- Venue: Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia
Two ambitious sides meet in northern Italy on Thursday evening as unbeaten Como take on RB Leipzig.
The in-form hosts have collected seven points from their opening three Serie A fixtures and come into this fixture with plenty of confidence after a commanding 4:1 victory at Genoa.
Contrastingly, RB Leipzig suffered a 3:1 defeat at Werder Bremen last weekend, but their attacking quality should ensure an entertaining contest at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia.
Como team overview
Como return to the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia after extending their unbeaten start to the season with a superb 4:1 victory at Genoa on Friday.
Assane Diao scored twice, while Martin Baturina and Nico Paz were also on target in an emphatic comeback victory.
Cesc Fabregas's side have taken seven points from three matches after kicking-off the new campaign with a 1:1 draw against Udinese and an impressive 2:1 victory at Napoli.
Como are preparing for their first appearance in Europe's leading club competition after securing a historic qualification last season. The hosts have not previously played in any European competition.
Head coach Fabregas is likely to retain the same first XI that started at Genoa. Moise Kean is pushing to replace Anastasios Douvikas after providing an assist from the bench on his debut.
Jayden Addai is Como's only confirmed absentee this week.

RB Leipzig team overview
RB Leipzig head to Italy after suffering a disappointing 3:1 defeat at Werder Bremen on Saturday.
Martin Demichelis's side were 3:0 down before Ridle Baku scored a stoppage-time consolation.
RB had made a winning start to their Bundesliga season with an impressive 3:0 home victory against Borussia Monchengladbach ten days ago.
A lack of consistency has been a recurring theme for the German side. Leipzig won six and lost six of 12 matches completed since the start of May (including pre-season friendlies).
High-scoring outcomes have been frequent. Only two of those games played over the past four months finished with fewer than three goals scored.
Head coach Demichelis is unable to call on several players this week. Castello Lukeba, Brajan Gruda, Romulo, Assan Ouedraogo, Christoph Baumgartner and Rocco Reitz are expected to remain unavailable.
Christopher Nkunku should continue to lead the line after joining the club on loan from Chelsea last week, with Johan Bakayoko and Antonio Nusa likely to operate from the flanks.

Prediction
Como have made the stronger start to their season, but Leipzig possess enough attacking quality to make this an open contest.
With both teams strong in the forward areas, I’m banking on over 2.5 goals on Thursday.
Three Reasons Why We Expect Over 2.5 Goals
- RB Leipzig have seen over 2.5 goals in 12 of their last 14 matches
- Como have seen over 2.5 goals in 3 of their last 4 matches (competitive fixtures)
- Como scored an average of 2.75 goals per game in their last 4 matches (competitive fixtures)
Main prediction Como - RB Leipzig
Over 2.5 goals
