Como v Napoli

Como vs Napoli Preview

Como would have breathed a huge sigh of relief at the end of last weekend's fixture away from home at Fiorentina asthe Italian top flight strugglers put an end a previously worrying three-match losing streak with a solid 2-0 win on the road at the Stadio Artemio Franchi which in turn lifted Como up into a more respectable looking 13th place in the table.

Napoli were involved in a third consecutive stalemate in Serie A last weekend when the league leaders were held to a 2-2 draw away from home at Lazio which followed previous draws with the likes of Roma and Udinese respectively.

Como had previously stumbled to three defeats on the trot in the domestic top flight at the hands of Atalanta, Bologna and Juventus respectively which had threatened to drag the upcoming hosts down near the relegation zone, but last week's victory will likely give Cesc Fàbregas's side a welcome boost.

However, league wins have been hard to come by for Como in recent times as the hosts have managed to capture just four wins from their previous 19 matches overall which also includes being dealt 10 defeats in the process as well, so the prospects of a home win here seems unlikely.

Goals for both sides looks probable though as seven out of Como's last 10 home games have resulted in both teams scoring.

Napoli have been involved in a few frustrating draws of late in the Italian top flight but nevertheless, Antonio Conte's side extended their unbeaten run to 10 games overall which has helped maintain their position at the top of the Serie A table heading into this weekend's action.

Having collected seven wins within these previous 10 games though, Napoli will be confident that they can return to winning ways on Sunday morning as the visitors look to fend off the challenge from second placed Inter Milan for supremacy at the top of the Serie A table this weekend.

Napoli also bring an impressive 12-match unbeaten run on their travels into this upcoming encounter at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia which consists of picking up eight wins within this period, so Conte's side will be eyeing off all three points here this Sunday.

The visitors have also found the back of the net in each of their last 10 away games in the Italian top flight so Napoli therefore stand a great chance of at least scoring here despite coming up against a rejuvenated Como outfit.

Como v Napoli Verdict

Como will be spurred on from last week's win away from home at Fiorentina as they look to topple the league leaders, while Napoli will be highly incentivised to pick up all three points here at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia in order to remain top of the table.
