After doubling our bank with our accurate betting pick yesterday, we are looking to continue our great run with the very best Como v Bologna prediction. The match will be played on Jaunary 10, 2026 at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia in Como. The home venue is compact, atmospheric, and historically difficult for visiting sides. It’s the opening fixture of the 20th round in the Seria A. Como are one of the hottest teams in the Seria A and are on a run of three straight wins without even conceding. Meanwhile, Bologna are on a poor run of form winless in six league matches. Bologna lost their last game as we predicted – a 0:2 defeat at home against Atalanta without even scoring.
Como sit 6th with 33 points, riding a wave of momentum after three straight wins without conceding. Their 3–0 victory over Pisa showcased their growing attacking fluidity, with Tasos Douvikas scoring twice and the midfield controlling the tempo. The last meeting between Como and Bologna ended 1–0 to Bologna, but that was at home and during a more stable period. Current form suggests a very different dynamic. Bologna are currently 8th in the Calcio standings, 7 points behind today’s hosts.
🧠 Tactical Breakdown
Como (Cesc Fàbregas)
Fàbregas has built a side that is compact, disciplined, and increasingly dangerous in transition. Como’s defensive numbers are elite: only 12 goals conceded and nine clean sheets, a remarkable 50% shutout rate. Their xGA of 18.5 indicates that their defensive solidity is not luck but structure.
In attack, the trio of Kühn – Paz – Rodríguez behind Douvikas provides creativity and verticality. Como’s ability to break lines quickly and exploit space between Bologna’s midfield and defense could be decisive. Nico Paz has shaped up as one of the most exciting young prospects not only in Seria A, but worldwide. Real Madrid hold his rights, and he is expected to play at the Bernabeu next season. It will be a shock if Los Blancos do not bring him back, considering their struggles. Paz has attacked interest from all the major clubs in Europe. Inter have been trying to bring him in for the past couple of years, but it looks like Real Madrid has recognized the young Argentine’s talent.
In terms of the players’ betting market, it’s always a good bet to put your money on Paz scoring or assisting.
Bologna (Vincenzo Italiano)
Italiano’s philosophy relies on high pressing and fluid buildup, but the execution has collapsed recently. Bologna’s midfield—Ferguson, Freuler, Fabbian—has struggled to progress the ball, and their forwards are starved of service. Defensively, they are vulnerable to quick transitions, which plays directly into Como’s strengths.
Away from home, Bologna’s defensive line often sits too high without adequate pressure on the ball, creating exploitable gaps.

🎯 Betting Analysis
1. Full‑Time Result: Como to Win
Como are priced as slight favorites for a reason. Their home form, defensive stability, and attacking confidence make them the more reliable side. Bologna’s winless streak and away struggles amplify this edge.
Recommended Bet: Como Win Rationale: Superior form, home advantage, tactical matchup.
2. Goals Market: 2 or 3 Goals
Eight of the last ten meetings between these sides have finished under 2.5 goals. Como’s defensive strength and Bologna’s attacking struggles support another low‑scoring match. Yet, Bologna will be looking to get something from this game after their recent struggles. Como have not conceded for over five hours, and I can see Bologna breaking that run and scoring at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia today. With that said, a bet on Both Teams to Score @ 1.95 is also a very solid Seria A betting pick for today.
