Liverpool vs Como Prediction 16 August 2026
🔊 The Merseysiders traditionally close pre-season with a match in front of their home crowd, and this is the final tune-up: exactly one week remains before the Premier League kicks off. Como arrive at Anfield at a similar stage (Serie A starts on 23 August) and see the trip as a test of their strength.

📊 Liverpool and Como have never met before - their head-to-head history begins with this match.
Head-to-head statistics Liverpool - Como

Liverpool Team Overview
The team started the summer brightly, beating Sunderland (4:2) and Wrexham (1:0). But then came some worrying signs - defeats to Leeds (2:4) and Monaco (2:3). The matches shared one common trait: they were open and generous with goals.
Liverpool kept a clean sheet just once throughout pre-season, and the defence is the main question mark heading into the start of the league campaign. Promising centre-back Jérémy Jacquet was brought in from Rennes for €63.6 million, but he is currently out with a shoulder injury.

Como 1907 Team Overview
The Italians have not lost a single match in regular time this summer - a rare record for a sample of this size. They have wins over Al-Ula (3:1) and Famalicão (3:2), as well as draws with Villarreal (1:1), Paris (2:2) and Arsenal (1:1), with the team losing on penalties twice.
Cesc Fàbregas's side are happy to push forward and almost always get what they want: they have not gone a single game without scoring this summer. Notably, the modest Italian club have already spent €57.5 million. Their most expensive signing is Trevoh Chalobah (€30 million).

Both Teams to Score Prediction
Trends- Liverpool have scored and conceded in 6 matches in a row (Friendly matches, clubs).
- Como have scored and conceded in 5 matches in a row (Friendly matches, clubs).
⭐ Editor's Pick
There's no reason to expect a closed game in this August test. Liverpool's summer matches have averaged 4.5 goals, while Como have seen at least four goals on three occasions. Add the Anfield factor, where the hosts are expected to play attacking football for their supporters, and the evening cool that will allow both sides to keep up the tempo until the final whistle. We're going with total over 3.5 goals. Predicted score - 3:1.
