Como vs Parma: line-ups, kick-off time and team news
Kicks off at 12:30 PM at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia, with Como chasing another win after beating RB Leipzig and Parma trying to halt a poor run.
COMO — Como vs Parma is set for a 12:30 PM kickoff at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia, with Cesc Fàbregas’s side looking to extend a strong run and Parma trying to steady a shaky start to the season. The fixture also comes with official line-up calls that will shape how both sides approach the match.
Como arrive with 7 points and sit 6th, according to the preview from Yahoo Sports. Parma have 1 point and are listed in 15th place, a reminder of the gap in momentum between the two clubs before the first whistle.
Como vs Parma: form points in opposite directions
Como’s recent stretch has drawn attention well beyond Italy. They beat RB Leipzig 4-1 in the Champions League and followed that with Serie A wins over Napoli and Genoa, a sequence that has turned them into one of the early talking points in the league.
Parma, by contrast, have struggled to find rhythm. Carlos Cuesta’s side lost three of their last five league matches, were beaten 2-0 by Juventus in their most recent league outing, and drew 1-1 at Monza before that. They also exited the Coppa Italia against Cremonese.
The contrast matters. Como have won their last two Serie A meetings with Parma, including a 1-0 home win in May 2026, and that recent edge adds weight to the home side’s case before kickoff.
Team news and selection calls
The available line-up information points to a strong Como core, with Jean Butez in goal and names such as Yan Couto, Jacobo Ramón, Trevoh Chalobah, Álex Valle, Luis Milla, Lucas da Cunha, Assane Diao, Nico Paz, Martin Baturina and Tasos Douvikas in the mix from the previous match against RB Leipzig.
Parma’s recent selection picture featured Edoardo Corvi; Enrico Del Prato, Diego Carlos, Mariano Troilo and Sascha Britschgi; Mandela Keita and Christian Ordonez; plus Emanuele Valeri, Giovanni Fabbian, David Romero and El Bilal Touré in their last outing against Monza.
That is the part that matters for supporters following the game in real time. The official calls shape the match from the opening minutes, and they also tell us whether Como can keep imposing themselves early or whether Parma can lean on a tighter setup and try to survive the first wave.
What the match means now
For Como, this is about keeping pressure on the teams above them and proving their strong spell is not a brief surge. For Parma, the stakes are more immediate: stop the slide, tighten the gaps, and leave Como with something to show for a difficult run.
Cesc Fàbregas has faced Carlos Cuesta twice, with one win and one draw, while Cuesta has faced Como twice and has one draw and one defeat. Fàbregas has also faced Parma four times, with two wins and two draws, a record that adds another layer to a matchup already tilted by recent results.
At Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia, Como also hold the edge in the head-to-head: ten wins in 24 matches, compared with six Parma victories. In Serie A, the two clubs have met six times, with Como winning two, drawing three and Parma winning once.
The numbers are still the loudest voice here: Como’s 7 points against Parma’s 1 point, and a 12:30 PM kickoff that puts the pressure on the visitors from the start.
