Como, founded in 1907, are in the middle of a striking 2026-27 season. Based at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia, they sit first in Serie A and have also competed in the Champions League League Phase.
The squad is young, sizeable and expensively assembled: 33 players with an average age of 24, valued at around £327.5m by Transfermarkt. That profile is reflected in their league form, with recent wins away to Genoa, Napoli, Cremonese and Hellas Verona, plus a home victory over Parma.
Their away numbers carry the threat, with Como averaging 2.3 goals scored and one conceded per match on the road. They have also started sharply, scoring the first goal inside 20 minutes in seven of 17 league matches. Martin Baturina, Assane Diao and Tasos Douvikas share the scoring lead with two goals each, with Nico Paz on one.
For Celtic supporters, Como look less like a curiosity and more like a serious modern Italian side: young, valuable, in form, and currently setting the pace in Serie A.
📈 Key stats and insights
⚔️ How they compare to Celtic
Compared with Celtic, who lead the table with 15 points, Como's threat is much more one-dimensional: Celtic hold the edge in consistency, overall balance and home control, while Como's principal danger comes from a pronounced away scoring profile and set-piece volume; on paper Celtic remain superior across attack and defence, but Como's away form is the kind of specific weakness Celtic must guard against.
