Udinese host Como in Serie A season opener at the Bluenergy Stadium
Udinese open their Serie A season against Como at the Bluenergy Stadium - Stadio Friuli in Udine, with the two sides meeting for the first time since last season's fixtures.
The clubs have faced each other four times in Serie A across the past two seasons, with Como taking the upper hand in three of those meetings, including a 4-1 win in January 2025 and a 1-0 victory in January 2026. Their most recent encounter, in April 2026, ended goalless.
Form heading into the opener
Como arrive with the stronger recent record of the two, having gone unbeaten across their last five matches, winning three and drawing two. Udinese, by contrast, have had a mixed run, winning two of their last five but also suffering two defeats.
Como's slightly higher win tally in recent matches, combined with their historical edge over Udinese in this fixture, gives them something to build on heading into the new campaign, though pre-season form only tells part of the story once Serie A points are on the line.
Kick-off is scheduled for 22 August, with both sides looking to open their new Serie A campaign on the front foot.
