Three Punchy Stats
- Como have scored 11 goals in four competitive matches this season, including eight across their last two games, giving Parma a sizeable defensive problem before recent form is even considered.
- Parma have registered just eight shots on target through three Serie A fixtures. With only one league goal to show for them, they need considerably more attacking influence than they have produced so far.
- Both teams have scored in all four Como matches this season. Their attack has repeatedly covered for the absence of a clean sheet, leaving Parma with some encouragement even amid the hosts’ superior form.
Scoring Consistency
Recent attacking records for Como and Parma are shown below.
Defensive Vulnerability
Recent defensive records for Como and Parma are shown below.
Cesc Fabregas’s side have taken seven points from their opening three league games, are unbeaten in nine matches stretching back to last season and have just beaten RB Leipzig 4-1 in their first Champions League fixture.
Parma arrive in a very different position. One point and one goal from three Serie A matches leaves Carlos Cuesta’s team needing attacking improvement, and a trip to a ground where they have failed to win on their last seven visits offers little comfort. The central question is whether Como can reproduce their recent intensity after Thursday’s European exertions.
Como have turned pressure into goals
There is substance behind Como’s strong results. After drawing 1-1 with Udinese, they won 2-1 at Napoli and 4-1 at Genoa before returning to the Sinigaglia and putting four past Leipzig.
That gives them 11 goals across four competitive matches this season, with their last two games producing identical 4-1 victories. Several attackers are contributing rather than one player carrying the burden. Tasos Douvikas, Nico Paz, Martin Baturina and Assane Diao have all registered multiple goals and assists, while Diao has scored three times in his last two appearances.
Moise Kean’s arrival adds another selection option, and Fabregas may rotate after making only one change for the Champions League opener. With Jayden Addai the only confirmed injury absentee, the hosts have the depth to freshen their side without stripping it of attacking quality.
Parma’s problem is efficiency as much as results
Parma’s start has been far less productive. Defeats to Cagliari and Juventus came without a goal before teenage forward Simone Lontani finally broke their league drought in the 1-1 draw with Monza.
The broader attacking return remains concerning. Parma have managed only eight shots on target across their first three Serie A fixtures. That is a small volume from which to build, particularly against opponents who have scored freely.
Their away record sharpens the issue. Parma have lost their last three league games on the road without scoring, including a 1-0 defeat at Como in May. They also lost five visits to top-seven sides last season. None of those numbers dictates what happens on Monday, but together they suggest a team that has found it difficult to create enough threat in demanding away assignments.
The one warning in Como’s start
For all their attacking authority, Como have yet to keep a clean sheet this season. Both teams have scored in all four of their matches, meaning their 11-goal output has been accompanied by four conceded.
That gives Parma at least one area of encouragement. Lontani’s equaliser against Monza ended their scoring drought, and Como’s defensive record shows opponents have found a route to goal even while being outscored.
The complication is personnel. Hans Nicolussi Caviglia remains out with a groin injury, while Adrian Bernabe and Ousmane Diallo are doubts. Sascha Britschgi, withdrawn against Monza with a knock, is expected to be available.
Como’s greater concern may simply be recovery. Fabregas has already stressed the challenge of asking a young squad to perform twice a week. Monday is the first domestic test of that new rhythm.

🎯 Pick 1: Como to win and both teams to score @ 21/10
Como enter this fixture with strong overall momentum, having taken seven points from their opening three Serie A matches and scored 11 goals across four competitive games this season. Cesc Fabregas’s side demonstrated their current attacking volume by securing back-to-back 4-1 victories over Genoa and RB Leipzig, supported by contributions from Tasos Douvikas, Nico Paz, Martin Baturina, and Assane Diao. Crucially for a combined market, Como have also conceded in every match this term, with all four of their competitive outings witnessing goals at both ends.
Parma present a contrasting profile, having recorded just one point and one goal from three league games alongside eight total shots on target. However, teenage forward Simone Lontani ended their scoring drought in the 1-1 draw against Monza, offering a route to goal against a Como defence that has yielded four goals in four matches. Parma have struggled on the road with three consecutive away league defeats without scoring, yet Como’s persistent lack of a clean sheet means the visitors face a defensive structure that routinely allows opponents onto the scoresheet.
The main challenge for the hosts lies in squad management following Thursday’s European exertions, alongside the confirmed injury absence of Jayden Addai. Parma also possess fitness doubts over Hans Nicolussi Caviglia, Adrian Bernabe, and Ousmane Diallo. Nevertheless, Como’s depth in forward positions paired with their consistent scoring pattern makes a home win paired with an opponent goal a well-supported selection.
🎯 Tactical Indicators
- Como have scored 11 goals across four competitive matches this season, including eight in their last two fixtures against Genoa and RB Leipzig.
- Both teams have scored in all four of Como's competitive matches this season, with four goals conceded alongside their 11 scored.
- Parma have struggled for shot volume with only eight shots on target across their first three Serie A matches.
Risk Factor: This selection fails if Parma fail to score, if the match ends in a draw, or if Parma win away.
Key Tactical Mismatch
11 goals scored across four matches this season, featuring back-to-back four-goal performances against Genoa and RB Leipzig.
Lost three consecutive away league games without scoring and winless in seven straight visits to Como.
⚔️ Pick 2: Como vs Parma 3-1 @ 9/1
A 3-1 home victory aligns with Como’s recent attacking metrics while reflecting their recurring defensive record. Fabregas’s team have registered 11 goals across four competitive games this term, scoring exactly four times in each of their last two fixtures against Genoa and RB Leipzig. Assane Diao has scored three goals in his last two appearances, while Tasos Douvikas, Nico Paz, and Martin Baturina have each delivered multiple goals and assists. This multi-player scoring contribution indicates that Como possess reliable options to build a multi-goal tally against a Parma side that lost five away matches against top-seven opponents last season.
The single goal for Parma is supported by Como’s complete absence of clean sheets this season. The hosts have conceded four goals across four matches, allowing every opponent to find the net regardless of the final outcome. Parma struggled for shot creation with only eight shots on target across three league games, but Simone Lontani’s goal against Monza demonstrated that Carlos Cuesta’s side can capitalise on limited opportunities. Parma have failed to win on their last seven visits to Como, including a 1-0 defeat in May, but Como’s current pattern of conceding makes a clean sheet unlikely.
The chief risk to this exact scoreline is Parma failing to score entirely, given their three consecutive away league defeats without a goal, or Como exceeding three goals as seen in their recent matches. Nevertheless, a 3-1 outcome remains a coherent reflection of Como’s high goal volume and persistent defensive concessions.
Risk Factor: This exact scoreline fails if Parma fail to score, if Como score fewer or more than 3 goals, or if the match ends in a draw or away win.
