Match between Udinese Calcio and Como 1907 - Preview

This is one of the most compelling openers of Matchday 1 - a meeting between a mid-table Udinese side hungry for a stronger campaign and a Como team that stunned Italian football by qualifying for the Champions League for the first time in the club's modern history.

Como finished the 2025/26 Serie A campaign in 4th place with 71 points (20 wins, 11 draws, 7 losses) under coach Cesc Fàbregas, securing a historic entry into European football's elite club competition. That achievement, however, transforms Como's 2026/27 season into an entirely different challenge: juggling Champions League group-stage football alongside domestic ambitions will test squad depth across the full campaign. Udinese, who ended last season in 10th place with 50 points, face an opening opportunity to make an early statement at home against a side whose attention will be divided across multiple competitions.

Both clubs completed thorough pre-season programmes. Udinese defeated both Nottingham Forest and Barcelona 1-0 in friendlies, before securing their only competitive pre-season result - a 1-0 Coppa Italia win over Padova. Como's summer included a 1-1 draw with Arsenal and a goalless stalemate against Liverpool, suggesting Fàbregas's side have arrived in solid defensive shape ahead of what promises to be an extraordinarily demanding season.

Head-to-Head: Udinese Calcio vs Como 1907

Across 24 all-time meetings, Udinese hold the historical edge with 11 wins to Como's 6, and 7 draws - but the recent Serie A series tells a different story, with Como scoring 5 goals to Udinese's 2 across the past 4 encounters.

The last 4 Serie A encounters between the sides produced the following results:

• 6 April 2026 - Serie A - Udinese Calcio 0:0 Como 1907
• 3 January 2026 - Serie A - Como 1907 1:0 Udinese Calcio
• 20 January 2025 - Serie A - Como 1907 4:1 Udinese Calcio
• 1 September 2024 - Serie A - Udinese Calcio 1:0 Como 1907

Udinese Calcio - Recent Form

Udinese arrive at the season opener having won 3 of their last 5 pre-season fixtures, with 1 draw and 1 defeat - an encouraging run ahead of the new campaign.

Their summer started with a 3-3 draw against FSV Mainz 05 on August 1, followed by a narrow 0-1 defeat to Trabzonspor. Udinese then produced their best pre-season spell: on August 8 they defeated both Nottingham Forest and Barcelona 1-0 - two results that raised eyebrows in Italy. The most important test came in the Coppa Italia on August 15, where a 1-0 victory over Padova showed the bianconeri are competitive when results matter. That win represents their only competitive result before the Serie A opener and gives the squad a positive platform to build on.

Como 1907 - Recent Form

Como head into the Serie A opener unbeaten in all 5 of their most recent matches - 2 wins and 3 draws - reflecting a stable build-up to an extraordinary season ahead.

Their pre-season schedule featured the Como Cup, where they defeated Al Ula 3-1, drew with Villarreal 1-1 and edged Famalicão 3-2. The final two preparatory fixtures were particularly eye-catching: Como held Arsenal to a 1-1 draw on August 12, then kept Liverpool goalless four days later. Those results against two of England's leading clubs signal that Fàbregas's side have arrived ready - not just for Serie A, but for the Champions League campaign awaiting them as well.
