Calcio Como are the cream of the crop in this clash
Calcio Como are priced at 1.27 for this Serie A 2026/2027 encounter with Parma as they enter this Monday's game at Stadio G. Sinigaglia in high spirits. Cesc Fabregas' side have beaten Napoli 2-1 away and Genoa 4-1 away in their last two matches, winning both of their games and showing no signs of slowing down.
AC Parma have made a mixed-to-poor start to the season, failing to win any of their three Serie A 2026/2027 games (D1, L2). They sit in 15th place with one point from three matches and are already under pressure.
Two different styles, two different plans
Como's approach
Como's playing style is to dominate possession in a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 and suffocate opponents with aggressive pressing and vertical ball movement. Fabregas has overseen this team since 19th July 2024, so his approach is clear and the players are up to speed.
Parma's approach
Parma are a much more organisation-first side who like to sit deep and play a tight game before making forward bursts when they have numerical superiority. Carlos Cuesta, who has been at the helm since 21st June 2025, has clearly outlined his playing style and has the players that he wants to make it work.
Attacking edge
I Lariani have found the net seven times in their last five matches and have a solid finisher in Anastasios Douvikas, who has two goals in Serie A 2026/2027 already. Parma have had to rely on Simone Lontani for all of their 1 Serie A 2026/2027 goals so far and three of their goals in the last five (Lontani has 3 of Parma's last 5 goals overall).
Como to take control of the game
Under 2.5 goals at 2.05 looks like a good option if Parma can keep this tight, but we're going with the form and the odds here, Calcio Como are simply the better side and a home win looks the most likely outcome.
- Como have been in top form in Serie A 2026/2027 and they come into this one sitting 5th after three matches with seven points.
- Parma have yet to find the net away from home, conceding twice in their only away game to date.
- Parma haven't won any of their last three away games against Calcio Como, so the hosts will surely be in their mind.
