Como hosts Venezia in Serie A with 20-point gap between table positions

Como hosts Venezia on November 1, 2026, at the Giuseppe Sinigaglia Stadium for the tenth round of Serie A 2026-27. The match highlights a stark contrast in form and league position: Como sits fifth with 20 points following three consecutive Serie A victories, while Venezia remains last with only 3 points from 9 matches.

Como, managed by Cesc Fabregas, arrives in exceptional form despite a congested fixture schedule that includes UEFA Champions League matches. The team won 3-1 away at Torino in its most recent league outing and has scored 12 goals in its last four matches. Como also defeated Manchester United 4-1 in a Champions League fixture, demonstrating its capacity to compete across multiple competitions. However, Como will be without several key players including Assane Diao, Trevoh Chalobah, Moise Kean, Mattia Liberali, and Jesus Rodriguez due to injury.

Venezia, under newly appointed manager Davide Nicola, has won only one match this season—a 1-0 home victory against Napoli. The team has lost its last two league games: 1-0 to Genoa and 2-0 to Inter at home. Venezia has conceded 19 goals in 9 matches and faces significant defensive absences, including Bartol Franjic, Marin Sverko, and Pasquale Mazzocchi. Despite these challenges, Venezia's recent defensive setup has shown some resilience; in the match against Inter, the team created attacking opportunities (1.56 xG) though it ultimately conceded in the closing minutes, including two own goals.

Historically, Como has a limited edge in head-to-head meetings. The teams last met on March 8, 2025, when they drew 1-1, with Jonathan Ikoné scoring for Como and Christian Gytkjaer for Venezia. Over their last five encounters, Como has secured only one victory. The match kicks off at 08:30 Argentine time and can be viewed on DAZN across Europe and Disney+ Premium in South America.
