2026-2027 Serie A: Napoli vs. Como, Probable Lineups

Napoli and Como face off at 6:30 p.m. in a match for the second matchday of the Serie A season. Massimiliano Allegri’s team won their season opener at Marassi against Genoa, while Fabregas’s men drew in Udine and are set to play their second consecutive away game.

Up front, Allegri is sticking with Hojlund, flanked by Politano and Alisson Santos. There’s more uncertainty in midfield: Lobotka and McTominay are locks, but Kevin De Bruyne has taken Anguissa’s spot. Di Lorenzo and Spinazzola occupy the wings, with Marin and Rrahmani as the center backs.

Fabregas continues to rely on Douvikas while waiting for Moise Kean to return to lead the attack; behind him are Baturina, Nico Paz, and Jesús Rodríguez. Milla and Perrone are in midfield, with Yan Couto and Valle on the wings.

Napoli vs. Como: Probable Lineups
NAPOLI (4-3-3): Meret; Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Rafa Marin, Spinazzola; Anguissa, Lobotka, McTominay; Politano, Hojlund, Alisson Santos. Head Coach: Allegri
COMO (4-2-3-1): Butez; Yan Couto, Ramon, Chalobah, Valle; Milla, Perrone; Baturina, Nico Paz, Jesus Rodriguez; Douvikas. Head Coach: Fabregas

Allegri has identified the key to the match against Como: “We have to neutralize their strengths. The debut at the Maradona will be exciting, and we’re facing the new reality of Italian soccer. Last year’s spat with Fabregas? It was due to the tension; Cesc shows promise and has delivered excellent results. The transfer market? We know it’s unusual—maybe something will happen… But we certainly don’t need to sign anyone at all costs.”
