Napoli Faces Como in Critical Serie A Showdown
NAPLES, Italy – Napoli will host Como 1907 in a crucial Serie A match on Saturday, November 1, 2025, at 1:00 PM ET. Both teams will aim for a win to solidify their positions in the league.
Antonio Conte, head coach of Napoli, seeks to maintain the team’s strong home advantage in the Estadio Diego Armando Maradona, where their recent performance shows promise. Conte aims for his squad to secure another victory following a recent 1-0 win against Lecce.
Como 1907, managed by Cesc Fàbregas, is currently fourth in the Serie A standings and looks to improve its chances of European competition next season. Como has shown formidable defensive strength, allowing only six goals in their first nine matches, and are unbeaten since September, with four wins and four draws.
The clash will mark a significant moment for the young Argentine midfielder Nico Paz, who has been standout for Como this season, valued over €55 million according to transfermarkt. Paz has scored four goals and provided four assists in the league thus far.
Comparatively, Napoli’s Rasmus Højlund is another player to watch. The Danish forward is valued at over €45 million and hopes to increase his tally of two goals in this match. He joined Napoli this season from Manchester United and has quickly become a vital part of the squad.
Historically, Napoli has had the upper hand against Como in their previous encounters, boasting 20 wins out of 30 matches. However, Como recently won four of the last five games between the teams, indicating a potential upset.
Fans can tune into the action through various broadcasts, including ESPN in Mexico and Disney+ in South America. In Italy, DAZN will feature the match live as Napoli aims to capitalize on their home turf.
The Estadio Diego Armando Maradona, opened in 1959, has a capacity of 55,000 and was renamed in honor of the late Argentine legend who had a significant impact on Napoli’s history.
