Como continue their pursuit of European qualification when they take on Udinese in Udine on Monday evening.
Cesc Fabregas’s men come into this fixture looking to build on a superb winning run before the international break, while Udinese aim for back-to-back wins after a hard-fought victory at Genoa.
Set to meet for only the fourth time since 2003, Como edged to victory in the reverse fixture at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia and come into this match as favourites to extend their winning run.

Udinese team overview
Udinese return to Serie A action after a well-deserved 2:0 win at Genoa two weeks ago. Top scorer Keinan Davis’s stoppage-time goal put the seal on a fine victory for Kosta Runjaic’s side.
Consistency remains the biggest issue for an Udinese side that had lost four and won just one of six Serie A wins before their win at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium.
Another mid-table campaign sees the home side 11th in the division, 18 points behind their in-form opponents this weekend.
Udinese have struggled against Serie A’s top sides this season. The hosts slipped to 1:0 defeats in recent home games against Juventus, Bologna Inter, and a similar outcome could be on the cards this weekend.
Head coach Runjaic has five injury issues this weekend. Udinese have several absentees ahead of this fixture. Alessandro Zanoli, Nicolo Bertola, Adam Buksa and Jordan Zemura are all ruled out through injury.
Keinan Davis is suspended due to an accumulation of yellow cards.

Como team overview
Como come into Monday’s Serie A contest full of confidence after an impressive 5-0 win against Pisa two weeks ago. Argentine playmaker Nico Paz was in superb form, scoring his tenth goal of the season to cap another excellent display for Cesc Fabregas’s side.
I Lariani have been in superb form before the international break, securing five successive Serie A victories. Over a longer period, Como lost just one of 13 previous fixtures across all competitions.
Particularly impressive on their travels, Fabregas’s side picked up victories in four of their last five away Serie A games.
A potentially tight encounter is likely to develop at Bluenergy Stadium. Udinese have seen under 2.5 goals in three of their last five home matches. Como have seen under 2.5 goals scored in three of their last four road matches and in two of three previous encounters against Udinese.
Still, with recent form, and two wins against Udinese in the past year, Como will be confident of picking up the points on Monday.

Prediction
Como have been in superb form, and they should have enough momentum to see-off an inconsistent Udinese side.
An away win is my preferred pick for Monday’s Serie A encounter.
Three Reasons Why We Expect Como to Win
- Udinese lost 4 of their last 7 matches
- Como won 4 of their last 5 away matches
- Como won their last 5 matches (Serie A)
