Como will face a rejuvenated Atalanta side at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia this Sunday, with the home side riding a wave of their recent thrashing of Torino last weekend.
The home team's remarkable rise continued this week as they capped off a stunning run of results with a 3-1 away victory over Fiorentina in the Coppa Italia. That success followed emphatic Serie A wins over Lazio (3-0) and Torino (6-0), underlining their growing confidence.
Those league triumphs have lifted Como into sixth place heading into the weekend, although progress has been slowed by mixed results against fellow top-seven sides, from whom they have collected just five points from six encounters.
Even so, they remain a difficult side to break down, particularly at home, where their six clean sheets this Serie A season stood as the league’s best record before this round of fixtures.
Atalanta, meanwhile, wrapped up the league phase of their Champions League campaign with a narrow 1-0 loss away to Royale Union SG, though qualification for the knockout stages softened the blow.
Attention now returns to domestic matters as they travel again, buoyed by a strong league run that has seen them avoid defeat in their last five Serie A matches. Their away form is also encouraging, with the Bergamo outfit unbeaten in their last three league trips.
However, performances against the division’s elite have been less convincing, as Atalanta have taken only six points from six matches against the current top six, highlighting the need for greater consistency if they are to mount a serious top-four challenge.

Key statistics

- Both teams played a full-time draw in their last encounter.
- BTTS has been played in their last three meetings.
Correct score prediction: Como 1-1 Atalanta
We anticipate an entertaining draw in this fixture as both teams possess immense offensive quality but have shown occasional defensive vulnerabilities.
We predict a 2-2 draw between Como and Atalanta based on the home side's rampant scoring form at the Sinigaglia and the visitors' tactical pedigree in big away games.
Given that Como just hit Torino for six and Atalanta are currently balancing Champions League fatigue with Serie A ambitions, we believe a share of the spoils in this game.
Pre-match odds and win probability: Como slight home favourites
- Home: 5/4 (2.25) – 44.4%
- Draw: 12/5 (3.40) – 29.4%
- Away: 21/10 (3.10) – 32.3%
*Odds provided by Ladbrokes. Subject to change.*
The odds lean slightly towards a Como victory, with the home side priced at 2.25, implying a 44.4% chance of claiming all three points. Atalanta are close behind at 3.10, which converts to a 32.3% probability of an away win, highlighting how competitive this matchup is expected to be.
The draw is rated at 3.40 (29.4%), suggesting a tight and potentially cagey encounter, but one where Como’s home advantage gives them a marginal edge.
Most recent head-to-head: Lazio edge previous meetings
The head-to-head record over the last few years shows that La Dea have had the upper hand. Looking at their last six competitive meetings, Atalanta have secured three wins, Como have managed one win, and there has been one draw.
The most recent clash in October 2025 finished 1-1 at the Gewiss Stadium, but before that, Como pulled off a stunning 3-2 away win in September 2024. Atalanta’s last victory in this fixture was a 2-1 home win in early 2025.
Interestingly, the matches played at the Sinigaglia have often been even tighter, with both sides finding the net in four of the last five meetings across all competitions.
