Como vs Napoli

Como won for the second time in Serie A against Napoli: the first success in the competition against the partenopei dates back to 23 November 1952 (after that date four draws and 14 defeats).

Assane Diao (September 2005, six goals - five with Como and one with Real Betis) is the youngest player among those with more than five goals scored in the current major five European leagues.

Nico Paz (September 2004) is the youngest midfielder in the current major five European leagues among those with at least 10 appearances in goal (six goals and four assists in this Serie A).

Como have only won one of their 23 Serie A matches against Napoli, a 2-1 win in November 1952, keeping a clean sheet only once in the period (0-0, November 8th, 1987).

Como have lost their last four top-flight games against Napoli, conceding on average 2.5 goals per game, and only against Inter do they have a longer current streak of defeats (eight) in the competition.

After only picking up one point in their first eight league meetings against teams in the top six at the time, with an aggregate score of 5-18, Como won their most recent game 2-0 against Fiorentina.

Napoli have drawn each of their last three Serie A games (against Roma, Udinese and Lazio) and could draw four matches in a row in the competition for the first time since 2013.

Napoli are winless in their three matches (D3): the last team to start more matchdays in a row as league leaders without ever winning was Juventus, in their last five games of 2018/19 (D3 L2).
