Udinese
- Kosta Runjaic’s Udinese have split their last two home games (W1, L1), losing 0-1 to Juventus.
- Udinese have won two, drawn one, and lost two of their last five games.
Como
- With 57 points from 30 games, Calcio Como occupy fourth spot in Serie A 2025-2026, 18 points ahead of 11th-placed Udinese Calcio, who have 39 from the same number of matches.
- Como are unbeaten in their last five (W4, D1).
- Visitors Como are in red-hot form, with their recent 2-1 win over AS Roma at home following a 5-0 thrashing of Pisa.
Head-to-Head
The two sides have a good recent record against each other, with Como holding a 2-1 edge over Udinese in the last three meetings, including a 1-0 win at home in Serie A 2025/2026 two months ago.
Key Players
- Keinan Davis is the main goal threat for the hosts, scoring 10 goals in 26 Serie A matches, three of which came in Udinese’s last five fixtures.
- Nicolo Zaniolo has provided three assists in the same timeframe to get the ball rolling from midfield.
- Anastasios Douvikas leads the front line with 11 Serie A goals this season and is Como’s main attacking threat.
- Cesc Fabregas’ patient, possession-based 4-2-3-1 since July 2024 has driven Como’s recent successes, with the ball moving fluidly through the midfield and sudden transitions into the final third.
Prediction
- We’re backing Como to come away with a decisive victory on Monday night, with their extra momentum, superior form, and better recent head-to-head record a deciding factor.
- As Fabregas’ team can control possession and make a mess of their opponent’s attacking rhythm, we don’t see Udinese having much of a chance in front of goal.
