Match Preview — Form, Stats & Story
Napoli arrive in fine fettle overall — they are ranked 3rd away from home this season fotmob and have bagged wins over AC Milan and Cagliari in recent weeks. However, a 2-0 defeat to Lazio has introduced a touch of anxiety into their title charge. Every point now is priceless.
Como, meanwhile, are sliding at the worst possible time. They have lost their last three matches fotmob and will be desperate to arrest that run on home soil. The silver lining? Como have scored 11 goals in their last five matches, so they’re clearly not short of attacking threat — just struggling to convert form into results.
One curious stat that could haunt Napoli: they have conceded the most penalties in Serie A this season with 9. fotmob That’s a nervy record to carry into a high-pressure game.
The H2H record between these sides is remarkably level — Como and Napoli have each won once in recent meetings, with two draws between them. fotmob

Match Prediction
Despite Como’s recent slump, they score goals — a lot of them. And Napoli’s penalty-conceding record is a genuine vulnerability. But Napoli’s quality in midfield with Lobotka and McTominay controlling the tempo should see them grind out a result. Expect a tightly contested affair with Napoli edging it late.
Our Pick: Como 1–2 Napoli
