Como - Napoli: Cesc Fabregas plans May 2 test with Napoli
Como - Napoli lands on May 2, 2026 at the Stadio G. Sinigaglia, with a 12:00 PM kickoff that gives both clubs a clear target in Serie A. Napoli arrive second, while Como sit fifth and keep pressing for a first European qualification.
Napoli arrive after 4-0
Napoli come in with momentum from a 4-0 win over Cremonese last week. Scott McTominay, Kevin De Bruyne and Rasmus Hojlund all scored in that match, a spread of goals that shows how many ways Antonio Conte’s side can threaten at the top end of the table.
That result keeps Napoli in second place and still in the title mix. For a club chasing the top spot, this trip to Como is not a routine stop; it is another league test against a side that has already spent the season inside the top five.
Como and Fabregas at Sinigaglia
Como’s own position makes this fixture harder to dismiss. They are fifth and still pushing for a historic first European qualification, with Cesc Fabregas guiding a team that has stayed in the conversation deep into the spring.
Fabregas is also free to pursue the Chelsea vacancy, after Como’s president said he can move for it. That adds another layer around the manager even as the focus on the pitch stays fixed on a match with real weight for the table.
Paz injury and lineup gaps
Como will have to manage the game without Nicolas Paz, Sergi Roberto, Marin Vojvoda and Jerome Addai, all out through injury. Paz was taken to hospital for evaluation after a clash of heads in the first half against Genoa, then substituted as a precaution in that win.
Napoli are missing David Neres, Giovanni Di Lorenzo and A. Vergara through injury, and no suspensions are listed for either side. No probable starting lineup has been set for Como, and no projected XI has been set for Napoli, so the shape of the match will depend on how each coach handles those absences at kickoff.
Viewers can watch the match in English on Paramount+ or follow it in Spanish on DAZN. The broadcast options and the midday start give supporters a simple route to a game that sits right in the middle of two races: Napoli’s title chase and Como’s bid to break into Europe for the first time.
