Como, founded in 1907, are operating from a strong position in the 2026-27 season. Sixth in Serie A and based at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia, they have moved beyond novelty status and into the category of a serious Italian opponent.
The squad is sizeable – 40 players with an average age of 25 – and valued at around £327.5m by Transfermarkt. Their season has also included the Champions League league phase, a useful marker of the level they are now dealing with.
Recent league form has been strong, including a 2-1 win away to Napoli, a 4-1 win at Cremonese and a 1-0 home victory over Parma. They have also shown a habit of starting quickly, scoring the first goal inside 20 minutes in eight of 17 league matches.
There is balance in the numbers rather than obvious excess. Como have been difficult to break down at home, while their away form carries a decent attacking edge, averaging 1.5 goals per match on the road. Tasos Douvikas leads their scoring with two goals, with Martin Baturina on one.
For Celtic supporters, Como profile as a well-resourced Serie A side in good league form, with enough structure and pace of start to require proper attention.
📈 Key stats and insights
⚔️ How they compare to Celtic
Against Celtic, Como offer a very different profile: Celtic have the edge in attack, defence and early‑season form, while Como’s strengths are situational—better away, strong at winning corners and able to nick narrow wins; overall Celtic arrive as the more complete side, with Como capable of causing problems only if allowed to turn away set pieces or exploit an early lead.
