Como take on the visitors Bologna in the round 20 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Saturday, January 10th at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia (Como).
Como are trying to maintain maximum pace. The Lake side have appeared in Serie A before, but only sporadically. They managed to return in 2024, and in their first season back at the long-forgotten level the newcomers pleasantly surprised many, proving that an inexperienced coach and a group of underestimated players could compete at the top level, finishing 10th with 49 points. The key question was how they would cope with the infamous second season. It turned out that Como only kept building momentum. For a long time, they had just one defeat all season. In December, setbacks against Inter and Roma did appear. However, they responded by beating Lecce 3–0 and Udinese 1–0. To finish the stretch, they also thrashed Pisa. Recent results confirm that Como remain extremely competitive, especially against teams from the lower and middle part of the table. Their current form suggests they are capable of dictating tempo at home and consistently turning pressure into points.

Bologna traditionally had a solid reputation in Italian football as reliable mid-table contenders without bigger ambitions. Then, under Thiago Motta, they unexpectedly finished fifth in 2024. With Italiano in charge, last season was rather mixed, as Bologna slipped to ninth and struggled badly in their Champions League debut, but at the same time won the domestic cup. That success allowed them to compete in the Super Cup, where they eliminated Inter on penalties before losing to Napoli in the final, and in the Europa League, where qualification for the playoffs is virtually secured. At the same time, they have improved again in Serie A, firmly establishing themselves in the upper third of the table and clearly showing ambitions for more, even if occasional setbacks still occur. Recently, however, they lost to both Inter and Atalanta. These defeats exposed certain inconsistencies, especially in matches against top-tier opponents. Still, Bologna’s overall form remains solid, and their league position reflects a team capable of competing at a high level throughout the season.
The teams have played five head-to-head matches in total. Bologna lost only once while claiming three victories, including two wins over Como in 2025. This looks like a case where the visitors have little chance even of a draw. Como are expected to secure a home victory.
Prediction for the match: Como to win.
