Como vs RB Leipzig team news and expert analysis
The club from the Milan suburbs were the biggest surprise of last season in Italian football. In their second Serie A campaign after a lengthy absence, they finished fourth, although their impressive run was tempered by a dramatic semi-final exit to Inter in the cup. This time, Fàbregas' men began with a draw against Udinese. However, they subsequently beat both Napoli and Genoa.
The Leipzig side managed to improve after their disastrous 2024/2025 campaign. They climbed to third place in the Bundesliga. After selling Diomande to Real Madrid for a substantial fee, which allowed them to bring in a number of new players, they began the season with emphatic victories — against Eintracht Trier in the cup and Borussia Mönchengladbach in the league. However, they suffered a setback in the latest round against Werder, losing 1-3 without ever looking likely to earn even a draw.
The Italians are currently averaging 2.33 goals scored per match while conceding one. The Germans, meanwhile, are scoring two goals per game and conceding 1.5 on average.
