Table-topping Napoli take on newly promoted Como.
In a bid to extend their perfect home record against Serie A newcomers Como, league leaders Napoli aim for back-to-back victories in an enticing Friday night clash at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
Napoli
No other Italian side has turned as many heads as Napoli since Serie A really got going. The Blues are surprisingly seated at the top of the league table with 13 points, just one point ahead of their closest rivals, Juventus.
A 2-0 win over Monza last weekend helped Napoli bounce back to winning ways, boasting a record of four wins, one draw, and one loss. Since their opening day defeat against Verona, Napoli have amassed an impressive 13 points from a possible 15.
A home game against Como couldn't come at a better time, as Napoli look to head into the international break with a victory. Napoli have won each of their 11 home Serie A matches against Como and have a 77% winning rate against them overall.
A 4-3-3 formation is expected, featuring Romelu Lukaku, Matteo Politano, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in attack. Politano and Kvaratskhelia, both of whom scored against Monza, will be eager to add to their goal tally.
Como
Newcomers Como earned themselves a respectable 10th place after recent back-to-back victories, including last weekend’s 3-2 win over Verona. Having returned to the top flight after a 21-year absence, Como have settled into life in Serie A with a balanced record of 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses.
Friday’s fixture against Napoli presents an opportunity for the newcomers to temporarily climb four places up the table, should they triumph over the table-topping side. However, Como’s historical record against Napoli will be a source of concern, as they have achieved the fewest victories against this opponent in the competition.
Cesc Fàbregas, surprisingly, has only a 29% winning rate with Como, having managed 7 games in all competitions. The team has only one victory, with four draws and 17 defeats against the Azzurri.
Patrick Cutrone, who scored a brace in the victory over Verona, will maintain his place at the head of the 4-2-3-1 formation when Como visits the Diego Armando Maradona stadium. The Lariani have the advantage of no injury worries ahead of Friday’s game.
