Napoli W vs Como 1907 W - Serie A Women

Tactical intrigue takes centre stage on October 3, 2026 as Napoli W and Como 1907 W prepare to square off at the home ground, with both managers known for their strategic nuance in the Serie A Women. How smooth can you be when receiving the ball, how quickly can you move from the back foot, hips open, face forward and find quality with the pass.

Both camps will view the Serie A Women meeting at the home ground as an opportunity to put a marker down, regardless of where they currently stand. The hosts will hope that the the home ground crowd can inspire a performance, whatever the numbers suggest. Como 1907 W's away form is hard to read, but they will arrive with the belief that they can trouble their hosts. Their 3-0 win over Nice takes them up to second spot in the fledgling Ligue 1 table.

The tactical subplot is compelling: Napoli W favour a possession-based game built on patience and control, while Como 1907 W are happiest sitting deep and exploding forward on the counter — a classic contrast of philosophies. Schalke had only 17 per cent of the possession but, having visited the club to interview their charismatic coach Miron Muslic, that is hardly a surprise.

Star players on both sides will be eager to make their mark, and the individual duels across the pitch could go a long way to deciding the outcome. How each side deals with the other's danger men — and who takes their chances when they come — will be central to the outcome. Everton also want to sign a striker as they search for a more consistent source of goals with neither Thierno Barry nor Beto delivering on that front so far.

Predicting an outright winner is no easy task given how little separates the two sides on paper. A share of the spoils looks the most probable outcome, with neither side holding a decisive edge — a 1-1 draw feels like a fitting result. Whatever the outcome, the Serie A Women fixture promises a meaningful contest with real implications for both clubs. It is understood that his next move is most likely to take him abroad - and potentially to the Premier League.
