- Team form: Calcio Como (17 points from 8 games) currently sit fourth in Serie A 2026-2027.

Como have Venezia’s number
Calcio Como head into this Sunday's Serie A 2026/2027 clash with Venezia as clear favourites and it's not hard to see why. The hosts have won three, drawn one and lost one of their last five matches and are currently riding a three-game winning streak that includes a 4-1 home victory over Manchester United in UEFA Champions League League Phase 2026/2027 and a 2-0 victory at home to Sassuolo in Serie A 2026/2027.
SSC Venezia, on the other hand, have a much more mixed record in recent weeks, winning one and losing four of their previous five games – a run which saw them beat Napoli 1-0 at home before losing 1-0 away at Genoa.
Lariani have the measure of their visitors
Like all games in Serie A 2026-2027, this fixture has been heavily influenced by the differing styles of their coaches, with Cesc Fabregas' Como set up to control the ball and suffocate games by their possession-led style and Davide Nicola's Venezia intent on a pragmatic, defensive approach with quick transitions. While that contrast of styles could lead to a tactical chess game, our belief is that Como will control possession and territory, particularly at home, so it makes them the obvious pick to win.
Fabregas' men have scored four in three home games, so a bet on Under 2.5 goals at 2.7 looks like the smart bet in the alternative markets.
Douvikas is Como’s danger man
However, our main selection is for the hosts to win at 1.3, as they have had their number in this fixture, having prevented them from winning either of their two previous away games against Como.
- Akor Adams is I Lagunari's sharpest shooter, having scored two of their four goals in the last five games, but Gianluca Busio has contributed to the cause with two assists in his four Serie A games to date.
- Anastasios Douvikas offers Como a similar edge up top with two goals in five Serie A appearances and five of his team's 11 goals in their last five matches.
