Our predictions for Napoli vs Como
Match Prediction: Napoli 2-1 Como
Napoli, buoyed by recent home victories against Inter and Genoa, will look to exploit their attacking prowess. Their form suggests a strong start, with Politano and Lang likely to test Como's defence early. However, Como's resilience, demonstrated in draws against Atalanta and Cremonese, indicates they can hold firm and counter effectively, especially with Douvikas leading their line.
As the match progresses, Napoli's midfield, spearheaded by Gilmour and Anguissa, will aim to control the tempo. Como, with a solid defensive record at home, might frustrate Napoli's rhythm, forcing them into less structured play. The game could hinge on Napoli's ability to break down Como's disciplined setup, while Como will seek to capitalise on any Napoli lapses.
