- Como are unbeaten in 5 home-and-away H2H meetings with the Crociati (W2, D3) and won 1-0 here in Serie A 2025/2026.

Como have a spring in their step
Calcio Como have made a cracking start to their Serie A 2026/2027 campaign, but Monday's game against Parma will be no easy task for a club who are unbeaten in their last five home-and-away H2H contests (W2, D3). Cesc Fabregas has done a great job since taking over on 19th July 2024 and his proactive 4-2-3-1/4-3-3 system has the side playing an intense brand of football in which they try to smother their opponents in possession and then break with speed and intent.
Como have scored seven goals in their last five matches and with the in-form Martin Baturina notching three times during that run, they have plenty of bite between the lines. Top scorer Anastasios Douvikas has two to his name in Serie A 2026/2027 and that makes them a reliable side in attack.
Parma's only away league outing in Serie A 2026/2027 has ended in defeat and they have no draws in one attempt (L1), so I Lariani are the rightful favourites at 1.27.
The Crociati could make it tough
Carlos Cuesta has been in charge of Parma since 21st June 2025 and he has set up his side to be a more pragmatic unit than the home side. The goal here is organisation before expression and they aren't as potent as the hosts going forward, although they can be more than hard to break down.
Parma's last five games have seen them win one, draw one and lose three, so their form is a little mixed and we're going to take the home win as the best play here. However, Under 2.5 goals at 2.05 does look a strong alternative angle if Parma can keep it tight and compact.
The visitors are more likely to succeed in that regard as they don't push forward with the same tempo as Como and can make their own chances. Simone Lontani has popped up with the goal for the club in Serie A 2026/2027 so far and he's also on three goals in the last five overall, so he will be their biggest threat again here. Parma haven't won any of their last three away H2H encounters with Como, so there's a mental edge for the hosts here.
