Como (home)
- Como have not lost either of their home games in Serie A (W1, D1), and have won 3 of their last 5 (L1, D1).
- Calcio Como have made a strong start to their Serie A 2025-2026 season, with Cesc Fàbregas’ tactical innovation seeing them up to 8th in the table with 7 points from 4 games.
- The Calcio Como vs Cremonese prediction for this fixture is particularly interesting since they have lost 1-0 away to Bologna, drew 1-1 at home with Genoa, and enjoyed a 2-1 away win over Fiorentina last time out, showcasing their ability to adapt to different opponents.
- In Nico Paz, who has 2 goals and 3 assists in 4 Serie A appearances, they have a fantastic conductor of the ball, but Anastasios Douvikas’ 2 goals in their last 5 have provided an important attacking spark.
Cremonese (away)
- Cremonese have drawn their last 2 games (0-0 at Hellas Verona, 0-0 vs AC Parma), but are unbeaten away from home this season (W1, D1).
- Cremonese have conceded just 1 goal in their 2 away games (0.50 per game).
- Cremonese have also impressed in Serie A 2025-2026, sitting 6th with 8 points from 4 games, 1 point better off than Como.
- Davide Nicola’s pragmatism has ensured that the visitors have been tough to crack this year, but their 2 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss in their last 5 outings have shown that they’re not a one-trick horse.
- Federico Baschirotto leads the scoring charts for Cremonese with 1 goal in 4 Serie A 2025-2026 appearances, but they have the personnel to create a compact mid/low block and use the wing-backs and set-pieces to good effect on the counterattack.
