COMO, Italy (Interstat) — A surging Como side will look to continue its remarkable climb up the Serie A table when it hosts a struggling Lecce at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia on Saturday.

The matchup, a league fixture organized by Serie A, pits one of Italy’s hottest teams against one searching for consistent form as the 2025-26 season enters a critical phase.

Como (placeholder record) enters with immense confidence following a statement 2-0 victory at Juventus on Feb. 21. That stunning result capped a run that has seen the newly promoted side become a formidable opponent. In their last 10 matches across all competitions, Como has secured impressive results, including a 3-0 win at Lazio, a 6-0 rout at Torino and a 3-1 victory at Fiorentina. Their only defeats in that span came against AC Milan and Fiorentina.

Lecce (placeholder record), meanwhile, seeks to rebound from a 2-0 home loss to Inter Milan on the same date. Their form has been erratic, mixing wins over Cagliari and Udinese with defeats to top-half sides. A concerning trend for the Giallorossi is their struggle to score against the league’s elite, having been shut out by Inter Milan (twice), AC Milan, AS Roma and Torino in recent weeks.

The head-to-head history heavily favors Como, who delivered a comprehensive 3-0 victory at Lecce just over two months ago, on Dec. 27.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a 2-1 victory for the home side, a forecast aligned with the current trajectories of both clubs. A win would provide crucial momentum for Como before a daunting next assignment against league-leaders Inter Milan at home on Tuesday, March 3.

For Lecce, the match represents a chance to stabilize and find offensive traction against a side they were handily beaten by earlier in the campaign. The visitors’ defense will be tasked with containing a Como attack that has repeatedly proven it can score in abundance on its day.

Kickoff is set for (placeholder time) local time on Saturday, February 28, 2026.
