Como will host Napoli on 2 May 2026 at 12:00 local time at the Stadio G. Sinigaglia in a meeting that matters at both ends of the Serie A table. Napoli arrive in second place after beating Cremonese 4-0 the week before, while Como are fifth and still pushing for their first-ever European qualification.
Napoli’s latest win featured goals from Scott McTominay, Kevin De Bruyne and Rasmus Hojlund, a reminder of the depth Antonio Conte has been able to call on even as he manages the situation involving Romelu Lukaku. Lukaku has continued his recovery away from the club before returning to contact training, leaving Conte to balance results with the reality of a stretched squad in the closing stage of the season.
Como, meanwhile, come into the match on the back of a 2-0 Serie A win over Genoa on 26 April, a result that kept their European chase alive. Nico Paz was substituted as a precaution after an accidental collision in the first half against Genoa and was later taken to hospital for evaluation after a head injury, but the club has at least had a positive result to lean on after a mixed run that has brought one win, one draw and three defeats in its last five matches in all competitions.
The backdrop gives the game extra weight. Napoli are still in the title race and the championship remains undecided, so every point can still alter the picture at the top. Como, for their part, are trying to turn a strong league position into a historic first qualification for European competition. Both teams are said to arrive with injured players and no registered suspensions, and no probable starting lineups have been confirmed yet.
That leaves the match finely balanced between urgency and uncertainty. Napoli have the table position and the attacking form, but Como have the home setting, the momentum from Genoa and a season that could still break new ground if they hold their place. By kickoff in Como, the consequences will already be clear: for Conte’s side, anything less than control keeps the title race open; for the hosts, any more points may bring Europe a little closer.
