Como W vs Napoli W: Serie A Women Clash at Stadio Ferruccio

Stadio Ferruccio in Seregno stages a tense late-season clash in Serie A Women on 9 May 2026, as Como W host Napoli W in Round 21 of the regular season. The stakes are clear: with just two games left, mid‑table positions and prize money are on the line, and both sides are still jostling for status and momentum ahead of the league’s final stretch.

In the league, Napoli W arrive in a stronger position. They sit 5th on 30 points from 20 matches, with a positive goal difference of +5 (29 scored, 24 conceded). Como W are 8th with 26 points and a goal difference of -1 (21 scored, 22 conceded). Four points separate the sides, so a home win would pull Como right back into the same mini‑bracket, while an away victory would effectively lock Napoli into the upper half and leave Como looking over their shoulder.

Form and trajectory

Across all phases, Como’s season has been streaky. Their overall form string reads “LWLWWWLWLDLDLWWDDLDL”, but more recently in the league they are winless in five (form: LDLDD). They have drawn three of their last five and lost twice, which explains why they have slipped to 8th. At home they have been inconsistent: 3 wins, 2 draws and 5 defeats from 10, with 10 goals scored and 13 conceded. They average exactly 1.0 goal for and 1.3 against per home match, and have failed to score in three home games.

Napoli’s broader season arc has been more positive. Their form line “WWLDLWWLLDWWWDDLDWDL” shows bursts of three‑game winning streaks and an ability to respond to setbacks. In the league their recent sequence “LDWDL” is mixed, but they are harder to beat than Como, with 8 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses overall. Away from home they have been quietly efficient: 4 wins, 4 draws and just 2 defeats in 10 away matches, scoring 17 and conceding 13. An away average of 1.7 goals scored per game underlines why they are one of the more dangerous travelling sides in the division.

Tactical outlook: structures and styles

Como W have shown tactical flexibility but a clear preference for a back four. Their most used setup is a 4‑3‑3 (8 matches), occasionally morphing into 4‑3‑1‑2 (2 matches), 4‑1‑4‑1 or 4‑4‑2. That variety hints at a coach willing to tweak the front line and midfield balance, but the constants are a compact back four and a midfield that must work hard without the ball. With only 21 goals scored in 20 games (1.1 per match across all phases), Como rely on efficiency and moments of quality rather than sustained attacking waves.

Napoli W, by contrast, are structurally more settled. They have lined up in 4‑4‑2 in 13 matches, with 4‑1‑4‑1 as a secondary option. The 4‑4‑2 underpins their away success: two forwards to threaten in behind, natural width from the wide midfielders, and enough central presence to contest second balls. Their 29 goals in 20 league games (1.5 per match) and particularly strong away scoring rate suggest a side comfortable playing on the front foot but also effective in transitions.

Defensively, Como’s numbers are marginally better at home than Napoli’s away, but neither side is watertight. Como concede 1.1 goals per game overall, Napoli 1.2. Como have kept 8 clean sheets (3 at home), Napoli 6 (2 away). Both teams have a tendency to allow chances, and both have spells in games where they pick up cards – Napoli in particular accumulate yellows across all phases of the match, which could matter in a tight contest.

Set pieces and penalties are another layer. Como have had 2 penalties this season and converted both (100%), while Napoli have scored their sole penalty award. At team level both are perfect from the spot, but individually Como’s attacker Nadine Nischler has a split record (1 scored, 1 missed), so any late penalty for the hosts will carry psychological weight.

Key players and attacking threats

For Napoli, the headline act is Cecilie Fløe. The Danish attacker has 6 goals and 2 assists in 20 appearances, with a solid rating of 7.12. She is volume‑heavy in attack (36 shots, 22 on target) and contributes 25 key passes, making her both finisher and creator. Her ability to find pockets between the lines and shoot early will test a Como defence that concedes an average of 1.3 goals per home game.

Alongside her, Marija Banušić has been extremely efficient: 4 goals and 2 assists in just 13 starts, with a 7.18 rating. She has 18 shots, 11 on target, and has also converted a penalty this season. Banušić’s movement across the front line and her capacity to drop off and link play are central to Napoli’s 4‑4‑2 functioning. If Napoli set up with two forwards, the combination of Fløe’s direct running and Banušić’s craft could stretch Como’s back four.

Further back, midfielder K. Kozak adds another dimension with 3 goals and 1 assist. With 296 passes at 71% accuracy and 8 key passes, she offers late runs and shooting threat from midfield. Against a Como side that can be forced deep, Kozak’s ability to arrive on the edge of the box could be decisive.

Como’s attacking hopes are led by Nadine Nischler and rising talent Zara Kramžar. Nischler has 4 goals and 1 assist in 19 starts, with 23 shots (10 on target) and 12 key passes. She works hard without the ball (18 tackles, 7 interceptions) and is central to Como’s pressing from the front. Her penalty record this season is mixed, so her composure in big moments will be under scrutiny.

Kramžar, just 19, has been one of the bright spots of Como’s campaign. In only 10 starts she has scored 3 goals and added 1 assist, with an impressive 7.5 average rating – the highest among the key players listed. She has 14 shots, 9 on target, and 8 key passes, showing an all‑round attacking profile. Her ability to drift into half‑spaces and shoot from promising positions gives Como a genuine match‑winner if they can supply her often enough.

Head‑to‑head: a balanced, evolving rivalry

The last five competitive meetings between these sides (all in Serie A Women) paint a picture of a finely balanced rivalry:

• January 2026: Napoli W 0-0 Como W (regular season)
• May 2025: Como W 3-1 Napoli W (relegation round)
• March 2025: Napoli W 0-2 Como W (relegation round)
• February 2025: Napoli W 4-2 Como W (regular season)
• November 2024: Como W 3-0 Napoli W (regular season)

Across these five, Como have 3 wins, Napoli have 1, and there has been 1 draw. Como’s home record in that run is particularly strong: two wins (3-1 and 3-0) from two at Stadio Ferruccio, scoring 6 and conceding just 1. Napoli’s only victory came in Cercola in a 4-2 thriller in February 2025. The most recent meeting in January 2026 ended goalless, suggesting that the tactical battle has tightened as both teams have adjusted to each other’s threats.

The verdict

Data and narrative pull in slightly different directions. Napoli are higher in the table, score more freely (especially away), and are more consistent across all phases. Como, however, have a strong recent home H2H record and enough individual quality in Kramžar and Nischler to trouble Napoli’s defence.

Given Napoli’s away scoring rate (1.7 per game) and Como’s habit of conceding at home, it is hard to see this staying goalless again. Yet Como’s resilience at Stadio Ferruccio against this specific opponent cannot be ignored.

A tight, tactical contest is likely, with Napoli’s extra firepower giving them a slight edge, but Como’s H2H confidence at home suggests a share of the points is a realistic outcome. Expect a competitive, high‑intensity match where a single moment from Fløe, Banušić or Kramžar could tip the balance.
