Match Information
Match Overview
Matchday 10 of the Serie A regular season brings a clear contrast in fortunes to the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia on November 1, when fourth-placed Como host Venezia, who sit 20th in the table. With the season beginning to take shape, the gap between the two sides makes this a fixture in which one team is looking to consolidate a high league position while the other is searching for the results needed to climb away from the bottom.
The primary factor is recent league form. Como have won all three of their most recent Serie A matches, beating Fiorentina 3-1 away on October 18, Sassuolo 2-0 at home on October 24 and Torino 3-1 away on October 27. That is eight goals scored and two conceded across those games. Venezia, by contrast, have lost their last two league outings, 1-0 at Genoa on October 25 and 2-0 at home to Inter on October 28, and have scored just one goal in their last three Serie A fixtures. Their October 17 home win over Napoli, 1-0, stands out as the one positive result in an otherwise difficult run that also includes defeats to Atalanta on October 12 and Lazio on September 19.
The secondary factor is scheduling. Como also played Manchester United in the UEFA Champions League on October 21, a 4-1 home win, and Feyenoord on October 14, a 3-2 away defeat, so the squad has handled a heavier workload alongside its league commitments. Venezia played on October 28 and so have a similar turnaround between matches. Squad depth may be relevant for both sides.
Neither team has reported any injuries, so both managers, Cesc Fàbregas for Como and D. Nicola for Venezia, should have full squads to choose from. Head-to-head history offers little separation: of the six previous meetings, Como have won two, Venezia two and two have finished level.

Team Form Analysis
Como
League Position: 4Como Form Analysis
Como arrive on a strong run, having won each of their last four matches in all competitions and three straight in Serie A. The league sequence began with a 3-1 away win at Fiorentina on October 18, followed by a 2-0 home victory over Sassuolo on October 24 and a 3-1 win at Torino on October 27. That amounts to eight goals scored and two conceded in three league games, which points to a side that is both productive going forward and generally secure at the back.
Their attacking output has been consistent, with at least two goals in every match during this stretch. The 4-1 Champions League home win over Manchester United on October 21 added to that scoring record, while the 3-2 away loss at Feyenoord on October 14 was the only defeat in the period and showed that Como can concede when matches become open.
Two of the three league wins came away from home, which is a useful indicator ahead of a fixture at their own ground. With the European fixtures sitting between league games, Como have been managing a busy calendar while keeping their results in Serie A on track, and they sit fourth in the table.
Venezia
League Position: 20Venezia Form Analysis
Venezia's recent form has been difficult, with four defeats in their last five Serie A matches. The one exception was a 1-0 home win over Napoli on October 17, a result that stands out against a run that also includes a 3-1 loss at Atalanta on October 12, a 1-0 loss at Genoa on October 25 and a 2-0 home defeat to Inter on October 28. Before that, they lost 2-0 at home to Lazio on September 19.
Goals have been scarce. Across the five matches listed, Venezia have scored just three times, and they were held scoreless in three of them. Defensively, they have conceded eight in total, though two of the defeats came by a single goal, suggesting that matches have often been tight even when results have gone against them.
The quality of opposition has been high, with Atalanta, Napoli, Inter and Lazio all among the fixtures, which provides context for some of the setbacks. Even so, the league position of 20th reflects the need for points. The win over Napoli shows that Venezia are capable of producing a result against strong opponents when their defensive organization holds.

Memorable Matches
The head-to-head record between these sides is closely balanced across six meetings since 2022, with two wins each and two draws. The most recent encounter came on March 8, 2025, when Como and Venezia drew 1-1, following a 2-2 draw in Venezia on December 8, 2024. Those two matches in the same season produced a share of the points each time and underlined how evenly matched the teams have been.
Earlier meetings featured more decisive outcomes. On April 1, 2023, Venezia won a high-scoring contest 3-2, and on August 20, 2023, they won 3-0, the biggest margin in the series. Como have had their own successes, including a 1-0 home win on November 6, 2022 and a 2-1 win on March 3, 2024. With goals in most of these matches, the fixture has often delivered entertaining football.
Venue Factor
Como host this fixture at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia, where they have met Venezia on several occasions in recent years. Past home meetings in the head-to-head record include a 1-0 win on November 6, 2022, a 2-1 win on March 3, 2024 and a 1-1 draw on March 8, 2025, so Como have not lost at home to Venezia in those games.
