Match Information
Match Overview
Como welcome Parma to Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia on September 14, 2026 in a Serie A Regular Season fixture that finds the two clubs at opposite ends of the table, with Como sitting third and Parma down in 16th. The gulf in current league position is the standout storyline here, and it is backed up by the form both sides have shown across their opening rounds.
Como arrive on the back of an excellent start under Cesc Fàbregas, winning their last two league outings, including a 1-4 away rout of Genoa on September 4 and a 1-2 win at Napoli on August 30, sandwiched around an opening-day 1-1 draw at Udinese. That run of results, scoring heavily on the road against tough opposition, supports their position near the top of the table and suggests a team playing with real confidence going forward. Parma, by contrast, have managed just one point from their last two league matches, drawing 1-1 with Monza at home on September 6 and losing 2-0 away to Juventus on August 29, following an opening 0-1 home defeat to Cagliari. Carlos Cuesta's side also went out in the Coppa Italia Round of 32 against Cremonese on September 1, though that cup exit is only relevant here as a scheduling factor rather than a reflection of league form.
Neither squad carries any reported injury absences into this match, meaning both managers should be able to select from full-strength options. For Como that continuity is a considerable asset, allowing Fàbregas to maintain the same personnel that has performed so well in recent weeks. For Parma, a clean bill of health at least offers Cuesta the chance to reset after a difficult run of results as they look to close the gap on the sides above them.

Team Form Analysis
Como
League Position: 3Como Form Analysis
Como head into this fixture in outstanding form, winning two of their last three league matches and drawing the other, a run that has propelled them to third in Serie A. The attacking numbers stand out in particular, with four goals scored in the away win at Genoa on September 4 and two more in the win at Napoli on August 30, both matches coming against opponents on the road rather than at home. That capacity to score freely away from Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia points to a side with genuine attacking threat regardless of venue. Defensively, Como have shown they can be breached, conceding in each of their last three competitive matches, but the goals difference has consistently favored them. Two pre-season friendlies against Liverpool and Arsenal, both ending in draws, offered useful measuring sticks against elite opposition heading into the campaign. Overall, the trajectory is clearly positive, with Fàbregas's side combining attacking productivity with results against quality Serie A opponents.
Parma
League Position: 16Parma Form Analysis
Parma's recent form has been difficult, with just one draw from their last three Serie A matches and no wins in that span. A 1-1 home draw with Monza on September 6 followed back-to-back defeats: 2-0 away to Juventus on August 29 and 0-1 at home to Cagliari on August 22. The attacking output has been modest, with only two goals scored across those three league fixtures, while defensively they have also struggled to keep clean sheets against varied opposition. Parma's Coppa Italia campaign added further strain, with a 0-2 home loss to Cremonese on September 1 following an earlier 2-0 win over Catania on August 14, though the cup results sit outside the league form picture. With 16th place in the table reflecting this indifferent run, Carlos Cuesta's side will be looking to arrest the slide and find more consistency in front of goal as the season progresses.

Memorable Matches
These two sides have a long-running Serie A history stretching back over a decade. Their most recent meeting on May 17, 2026 saw Como edge it 1-0. The corresponding fixture the previous season, on October 25, 2025, ended goalless in Parma. Further back, the April 6, 2022 meeting in Parma produced a thrilling 4-3 win for the home side, one of the highest-scoring encounters between the two clubs in recent years. Across the last ten meetings, the fixture has produced a healthy mix of results, including several draws, underlining how tightly contested this rivalry has often been regardless of the two teams' league standing at the time.
Venue Factor
Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia provides an intimate, tightly-packed setting that has become a notable factor in Como's home matches, with the compact ground helping generate an atmosphere that visiting teams often find challenging to navigate. For Parma, the trip to Como represents a test of their away form after a run of results that has yielded limited returns on the road, including the September 6 home draw with Monza that did little to build momentum before this away assignment. The head-to-head record shows Como have found success at this venue in the past, including the 1-0 win recorded on May 17, 2026, and with the club currently third in Serie A, home advantage adds another dimension to a fixture already shaped by contrasting league form.
