Como, founded in 1907, are operating from a position of unusual strength in the 2026-27 season. Based at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia, they sit fifth in Serie A, with a young 34-man squad averaging 24 years of age and valued at around £327.5m by Transfermarkt.
Their league form has carried real weight: wins at Fiorentina, Genoa and Napoli sit alongside a home victory over Parma, with the recent 0-0 draw against Roma underlining a side capable of keeping matches tight. At home, Como have conceded only 0.5 goals per match on average, while away from home they have offered more punch, scoring two goals per match.
Tasos Douvikas leads their scoring with five goals, followed by Assane Diao on four and Martin Baturina on three. Como have also started matches with purpose, scoring the first goal inside 20 minutes in six of 16 league fixtures, a useful warning for any opponent inclined to feel their way into the evening.
Their season has also included the Coppa Italia third round and the Champions League league phase. For Celtic supporters, Como look less like a curiosity than a serious Italian side in strong domestic position, with enough defensive control and away threat to merit proper attention.
📈 Key stats and insights
⚔️ How they compare to Celtic
Against Celtic, Como offers a different challenge: Celtic occupy the summit with clear consistency and points advantage, while Como bring a strong defensive profile and an unusually productive away attack that could unsettle single-match ties; overall Celtic have the edge in league standing and sustained form, but Como's away threat and set-piece volume mean they are far from straightforward opponents.
