Como – Parma: Initial situation
Both Como and Parma are looking for a place in the middle of the standings and see this as an opportunity for a rare win this year. Every point matters on this level and there is no doubt that we will witness a game with high energy.
Como Stats & Form
Only six years ago, Como played in the fourth tier of Italian football, and the times when they were in Serie A looked like they would never happen again. But then, with a couple of investments and developing young players, the club has done the unthinkable and made it back to Serie A for the first time since the 2002-03 season. Many of you probably haven’t heard that Cesc Fabregas has retired from his playing career, but the Spanish legend is actually the coach behind this success. Como is currently in 14th place in the standings with 2 wins in 7 games. The first one came on the road against Atalanta, as Como scored three quick goals in the second half for a 3-2 win. The very next game, they were on the same level and won 3-2 against Verona. In the last matchday, Como could not do the same and lost 3-1 to Napoli, but the effort and the energy were definitely there.
Parma Stats & Form
Parma is another team that returned to Serie A this season after spending the last three in the second tier. They kept the majority of the roster from the last season and added a couple of players with respectable Serie A experience hoping to keep a place in the league. Parma is currently 15th in the standings with only one win in seven games. They were able to defeat Milan by 2-1 which was an impressive performance by them but then won only two points in the next five games. In the last matchday, Parma played 0-0 against Bologna on the road.
Como – Parma: Head to Head

Betting tip and prediction: Como – Parma (19.10.2024)
At first sight, the matchup between Como and Parma does not look like a game you don’t want to miss, but there are many reasons why this contest is worth your attention. Both Como and Parma were established over a century ago, and after a while they got themselves in a position to play in the top tier of Italian football. Parma is back after three seasons in Serie B, while Como waited for this opportunity for more than two decades. Como is widely known as a touristic place, but this season the small town is on the Serie A football map. Cesc Fabregas finished his impressive playing career in this club, and right after it, he jumped into the coaching position. He needed only a season to get the team back to Serie A, and after a rough start, Como won back-to-back games to get out of the bottom three. This team is all about heart, as their budget is not on the same level as most of the teams in the league. Scoring three goals in two consecutive games shows that this team knows how to play, and the game against Parma looks like a real opportunity for another successful story. Patrick Cutrone has been with the team in the past three seasons and has grown into a reliable striker who has turned many heads in Serie A. On the other side, Parma has the Romanian striker Dennis Man, who has been with the club since their last season in the top tier. Both teams play aggressively, and even though they are in the bottom half of the standings, they are on the share of eighth place in the league with 10 goals so far in the season. Again, they will go all-in on the offensive end, so we expect a high-scoring game, and we go with over 2.5 goals in total.
