In recent rounds, Como 1907 have impressed with their performances, backing up their play with results that have helped them climb out of the relegation zone and surpass several rivals. Against Udinese, the Serie A newcomers will show offensive restraint—a quality they lacked to maintain a comfortable lead against AC Milan (1:2).
In the match against AC Milan, Como’s play on the opposition's half sparked after the debut of Maxence Caqueret, who provided an assist 14 minutes after coming on. On the other hand, the team managed only four shots on target on Tuesday, lacking creativity from young playmaker Nico Paz, who hadn’t fully recovered from an injury. Moreover, Como have issues with finishing, having scored only 22 goals from 25.62 xG.
Udinese supporters are eagerly awaiting Gerard Deulofeu's full recovery, which would significantly bolster their attack. As of 2025, Udinese are yet to score, with encounters against Hellas Verona and Atalanta ending with minimal chances (both 0:0). They haven't lost away since early November, suggesting they are capable of visiting the top-flight newcomers and securing points.
In the first leg, Udinese’s sensational and immediate top position was largely the result of a narrow victory against Como (1:0). As the last match of this round unfolds, the teams are once again expected to stay under a total of 2.5.
