----------------------------------
Como
Como, coached by Cesc Fàbregas, is preparing for the 2025-26 Serie A season after finishing 14th in 2024-25. They beat AC Monza 3-0 in a friendly on July 19, 2025, showing defensive solidity and attacking promise. Their pre-season form includes 2 wins and 1 draw, averaging 2.5 goals scored and 0.5 goals conceded. Key players include Patrick Cutrone, Nico Paz, and new signing Pepe Reina. Como’s strengths are their counter-attacking 4-2-3-1 and home support at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia, but their inexperience at the Serie A level is a concern. They aim to win the Como Cup and build momentum for their Coppa Italia clash against Sampdoria on August 17, 2025.
AFC Ajax
Ajax, led by John Heitinga, is gearing up for the 2025-26 Eredivisie season after finishing 5th in 2024-25. They crushed Celtic 5-1 in the Como Cup semi-final on July 24, 2025, with Steven Berghuis scoring twice, and Davy Klaassen, Aaron Bouwman, and Rayane Bounida also netting. Their pre-season form shows 3 wins and 1 loss, averaging 3.0 goals scored and 1.0 goal conceded. Key players include Berghuis, Kenneth Taylor, Jorrel Hato, and trialists Rui Araki and Gaku Nawata. Ajax’s strengths are their attacking flair and youthful energy, but injuries to Amourricho van Axel Dongen, Youri Baas, and Branco Van den Boomen limit depth. They target a strong start for their Europa League qualifier against Vojvodina.
Head-to-Head
Como and Ajax have no prior meetings, making this their first encounter. Friendlies between Serie A and Eredivisie sides often average over 2.5 goals, with 60% both teams scoring (BTTS), due to open play and squad rotations.
Predicted Score: Como 2-3 AFC Ajax
This Como Cup final on July 27, 2025, at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia, Como, at 8:30 PM CEST (8:30 AM SGT), pits Como’s home advantage against Ajax’s attacking form. Como’s Cutrone and Paz face Ajax’s Berghuis and Taylor, with Ajax’s high press likely testing Como’s defense. Ajax are favorites (-130 odds) over Como (+290), with a draw at +250. Trends (Como: 60% over 2.5 goals; Ajax: 80%) suggest a high-scoring game. The 22°C evening and friendly context should keep cards low. Ajax is likely to score through Berghuis or Bounida, with Cutrone possibly netting for Como. Ajax’s attacking momentum should secure a narrow win, but Como’s home fight keeps it close.
