- Como kept 19 Serie A clean sheets last season, while Leipzig travel having taken just one point from their last six Champions League away fixtures.
Winning Form
Recent attacking records for Como and RB Leipzig are shown below.
Defensive Record
Recent defensive records for Como and RB Leipzig are shown below.
Cesc Fabregas’s side finished fourth in Serie A last season, won four of their final five league games and have carried that momentum forward, most recently beating Genoa 4-1 away.
RB Leipzig bring far greater European experience, entering their eighth Champions League campaign, but their recent record in this competition offers Como encouragement. Leipzig have collected only one point from their last six Champions League away matches and arrive after a 3-1 Bundesliga defeat at Werder Bremen.
The sharper question is whether Como can turn an impressive domestic rise into the same level of control against opponents who also produce substantial attacking numbers.
Como Are Creating Pressure Without Sacrificing Control
Across their last 10 league and Champions League matches, Como have won six, drawn two and lost two while averaging 61.7% possession. Their 16.9 attempts per game have produced 1.9 goals, with 5.6 shots on target.
Those figures suggest a side capable of sustaining pressure rather than relying on isolated moments. The defensive return strengthens the picture: Como have conceded only 1.0 goal per game from 9.6 opposition attempts and just 2.4 shots on target.
That balance also fits last season’s broader record. Fabregas’s team kept a league-high 19 clean sheets while qualifying through a club-record fourth-place finish. Their progress has not been built solely around an expensive collection of attacking players.
The 4-1 win at Genoa was another demonstration of their threat. Como had 62% possession and nine shots on target, with Assane Diao scoring twice and Martin Baturina and Nico Paz also finding the net.
Leipzig Carry Greater Firepower — And Greater Defensive Exposure
Leipzig’s recent attacking output is actually stronger. They have won seven of their last 10 league and Champions League games, scoring 2.2 goals per match from 16.0 attempts and 7.1 efforts on target.
The difference lies at the other end.
They have conceded 1.5 goals per game while allowing 12.3 attempts and 4.3 shots on target. Compared with Como’s defensive figures, Leipzig are giving opponents considerably more access to goal.
Their 3-1 defeat at Werder Bremen illustrated the danger of mistaking control of the ball for control of a match. Leipzig held 71% possession but managed only four shots on goal. Possession at that level is impressive only if it turns into enough meaningful attacking work.
Como therefore face a side with serious scoring capacity but one that has also been more permissive defensively.
Douvikas Gives Como a Proven Focal Point
Anastasios Douvikas scored 14 Serie A goals last season and has already added two this term. Across Como’s recent 10-match sample he leads their scoring with five, while Paz, Diao and Lucas Da Cunha have three each.
That spread matters. Como are not dependent on one player for all of their end product, and the contribution of Paz, Diao and Baturina at Genoa underlined the variety available around Douvikas.
Moise Kean adds another option after making his first cameo against Genoa. He brings five goals and one assist from six previous Champions League appearances, although Douvikas’s current output gives Fabregas little reason to regard the centre-forward position as an obvious weakness.
Leipzig have their own attacking depth, but Christoph Baumgartner, who scored 17 times in all competitions last season, is unavailable alongside Rocco Reitz and Romulo. Brajan Gruda and Assan Ouedraogo are doubts.

🎯 Pick 1: Both Teams To Score YES @ 8/11
RB Leipzig travel to the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia with significant European credentials, but their defensive statistics across recent months establish a clear path for goals at both ends. Marco Rose’s team have conceded 1.5 goals per match over their past 10 fixtures in all competitions, allowing 12.3 total attempts and 4.3 shots on target per game. That defensive open-handedness is even more pronounced away from home, where Leipzig have gathered just a single point from their previous six Champions League away trips.
Como enter their Champions League debut with genuine attacking momentum that directly exploits those defensive gaps. Cesc Fabregas’s team have generated 16.9 attempts and 5.6 shots on target per match over their last 10 outings, converting that pressure into 1.9 goals per game. Their recent 4-1 victory at Genoa demonstrated how effectively they move the ball into dangerous areas, accumulating 62% possession and nine shots on target. While Leipzig possess upper-tier attacking output of their own—averaging 2.2 goals per match from 7.1 shots on target—their recent 3-1 defeat at Werder Bremen showed how easily high possession (71%) can leave them exposed if opposition forwards strike with directness.
The obvious counter-evidence lies in Como’s underlying defensive discipline, having kept 19 Serie A clean sheets last season while limiting recent opponents to only 2.4 shots on target per game. However, facing a seasoned European side averaging 16 attempts per fixture presents a far sterner test than domestic duties. With Leipzig producing strong scoring numbers yet remaining permissive at the back, both sides hold legitimate avenues to score.
🎯 Tactical Indicators
- Leipzig average 2.2 goals scored and 1.5 goals conceded per match across their last 10 outings in all competitions.
- Como generate 16.9 attempts and 1.9 goals per game over their past 10 matches, culminating in a 4-1 victory over Genoa.
- Leipzig have managed just one point from their previous six Champions League away fixtures, yielding 12.3 attempts per match defensively.
Risk Factor: Como kept 19 clean sheets in Serie A last season and hold opponents to just 2.4 shots on target per game, so a disciplined defence could deny Leipzig a goal.
Key Tactical Mismatch
Averaging 16.9 attempts and 5.6 shots on target per match across their last 10 outings, producing 1.9 goals per game.
Conceding 1.5 goals and 12.3 attempts per match over their last 10 games, taking one point from six Champions League away trips.
⚔️ Pick 2: Como vs RB Leipzig 2-1 @ 9/1
Justifying a 2-1 victory for Como requires balancing their attacking form against Leipzig’s away vulnerabilities. Fabregas’s side average 1.9 goals per match over their past 10 outings, winning six of those fixtures and defeating Genoa 4-1 in their previous game. Anastasios Douvikas leads their scoring with five goals across those 10 appearances, backed by secondary goals from Assane Diao, Martin Baturina, and Nico Paz. Facing a Leipzig team that concedes 1.5 goals per match and allowed three in their 3-1 loss to Werder Bremen, Como have enough scoring evidence to plausibly reach two goals against visitors who have gathered only one point from six Champions League away trips.
At the same time, holding Leipzig completely scoreless remains unlikely despite Como’s solid defensive figures. The German side average 2.2 goals per game across their past 10 matches, testing goalkeepers with an average of 7.1 shots on target per game. Even with Christoph Baumgartner unavailable, Leipzig’s 16.0 attempts per match generate continuous threat in the attacking third. While Como allowed only 2.4 shots on target per match over their last 10 games and recorded 19 Serie A clean sheets last season, elite European opposition presents a heightened test.
The principal risk to a 2-1 scoreline is how narrow the winning window remains. Should Leipzig convert a second chance from their 16 attempts per game or Como fail to translate their 61.7% possession into a second goal, the scoreline collapses instantly. Nevertheless, a 2-1 home victory remains a coherent reflection of both teams’ recent statistical returns.
Risk Factor: Exact scoreline bets are sensitive to single events; a second Leipzig goal or late Como goal would void the 2-1 prediction.
