Ademola Lookman is poised to start his inaugural Serie A match of the current season as Atalanta prepares to host Como at the New Balance Arena this Saturday evening. The highly anticipated Week 6 fixture is scheduled for a 19:45 BST kick-off.
Atalanta enters this encounter fresh off a spirited 2-1 comeback victory against Club Brugge in the Champions League, a game that saw Ademola Lookman earn his first start of the 2025-26 campaign. His strong performance has secured him another starting role against Como.
Ederson will also feature in Atalanta`s starting XI once more, following his impactful display in the Champions League triumph. He will be joined in midfield by Mario Pasalic and Lszar Samardzic, both of whom contributed with goals in the midweek European fixture.
Meanwhile, Como is set to field summer signings Martin Baturina and Nico Paz in advanced attacking positions, providing support behind central forward Anastasios Douvikas. Maxi Perrone and Lucas Da Cunha will be instrumental in the heart of Como`s midfield.
