right now, three goals in two games, and he tends to get into dangerous positions early in matches. Fabregas will want him involved from the start and at the odds you would typically find for a forward in this kind of form against this kind of opposition, he represents genuine value.

Corners Prediction

Over 9.5 corners. Como dominate possession and push teams back into their own half, which naturally generates corners in volume. Parma will sit deep and invite pressure, meaning the home side will be winning corners regularly throughout the 90 minutes. A high corners total is a natural byproduct of how this game is likely to unfold.

Cards Prediction

Over 3.5 cards. When a team as limited as Parma faces a side as relentless as Como, frustration tends to build and defensive fouls accumulate. Parma’s players will be under pressure for long periods and you would expect them to pick up bookings as they try to disrupt the hosts. A card count above 3.5 for the match feels achievable.

Bet Builder Tip

All three selections point in the same direction: Como controlling the game, keeping a clean sheet against a toothless Parma attack, and Diao continuing the red hot run of form that has defined his start to the season.

Final Match Prediction

Como 3 0 Parma. The story writes itself, really. A home side brimming with confidence fresh off a famous European win, with one of the most dangerous forward lines in Italian football and an unbeaten run of nine games. Set against a Parma side that is goalless in three away games, carrying injuries, sitting on one point, and with a miserable record at this particular ground.

Fabregas will rotate where he can but the quality goes deep enough that it will not matter. Parma will come, try to be organised and compact, and ultimately get picked apart by a Como team that simply has too many weapons. Enjoy the game. This one should be a good watch, at least if you are a neutral or a Como supporter.
