Como vs Bologna

Calcio Como and Bologna collide at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia in a Serie A showdown that could have a significant impact on the race for European qualification.

Como sit 6th on 33 points, while Bologna are 8th with 26 points. The fixture pairs momentum with shared European ambitions as the season progresses.

Calcio Como has been one of the standout stories of the campaign, rising to 6th place on the back of consistency, defensive solidity, and an impressive ability to avoid defeat.

In their last 27 Serie A matches, Como have gone unbeaten on 23 occasions, underscoring how difficult they are to break down. At home they are undefeated in their last eight league games, making the Sinigaglia a challenging venue for visiting sides.

Defensively, Como arrive in excellent shape. They have kept clean sheets in each of their last three Serie A matches, showing growing confidence and organization at the back.

This solid platform has allowed them to manage games effectively, even when they are not dominating possession.

With nine wins from 18 league matches, Como have combined discipline with enough attacking quality to turn tight contests in their favor, especially against teams in the middle of the table.

Victory here would leave Como with four wins in a row [LLWWW].

A 4—2—3—1 formation with Anastasios Douvikas in attack is expected against Bologna.

Bologna [DLDLL], by contrast, come into this match searching for stability. They sit 8th with 26 points, and have been inconsistent, with only one win in their last seven Serie A matches.

Losses in three of their last six games across all competitions suggest a dip in confidence, particularly in front of goal, where they have struggled to convert chances into wins. Yet they have shown resilience away from home, avoiding defeat in six of their last seven away league fixtures. That away solidity could be crucial against a Como side that thrives on controlling matches.

Historically, Bologna has had the upper hand in recent head-to-head meetings, with Como losing three of the last five Serie A encounters between the sides. This recent record may give Bologna some confidence, even if current form favors the hosts.

However, Como’s present consistency suggests they are far more equipped to challenge Bologna than in previous seasons. A 4-2-3-1 formation with Thijs Dallinga in attack is expected against Como.
