Como vs Parma Prediction: Key Stats and Betting Tips
Como welcome Parma to Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia on 14 September 2026 for a Serie A clash that already feels significant at both ends of the early table. The hosts have started brightly and arrive in good shape near the top, while the visitors are trying to stop a worrying slide towards the relegation places.
After three rounds, Como sit 4th with 7 points, unbeaten and boasting a +4 goal difference. They have done all their work away from home so far, scoring freely and looking organised enough at the back to suggest their strong start is no fluke. Parma, by contrast, are 16th on just 1 point, with only 1 goal scored and 4 conceded across their opening three fixtures.
With Como vs Parma prediction markets heavily favouring the hosts, this match offers a fascinating test of whether Como can translate their excellent away form to their home ground, and whether Parma can rediscover a cutting edge in attack to upset the odds.
Como vs Parma Key Stats
- Como are 4th with 7 points from 3 matches (2 wins, 1 draw, 7 goals for, 3 against), while Parma are 16th with 1 point (0 wins, 1 draw, 2 defeats, 1 goal for, 4 against).
- In their last three Serie A meetings, Como are unbeaten against Parma, with two wins (1-0 away on 3 May 2025 and 1-0 at home on 17 May 2026) and one 0-0 draw in Parma on 25 October 2025.
- Season statistics show Como averaging 2.3 goals scored and 1.0 conceded per match over 3 games, while Parma average just 0.3 scored and 1.3 conceded over the same number of matches.
Como vs Parma — Tale of the Tape
- Position: 4 vs 16
- Points: 7 vs 1
- Goals For: 7 vs 1
- Goals Against: 3 vs 4
- Clean Sheets: 0 vs 0
The standings underline just how contrasting these starts have been. Across 3 matches, Como have taken 7 points from a possible 9, powered by 7 goals scored and only 3 conceded. Their +4 goal difference reflects a side that has been both proactive in attack and relatively secure at the back, despite all their fixtures coming on the road so far.
Parma’s early numbers are far more concerning: only 1 point from 3 matches, a -3 goal difference, and just a single goal scored. They have failed to win at home in two attempts and lost their only away game 2-0. With both sides yet to keep a clean sheet in the 2026 Serie A season according to the broader statistics, this matchup shapes up as a test of whether Como’s attacking fluency can overpower Parma’s struggling forward line.
Como vs Parma Key Matchups
M. Baturina vs P. Almqvist
Martin Baturina has been one of Como’s standout performers in the early weeks. The 22-year-old midfielder has 2 goals and 1 assist in 3 appearances, with a strong 7.17 rating. He has taken 5 shots (3 on target), created 3 key passes, and completed 90 passes at an impressive 87% accuracy. His ability to link play and arrive in dangerous positions makes him central to Como’s attacking structure.
For Parma, Pontus Almqvist appears more in the disciplinary charts than the scoring ones so far, but his role off the bench has still been notable. In 3 appearances totalling 48 minutes, he has picked up 1 yellow card, attempted 2 dribbles, and been involved in 8 duels, winning half of them. While he has yet to score or assist, his direct running could be crucial if Parma look to hit Como on transitions. The battle between Baturina’s control in midfield and Almqvist’s attempts to stretch the game when introduced could define the rhythm of the contest.
Assane Diao vs Parma Back Line
Assane Diao offers another major threat for Como. In 3 appearances (2 starts) and 194 minutes, he has matched Baturina’s output with 2 goals and 1 assist, backed by a 7.2 rating. Diao has fired 7 shots (3 on target), produced 6 key passes, and completed 84 passes at 86% accuracy, showing he can both finish and create. His 12 dribble attempts with 6 successes underline the danger he poses when driving at defenders.
Parma’s defence has conceded 4 goals in 3 matches, with their biggest away defeat a 2-0 loss. With no clean sheets yet and an average of 1.3 goals conceded per game, containing Diao’s movement between the lines and in wide areas will be a major challenge. If Parma’s centre-backs and full-backs cannot close him down early, Como’s attacking numbers suggest they will find a way through.
Head-to-Head: Last Meetings
Recent meetings between Como and Parma have been competitive but have tilted slightly in Como’s favour, especially in Serie A. The last five clashes span both Serie A and Serie B and show a pattern of tight scorelines, often decided by a single goal.

Como vs Parma Prediction
All indicators point towards Como having the upper hand. They come into this fixture unbeaten, with 2 wins and a draw from 3 matches and an average of 2.3 goals per game. Parma, by contrast, have struggled badly in front of goal and have already lost twice. The head-to-head record in recent Serie A meetings also favours Como, who have won both of the last two league encounters 1-0.
The prediction metrics give Como a 45% chance of victory, with the draw also at 45% and Parma just 10%. That combination suggests a strong lean towards the hosts, but also recognises the possibility of a low-scoring stalemate if Parma can frustrate them. Given Como’s attacking form and Parma’s lack of cutting edge, the likeliest pattern is Como controlling possession, creating the better chances, and eventually breaking through, while Parma rely on sporadic counter-attacks.
Predicted Score: Como 2-0 Parma
Como Recent Form
Como’s recent form is excellent. They are unbeaten in their first 3 Serie A matches, with a sequence of two wins and one draw. Over those games they have scored 7 goals and conceded 3, averaging 2.3 scored and 1.0 conceded per match. Their last-five form index is very strong, with high attacking and defensive ratings, underlining a team in rhythm and full of confidence.
Parma Recent Form
Parma’s recent form is poor. They have taken just 1 point from their opening 3 matches, with two defeats and one draw. Their attack has been particularly blunt, with only 1 goal scored and an average of 0.3 per game, while conceding 1.3 per match. Their last-five form index is very low, especially in attack, indicating a side struggling to create and convert chances.
Como Possible Starting Lineup
Likely key players for Como (by position): GK J. Butez or Robert Sánchez; Defenders T. Chalobah, Yan Couto, A. Dossena, M. Kempf, Álex Valle; Midfielders M. Baturina, M. Caqueret, Luis Milla, N. Paz, M. Perrone, S. Ricci, L. da Cunha; Forwards Assane Diao, T. Douvikas, M. Kean, Jesús Rodríguez.
Como have predominantly used a 4-2-3-1 setup this season, which suits their creative midfielders and wide forwards. Baturina is likely to operate as a central playmaker, with Diao and possibly Kean or Douvikas providing the main goal threat. With no clean sheets yet, the defensive unit will want to tighten up, but the balance of the squad suggests they will prioritise proactive, possession-based football at home.
Parma Possible Starting Lineup
Likely key players for Parma (by position): GK E. Corvi; Defenders F. Carboni, E. Del Prato, Diego Carlos, L. Valenti, A. N’Diaye; Midfielders Adrián Bernabé, B. Cremaschi, M. Keita, H. Nicolussi, E. Valeri; Forwards P. Almqvist, G. Fabbian, Ousmane Diallo, M. Frigan, D. Romero, E. Touré.
Parma have alternated between 4-3-3, 4-4-2 and 3-4-2-1 across their three matches, indicating some tactical uncertainty. They may opt for a more conservative shape here to protect their back line, with Bernabé and Keita key to linking any counters. With no player yet standing out in the scoring charts, the onus will be on their forwards to be more clinical when chances arise.

Betting Tips: Como vs Parma
Exactly 3 distinct tips from different markets:
- Result Tip: Back Como to win. The hosts are unbeaten with 7 points from 3 matches and a strong attacking output, while Parma have 1 point, no wins, and a struggling attack. The prediction metrics give Como a 45% chance of victory against just 10% for Parma. Market odds on the home win range from 1.20 to 1.30, implying roughly a 76.9% to 83.3% chance of a Como success, underlining them as clear favourites.
- Goals Tip: Under 3.5 total goals. Recent head-to-heads in Serie A have been low scoring (1-0, 0-0, 1-0), and Parma average only 0.3 goals per game this season. Como score well but also tend to control matches rather than engage in shootouts. With Parma’s attack misfiring, a comfortable but not explosive home win looks more likely than a goal fest.
- Value Tip: Como to win to nil. Parma have failed to score in 2 of their 3 matches and have only 1 goal all season, while Como’s attacking trio of Baturina, Diao and Douvikas have combined for 6 goals already. Given Parma’s lack of cutting edge and Como’s ability to dominate territory, a home win without conceding offers an appealing value angle at longer odds than the straight home win.
