The Lombardy Derby Returns as Como and Atalanta Face Off in the 22nd Serie A Matchday (January 25, 15:00 CET)

Como 1907 will host Atalanta at the Sinigaglia Stadium on January 25, 2025, in a key clash of the 22nd Serie A Enilive matchday. The Lariani are looking for confirmation after their recent good form. At the same time, Atalanta, fresh off a 5-0 Champions League victory over Sturm Graz, are eager to return to winning ways in Serie A, where they have gone five games without a win.

“We know the match against Atalanta will be a derby, and all derbies are special. These games give you that extra drive and determination to step onto the pitch. However, we need to reach a level where every match feels special. We’re in Serie A, which is a dream for all of us, and we need to show we’re capable of competing with teams like Atalanta, managing the game and fighting until the final whistle.

“In the first leg, we performed well, playing with a real character on the pitch. Atalanta is a team that does man-to-man pressure and doesn’t allow their opponents to create space, but we responded with one of our best performances of the season.” said Como’s head coach, Cesc Fàbregas, in the pre-match press conference.

Recent Encounters

Como has won eight of the 19 Serie A encounters against Atalanta (8W, 6D, 5L). Their most recent victory came on September 24, 2024, a 3-2 away win that marked their first Serie A success against Atalanta in 21 years with goals from Strefezza, Paz, Fadera. At home, the Lariani have secured six wins in nine previous encounters against the Dea, with just one loss recorded.

Players to Look Out For

Atalanta’s attack is led by Serie A top scorer Mateo Retegui, who has scored 14 goals this season. Ademola Lookman follows closely with 10 goals. In defence, Marten de Roon brings solidity and experience, while Belgian talent Charles De Ketelaere is a key player in the attacking unit.
