"Cruising their way to a routine 3-0 romp away at Lecce, the former Arsenal skipper has seen his squad gain a string of plaudits from across the continent. Getting New Year's Day underway sat in the European spots, the Lombardy-based outfit also know that they could move within touching distance of the Champions League places this weekend. Signing off November with a 2-0 win against Sassuolo, Como have also gained a real reputation for their continued dominance on home soil."
"As for the visitors, while Udinese might have sprung a sensational upset last month as they snatched a 1-0 victory at home against reigning Italian champions Napoli, the Little Zebras have once again drastically struggled to find any kind of stability. Falling to a nightmare 5-1 drumming at the hands of relegation scrappers Fiorentina last month, Kosta Runjaic's side have sacrificed their spot in the top-half of the Serie A standings."
Como enter the match with strong home form and European ambitions under Cesc Fabregas. The side recovered late 2025 with a 3-0 win at Lecce and sit in the European positions, with a chance to move closer to Champions League places. Como finished November with a 2-0 win over Sassuolo and are unbeaten in their first nine showdowns at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia across all competitions. The hosts have suffered only one Serie A defeat in Lombardy during the past 11 months. Udinese have been inconsistent, achieving a 1-0 upset over Napoli but suffering heavy losses, elimination from the Coppa Italia, and only two wins from eight league matches.
