The reigning Serie A champions, SSC Napoli, host an ambitious Como 1907 side at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona in what promises to be an intriguing top-half clash. Napoli, led by Antonio Conte, have recently returned to the top of the table after a brief spell of inconsistent form, demonstrating their grit with consecutive narrow league victories. They face a Como team managed by Cesc Fabregas, who have been one of the division’s biggest surprises this season, sitting comfortably in a European contention spot following an impressive unbeaten run.

Team Form and Analysis for SSC Napoli
Domestic Form and League Position
Napoli enters this fixture back at the summit of Serie A, level on points with their nearest rivals, following a crucial 3-1 home win against Inter Milan and a hard-fought 1-0 away victory over Lecce. This return to form has been essential after a turbulent period. Their home record remains a significant strength, with the Partenopei unbeaten in their last 16 Serie A home matches since December 2023, including four straight home wins this season where they have been prolific in front of goal.
European Performance and Context
While their domestic form is solid, Napoli’s European campaign has been problematic. A heavy 6-2 defeat to PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League remains a significant blot on their recent record. The team will be acutely aware of their upcoming mid-week European fixture against Eintracht Frankfurt, which might influence selection and in-game management, but securing three points domestically remains the immediate priority to maintain their title challenge momentum.
Key Player – André-Frank Zambo Anguissa
Midfielder André-Frank Zambo Anguissa has become instrumental in the team’s recent resurgence. The Cameroonian has been a vital box-to-box presence, providing defensive steel and a crucial attacking thrust, evidenced by his scoring a goal in each of Napoli’s last two victories. His energy and ability to dominate the midfield battle will be key against a tactically astute Como side.
Team Form and Analysis for Como 1907
Domestic Form and League Position
Como, under the guidance of former player and now head coach Cesc Fabregas, have performed exceptionally well, currently occupying a top-six position. Their recent form is impressive, having gone six matches unbeaten in the league, a run that includes a historic 2-0 home victory against Juventus. Most recently, they defeated Hellas Verona 3-1 in midweek. While their home form is formidable, their away record is less consistent, with only one win in their five away matches this season and an average of less than one goal scored per road trip.
European Performance and Context
As a recently promoted side, Como are not involved in European competition, allowing them to focus entirely on their domestic league campaign. This lack of fixture congestion could provide a physical advantage over a Napoli team balancing multiple fronts, ensuring the visitors arrive fully rested and prepared.
Key Player – Nico Paz
The young Argentine attacking midfielder, Nico Paz, has emerged as a key creative and goal-scoring threat for Como. His technical ability, vision, and knack for pivotal goals—such as his influential performance against Juventus—make him the central hub of Como’s attack. His performance in the number ten role, linking midfield to attack, will be crucial for the visitors’ chances of upsetting the champions.
Head-to-Head Record
The recent head-to-head record suggests a more closely fought contest than league positions might imply, with Como holding a surprising edge in the most recent encounters.

In their last Serie A meeting in February 2025, Como secured a shock 2-1 home victory, but Napoli had won the previous encounter at the Stadio Maradona 3-1. Historically, across all competitions, the record favours Napoli with 21 wins to Como’s 6, alongside 7 draws.
Players to Watch
For SSC Napoli:
Rasmus Højlund: The young Danish striker is expected to return to the starting lineup following injury, providing a much-needed physical presence and goal threat up front. His battle with Como’s central defenders will be pivotal.
Giovanni Di Lorenzo: The captain and right-back is a vital figure for both his defensive leadership and his attacking output, often providing width and dangerous crosses into the box.
For Como 1907:
Álvaro Morata: The veteran Spanish striker has been Fabregas’s preferred lone forward. His experience, link-up play, and ability to hold up the ball are essential for Como’s counter-attacking strategy.
Jean Butez: Como’s goalkeeper will likely face a barrage of shots from the prolific Napoli attack. His shot-stopping ability and commanding presence in the box will be heavily relied upon to keep the scoreline close.
Prediction
This match presents a classic clash of styles and ambitions: the established champions aiming to solidify their position versus the rising upstarts determined to prove their top-six credentials. Napoli’s near-perfect home record is a compelling factor, demonstrating their superior quality and focus when playing in Naples. While Como’s recent form is excellent, their struggles to secure high-scoring wins away from home, coupled with the sheer attacking power of a rejuvenated Napoli side, suggest a victory for the hosts. We anticipate a tightly contested game in the first half, with Napoli’s class and depth eventually shining through in the second.
Score Prediction: SSC Napoli 2-0 Como 1907
