Como
- Cesc Fabregas is the architect of Como’s unique hybrid 4-2-3-1/4-3-3 system that puts a No.10 on the ball in the middle of the park and an elite forward through the center, but it is in the wide-areas where they get their creativity.
- Como are 6th in Serie A with 30 points from 17 games and are unbeaten at home (W5, D3).
Bologna
- Bologna have won only 1 of their last 5 matches and none of their last 2 away games, losing 3-1 to Inter last weekend.
- Vincenzo Italiano’s Bologna play a similar system and are equally as progressive as Como, but they are more of an aggressive, all-action team that presses man-on-man with an intense energy that can leave them vulnerable.
- This will be a matchup between how well each team can execute their systems and the wing play could be where Como get some joy against a side that can be turned over.
Head-to-Head
Bologna have won the last 2 meetings , but their recent poor run of results and lack of away wins this term suggests Como can gain revenge on Saturday .
Key Players
Federico Bernardeschi has scored 2 of Bologna’s last 4 goals , so there’s a case to be made for him in the anytime scorer market ahead of team top scorer Riccardo Orsolini , who has 6 in 17 Serie A outings .
Betting Insights
- Nico Paz is the top scorer in the Como squad with 6 goals in 17 Serie A appearances, but Bologna are capable of scoring goals on the road, where they have hit 14 times in 9 matches, which is why Both Teams To Score at 1.85 is the main selection for this game.
- The hosts are worth a bet at 2.18 for the win in a close game, which should see Como get the result against a team that beat them 1-0 at home only 4 months ago.
Prediction
With a compact and organised structure behind the ball, Como are an extremely dangerous outfit on the break and they have enjoyed a fine 2025/2026 campaign so far, sitting sixth in the table with 30 points from 17 fixtures and an undefeated home record .
