Bitesize Prediction: Como vs Udinese – 03/01/26

Competition: Serie A

Market: Como win

Odds: 8/11 @ Pribet

Looking to make it back-to-back Serie A victories on Saturday lunchtime, Como will welcome Udinese to the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia.

Starting with the hosts, while Como might have got December underway with consecutive Serie A defeats, Cesc Fabregas’ men signed off 2025 with a real flurry. Cruising their way to a routine 3-0 romp away at Lecce, the former Arsenal skipper has seen his squad gain a string of plaudits from across the continent. Getting New Year’s Day underway sat in the European spots, the Lombardy-based outfit also know that they could move within touching distance of the Champions League places this weekend. Signing off November with a 2-0 win against Sassuolo, Como have also gained a real reputation for their continued dominance on home soil. Including a famous 2-0 victory against Italian icons Juventus on October 19th, Fabregas’ side are unbeaten in all of their first nine showdowns at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia across all competitions. It should also be highlighted, Saturday’s hosts have suffered just a single Serie A defeat in Lombardy over the past 11 months.

As for the visitors, while Udinese might have sprung a sensational upset last month as they snatched a 1-0 victory at home against reigning Italian champions Napoli, the Little Zebras have once again drastically struggled to find any kind of stability. Falling to a nightmare 5-1 drumming at the hands of relegation scrappers Fiorentina last month, Kosta Runjaic’s side have sacrificed their spot in the top-half of the Serie A standings. Watching their Coppa Italia adventure come to a routine end on December 2nd as they got hit with a 2-0 loss against Juventus, Saturday’s guests have won just a pair of their previous eight showdowns against top-flight opposition. Marking their return from November’s international break with a 3-0 defeat at home against Bologna, Udinese should also be concerned by their most recent meeting against Como. Slumping to a 4-1 defeat when they travelled to Lombardy 12 months ago, we are backing a similar home win here.
