Napoli vs Como Prediction 10 February 2026
📢 How will the clash between Napoli and Como unfold in the Coppa Italia quarterfinals? An intriguing matchup is set to take place at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. The reigning Italian champions have been notably inconsistent lately and have not frequently delighted their fans with victories. On the other hand, the "Larians," who were competing in Serie B just two years ago, are in excellent form and rarely slip up. Both teams are highly motivated, with a spot in the next round of the tournament at stake, so don't expect any compromises here.
Head-to-Head
📊 The head-to-head history between Napoli and Como includes just three matches in recent years, with each possible outcome occurring once-one win for each side and one draw. This season, the teams have already faced off in the first round of Serie A: on November 1st, they played a fairly even match that ended in a goalless draw (0-0), despite Napoli being the clear favorites.
Head-to-head statistics Napoli - Como

Napoli Team Overview
🔵 Napoli are clearly not in their best form. In their last nine matches, they have managed just three victories, each with significant caveats. Last weekend, the Neapolitans edged out Genoa away with a 3-2 win, thanks to a penalty scored in the 90+5th minute.
⚪ The club is already out of the Champions League contention, and they trail Serie A leaders Inter by nine points. Napoli's journey to the Coppa Italia quarterfinals was also challenging: on December 3rd, they only advanced past Cagliari at home after a penalty shootout (1-1 in regular time, 9-8 on penalties).

Como 1907 Team Overview
🔵 Unlike Napoli, Como have been looking far more convincing lately. Over their last nine matches across all competitions, they have secured six victories and came close to winning the remaining fixtures. On February 1st, the "Lariano" hosted Atalanta and settled for a 0-0 draw, despite having a massive advantage on the pitch: 28 shots, 9 on target, 12 clear chances created, and an impressive 4.56 xG. Despite this dominance, they couldn't clinch the three points.
⚪ In the previous round of the Coppa Italia, Como also made a strong impression. On January 27th, they traveled to face Fiorentina and, after conceding first, they turned the game around with ease, securing a confident 3-1 victory.

Latest news
Napoli
📣 Following their 3-2 victory over Genoa, Napoli's head coach Antonio Conte highlighted the team's resilience and ability to overcome challenges: "I believe this win goes beyond what we showed on the pitch. Essentially, we gifted Genoa two goals, and coming back from that was far from easy. But we never stopped pushing and searching for the win... This proves that the team never gives up. Every Sunday presents a new obstacle for us. These guys overcome everything purely through heart."
🚫 Napoli continue to deal with significant squad issues. André Zambo Anguissa is sidelined with a muscle injury, with no clear timetable for his return. Billy Gilmour will be out until mid-February due to a groin injury. Scott McTominay and Kevin De Bruyne are expected back by the end of the month, both recovering from thigh injuries. The longest waits are for Giovanni Di Lorenzo (early April, knee injury) and David Neres (late March, hamstring issue).
Como 1907
📣 After a goalless draw with Atalanta, Como's head coach Cesc Fabregas defended Nico Paz: "I don't want to 'crucify' a young player over a penalty. I made mistakes, Lionel Messi made mistakes, John Terry made mistakes - we're all with Nico." Reflecting on the match: "Today we took 29 shots and created four or five clear chances. We need to keep our heads up and prepare for the next game."
🚫 Como face minimal squad issues. Assane Diao is recovering from a muscle injury and is expected to return by mid-February. Eduardo Goldaniga's participation is also in doubt as he deals with a heel problem.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Como have recently shown no significant issues in creating and converting chances, having scored in 8 of their last 9 matches. The only exception was a recent goalless draw against Atalanta, where the "Larians" managed an xG that suggested nearly five goals but couldn't find the back of the net. Considering this and Napoli's not-so-convincing current form, betting on Como to score seems a reasonable choice.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Napoli rank among the Serie A leaders in corners earned, averaging 5.3 per match, which places them fourth in the league. Notably, Napoli have delivered more than 3.5 corners in 17 of their last 18 matches across all competitions when playing at home. Given these stats, this option is our pick for the bet.
Editor's Prediction
According to the bookmakers, Napoli are slight favorites in the upcoming clash, but we strongly disagree with that assessment. The Partenopei are far from their best form, struggling to secure wins even against lower-table teams-narrowly beating Fiorentina 2-1 at home and scraping past Genoa 3-2 away, with a decisive penalty scored in the 90+5th minute. On the other hand, Como are in excellent form and currently rank among the most exciting teams in Italy in terms of football quality. The Larians are clearly determined to compete for the trophy and will look to capitalize on Napoli's injury woes and inconsistent performances. A scoreline of 1-2 is quite possible, but a more reliable option would be to bet on Como not losing in regular time.
