Como — Cremonese : Match Preview and Prediction for September 27,2025

Como’s European Ambitions

In their second consecutive year in Serie A, Como is setting their sights on qualifying for European competitions. Cesc Fàbregas’s squad has reportedly invested over 100 million euros in player reinforcements this summer, a testament to the financial capabilities of their Indonesian owners, who are dedicated to enhancing the team’s playing potential. Following a 10th-place finish last season, “The Lakers” are expected to make a significant push forward this campaign.

Recent Strong Performances

The Spanish coach’s team is currently adjusting to its elevated status. The past week proved quite successful for the hosts. They first orchestrated a determined comeback to defeat Fiorentina 2-1 on the road, with new signing Addai netting the winning goal in the 94th minute. This was followed by a decisive 3-0 victory over Sassuolo in the Coppa Italia, effectively sealing the result in the first half.

Eyeing a Hat-Trick of Victories

It’s evident that the hosts are building momentum and are strongly positioned to claim their third consecutive win in a week against Cremonese. For this match, Como will be without Diao and Dossena.

Cremonese’s Promising Serie A Debut

As Serie A newcomers, Cremonese have made a notably solid start to the Italian championship. This is particularly impressive given that Davide Nicola, who successfully steered Cagliari clear of relegation last season and enjoyed a decent campaign with the Sardinians, took the helm before the current season began.

Recent Form and Injury Concerns

The team was eliminated from the Coppa Italia, granting them a mid-week rest. Despite this, Cremonese secured a 0-0 draw away at Verona in their last league match, marking their second consecutive goalless draw in the championship. The newcomers are actively accumulating points, currently placed in the top 6 with two wins and two draws after four rounds. However, it’s highly improbable they will climb higher; it’s important to recognize that the team’s resources are not among the strongest, and the visitors are currently overperforming early in the season. They are likely to suffer their first defeat of the season in regular time when they visit Como. Cremonese will be without Collocolo for the Como match, while Sarmiento, Paiero, and Jamie Vardy (Cremonese’s most prominent new signing) are all listed as doubtful.
