Bitesize Prediction: Como vs Udinese – 03/01/26
Competition: Serie A
Market: Como win
Odds: 8/11 @ Pribet
In search of consecutive Serie A victories this Saturday lunchtime, Como will host Udinese at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia.
When it comes to the home side, although Como began December with back-to-back Serie A losses, Cesc Fabregas’ team ended 2025 on a high. They enjoyed a dominant 3-0 victory away at Lecce, and the former Arsenal captain has seen his team earn plenty of accolades from across Europe. Kicking off the New Year in the European slots, the Lombardy-based club is aware that a win this weekend could bring them closer to the Champions League spots. Concluding November with a 2-0 triumph over Sassuolo, Como has developed a noteworthy reputation for their persistent strength at home. This includes a memorable 2-0 victory against Italian giants Juventus on October 19th, and Fabregas’ team remains unbeaten in their first nine encounters at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia in all competitions. It’s also important to note that the hosts have endured only one Serie A defeat in Lombardy over the last 11 months.
On the other hand, while Udinese managed a remarkable upset last month by claiming a 1-0 win at home against the reigning Italian champions Napoli, the Little Zebras have significantly struggled to maintain stability. After experiencing a heavy 5-1 loss to relegation-threatened Fiorentina last month, Kosta Runjaic’s squad lost their position in the top half of the Serie A table. Their Coppa Italia journey ended disappointingly on December 2nd, suffering a 2-0 defeat against Juventus, and Saturday’s visitors have achieved only two wins in their last eight encounters with top-tier teams. After returning from the international break in November with a 3-0 loss at home to Bologna, Udinese should also be wary regarding their latest clash with Como. They faced a 4-1 defeat when visiting Lombardy a year ago, which leads us to predict a similar home victory here.
