SSC Napoli vs Como 1907
Match Preview
Two of last season's Champions League qualifiers meet early in the new Serie A season when Napoli host Como at the Maradona. Napoli finished runners-up behind Inter in 2025-26, while Como finished fourth to reach the Champions League for the first time in the club's history. With Napoli entering a new era under Massimiliano Allegri, both sides want an early marker for their ambitions this season.
Como's rise has been built around Nico Paz, voted Serie A's best midfielder last season and retained this summer despite Real Madrid interest, with Cesc Fabregas backed by heavy investment in the squad. Napoli lost Romelu Lukaku to Fenerbahce but added Kevin De Bruyne, still working back from injury. Napoli have won 14 of their last 17 meetings with Como at home, including a 3-1 win last season, and Como haven't won in Naples since 2003.
Our prediction: 2-1
