Como are one of Italian football’s older names, founded in 1907 and based at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia. Their current position is not built on nostalgia: fifth in Serie A, with a squad valued at around £299m by Transfermarkt, they look like a club operating with clear top-flight weight.
The squad is a sizeable one at 33 players, with an average age of 25, which gives Como a balance of depth and freshness. Their league form has been strong enough to command attention: recent wins over Parma, Hellas Verona and Genoa came without conceding, either side of a goalless draw with Napoli.
There is structure to the numbers as well as the results. At home, Como average 1.8 goals scored and 0.8 conceded per match; away, they still score at 1.4 while conceding only 0.7. They have also started sharply, scoring the first goal inside 20 minutes in eight of 17 league matches.
Tasos Douvikas leads the scoring with 16 goals, supported by Nico Paz on 13 and Martin Baturina on eight. Como also reached the Coppa Italia semi-finals, underlining a season of substance rather than a brief run of form. For Celtic supporters, they are a neutral opponent of real standing: disciplined, efficient, and currently high in Serie A.

⚔️ How they compare to Celtic
The supplied data does not include Celtic’s matching figures, so a direct statistical edge cannot be judged honestly. What is clear is that Como profile as a dangerous opponent for Celtic: they combine efficient scoring with the strongest defensive record in this sample, and their away record suggests they are comfortable absorbing pressure rather than needing home conditions to function.
