Como 1907 vs Parma Calcio 1913

Como host Parma in a fixture that shows just how far both sides' seasons have already diverged. Como sit 3rd through three rounds, building on last season's historic fourth-place finish and their first-ever European campaign. Parma, by contrast, are still searching for their first point, having lost both matches without scoring. Como opened with a 1-1 draw at Udinese before winning back-to-back — 2-1 over Napoli and 2-0 away at Genoa — with Nico Paz pulling the strings again after his 12-goal breakout last season. Parma have lost to Cagliari and Juventus without troubling the scoresheet, and will lean on Mateo Pellegrino up front and Adrián Bernabé's creativity to change that. The sides are evenly matched across nine meetings (three wins apiece, four draws), though Como are unbeaten in the last five, including a 1-1 draw when they last met in May. Our prediction: 2-0
