Como’s push for a Champions League spot is highlighted by their recent success against Napoli, who are struggling to maintain their second-place position. The teams will meet on May 2, 2026, at Stadio G. Sinigaglia.
Como is currently fifth in Serie A, just four points behind Juventus. They recently won 2-0 against Genoa. Napoli holds second place but has not beaten Como since October 2024. Their last match ended with a strong 4-0 victory against Cremonese.
Key player updates:
- Nico Paz is a key player for Como but suffered a head injury and his availability is uncertain.
- Jayden Addai is the only remaining absentee for Como.
- Giovanni Di Lorenzo returns to Napoli’s bench after recovering from a knee ligament injury.
Como has avoided defeat in three of their four competitive clashes against Napoli since returning to the top flight. Notably, they knocked Napoli out of the Coppa Italia quarter-final in February. Cesc Fabregas remains optimistic about Como’s chances for a top-four finish this season.
Como must hold up their end of the bargain here. After beating Napoli in their last two home league meetings, they should take the field in high spirits. Yet, they face challenges ahead, as they need Juventus to drop points in the season finale to secure a Champions League spot for the first time in the club’s history.
