The Partenopei's victory was not without its challenges, however, as it took De Bruyne coming off the bench to break the deadlock. Despite this, Napoli were able to secure a 2-0 win, with De Bruyne's introduction marking a turning point in the match. The victory marks a strong start to the season for Napoli, who are looking to build on their success in the Coppa Italia.

Como, on the other hand, are beginning to feel the pressure of big club status, particularly with their first ever Champions League campaign coming up. The team started their season with a disappointing 1-1 draw at home to Udinese, and are looking to bounce back from this setback. With their first match of the season behind them, Como will be looking to build momentum and make a strong start to the season.

The match between Napoli and Como will be a closely watched encounter, particularly given the tension between the two teams' coaches, Max Allegri and Cesc Fabregas. The two teams have a history of rivalry, with Como knocking Napoli out of the Coppa Italia quarter-final on penalties in May. With the stakes high, both teams will be looking to come out on top in this highly anticipated match.

Napoli will be looking to build on their victory over Genoa, and will be hoping to secure a win against Como. With their strong starting XI and De Bruyne's introduction, Napoli have the potential to make a strong statement in this match. The match will take place at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, with kick-off scheduled for 17.30 UK time (18.30 CEST).
