Como return to action in the Italian Serie A when they play host to Cremonese at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia on Saturday. Having lost the last five meetings between the two teams, Cesc Fabregas’ side will be aiming to get one over the visitors and secure three wins on the bounce for the first time since May.
Como turned in a stunning team display in midweek when they eased to a 3-0 victory over Sassuolo at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia to reach the round of 16 of the Coppa Italia.
Fabregas’ men now turn their focus to Serie A, where they have enjoyed a decent start to the season, picking up two wins and one draw from their opening four games.
With seven points from the first 12 available, Como currently sit eighth in the league table, one point and two places behind this weekend’s visitors.

With that result, Davide Nicola’s side remain one of just four sides without defeat in the league this season, claiming two wins and two draws in what has been an impressive return to the Italian top flight.
Cremonese gained promotion from Serie B last season, when they beat Juve Stabia and Spezia in the playoff to seal their return to the top flight after going down in the 2022-23 campaign.
