Como, founded in 1907 and based at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia, are operating in the sharper end of Italian football in the 2026-27 season. Fourth in Serie A, they have also been involved in the Coppa Italia third round and the Champions League league phase, which gives Celtic supporters a reasonable frame for the level in question.
The squad is sizeable and young: 34 players with an average age of 24, and a market value of around £327.5m according to Transfermarkt. Their numbers point to a side with balance rather than bluster – tight at home, conceding just 0.3 goals per match, while carrying a more obvious threat away, where they average 2.2 goals scored.
Recent form has been strong, with wins at Torino and Fiorentina, a home victory over Sassuolo, and a goalless draw with Roma among their latest league results. Tasos Douvikas leads the scoring with eight goals, followed by Nico Paz on five, with Martin Baturina and Assane Diao each on four.
Como currently look like a serious Serie A side rather than a passing novelty: young, expensive, and in form. For Celtic, they would represent a technically capable opponent with a disciplined home record and enough away scoring to require proper attention.
📈 Key stats and insights
⚔️ How they compare to Celtic
Celtic hold the clear advantage in the table — top with 28 points — but Como present a stylistic challenge: Celtic's overall consistency and points edge are contrasted by Como's potent away scoring and compact home defence, so matches will hinge on Celtic nullifying Como's set-piece and away-threat dynamics rather than simply outscoring them in open play.
