Como vs Bologna Prediction
Serie A Round 20
Match Date: January 10, 2026 (Local Time, Italy)
Venue: Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia
Serie A Round 20 brings an intriguing clash as Como host Bologna at the scenic Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia. Both sides have exceeded expectations this season and remain firmly in the race for European qualification, making this head-to-head a key fixture in the mid-season battle.
Our Prediction for Como vs Bologna
Como are continuing their impressive rise after returning to Italy’s top flight last season for the first time in over two decades. Under Cesca, the Lombardy side finished tenth with 49 points and have shown that result was no fluke.
This season began strongly, with Como suffering just one league defeat before winter. December proved more challenging, as losses to Inter and Roma briefly slowed their momentum. However, the response was convincing, highlighted by a dominant 3–0 victory over Pisa that underlined their attacking confidence and defensive solidity.
Bologna arrive with mixed emotions. Six months ago, they lifted the Coppa Italia, a historic achievement for the club. Yet that triumph was followed by a ninth-place Serie A finish and a disappointing Champions League campaign.
Under Vincenzo Italiano, Bologna have rediscovered rhythm in the Europa League and even managed to eliminate Inter in the Super Cup before falling to Napoli in the final. In the league, their ambitions are clear: a top-six finish at minimum. Still, recent defeats against Inter and Atalanta exposed lingering inconsistency, especially against high-intensity opponents.
Statistically, Como average 1.44 goals scored per match while conceding just 0.67. Bologna, led by Orsolini, score 1.39 goals per game but allow 1.06, indicating a slightly more vulnerable back line.
