Como aim to extend fine run against struggling Venezia
Como welcome Venezia to the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia on Sunday for a Serie A fixture that pits two sides heading in very different directions. The hosts have won four of their last five matches, losing only once, while Venezia have managed just a single win in their past five outings.
Contrasting form
Como's recent run has established them as the clearly stronger side of the two on current form, a gap their own supporters will hope translates into three points at home. Venezia, by contrast, arrive having lost four of their last five, a sequence that will concern anyone connected with the club as they try to arrest the slide.
A history of close contests
Despite the current disparity in form, recent meetings between these two clubs have been tightly fought. Their last two Serie A encounters both ended level, 1-1 in Como back in March 2025 and 2-2 in Venezia in December 2024. Further back, Como won 2-1 in a Serie B meeting in March 2024, while Venezia had earlier taken both of their 2023 Serie B meetings, winning 3-0 and 3-2.
With Como's superior form this season set against a head-to-head record that has often been settled by the finest of margins, Sunday's fixture promises to offer a genuine test of whether recent league form can finally break the pattern of close results between the two sides.
