Como
Como vs. Udinese kicks off at 11:30 [GMT] on Saturday, January 3, at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia.
Calcio Como welcomes Udinese to the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia in a Serie A football fixture that pits two sides enjoying contrasting trajectories this season. Como sit sixth with 27 points, while Udinese are 10th on 22 points, still within touching distance of the top half but craving greater consistency.
Como's home form has been a cornerstone of their season. They have won 67% of their league matches at the Sinigaglia and are unbeaten in seven straight home Serie A games.
That run has helped build belief around the club and turned their lakeside stadium into a difficult destination for visiting teams.
More broadly, Como’s consistency stands out. They have avoided defeat in 21 of their last 25 Serie A matches, a sequence that reflects a well-balanced side capable of managing games effectively. Whether controlling tempo at home or grinding out results away, Como have shown a maturity that belies their recent return to the top flight and explains their position in the upper reaches of the table.
Having recently put an end to a two-game losing run, Como [WWLLW] remains on the verge of earning back-to-back victories following a 3-0 win over Lecce.
A 4—2—3—1 formation with Anastasios Douvikas in attack is expected against Udinese.
Udinese arrive with a somewhat uneven profile. Away from home, results have been harder to come by, with four defeats in eight Serie A away matches this season and just one win in their last six on the road. Defensive issues have contributed to that struggle, as Udinese concede an average of 1.65 goals per league match, often leaving themselves chasing games rather than dictating them.
Head-to-head history adds an intriguing wrinkle. Despite Como’s current momentum, they have lost three of their last four Serie A meetings with Udinese, suggesting that past encounters have tended to favor the visitors.
History doesn't decide matches, but it highlights Udinese’s ability to pose problems for Como in this fixture. The matchup remains a test of whether Como can translate home form into a result against the visitors.
Taken together, this fixture blends Como’s solid home form and overall consistency with Udinese’s desire to rediscover stability away from home. That contrast promises a balanced contest as the season moves forward.
With both sides positioned in the middle-to-upper portion of the table, the contest offers a chance to either consolidate progress or reset momentum. The narrative ahead hinges on how they translate their form into tangible results.
A 3-5-2 formation with Keinan Davis and Zaniolo in attack is expected against Como. The setup hints at Udinese’s plan to balance offensive spark with road reliability.
