Como

DLLLDL ⚠

Como won’t want a repeat of their last result here following a 0-2 Serie A losing effort in their last game against Fiorentina.

In that match, Como managed 57% possession and 10 attempts at goal with 4 of them on target. At the other end, Fiorentina got 8 shots at goal with 4 of them on target. Yacine Adli (19') and Moise Kean (68') scored for Fiorentina.

It has been all too rare in recent games that Como have shown defensive steel. It will be a concern for them that Como have seen their defence breached in 6 of their previous 6 games, giving up 11 goals on the way.

Going into this encounter, Como haven’t won at home in the past 3 league games.

Monza

In the game prior to this, Monza drew 1-1 in the Serie A tie with Torino.

In that game, Monza had 45% possession and 9 attempts on goal with 6 on target. The only player to score for Monza was Milan Đurić (63'). At the other end, Torino had 12 attempts on goal with 5 of them on target. Adam Masina (59') scored for Torino.

The numbers tell their own story, and Monza have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, with opponents netting 7 goals in total. At the back, Monza have been far from perfect. We will see whether or not that trend will end up being sustained here.

Going into this contest, Monza are without a win away from home in their last 2 matches in the league.

📋 Team News: Como

Marc Oliver Kempf (muscular problems), Alessandro Gabrielloni (unknown injury), Luca Mazzitelli (Calf problems) and Máximo Perrone (unknown injury) are unavailable for Como manager Cesc Fábregas.

We think that I Lariani should employ a 4-2-3-1 formation, utilising Pepe Reina, Edoardo Goldaniga, Federico Barba, Marco Sala, Alberto Moreno, Yannik Engelhardt, Matthias Braunoeder, Simone Verdi, Nico Paz, Alieu Fadera and Patrick Cutrone.

🗞️ Team News: Monza

Monza boss Alessandro Nesta has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Roberto Gagliardini (surgery), Alessio Cragno (Shoulder injury) and Matteo Pessina (Tendon tear) are not ready for selection.

We believe Brianzoli seem most likely to begin the game with a 3-4-2-1 system using Stefano Turati, Luca Caldirola, Pablo Mari, Andrea Carboni, Samuele Birindelli, G. Kyriakopoulos, Warren Bondo, Alessandro Bianco, Daniel Maldini, Dany Mota and Milan Djuric.

⚡ Prediction

Looking at these two teams, we feel that Monza might need a bit of good fortune to score against this Como side who we think will likely get the win and a maybe even keep a clean sheet as well.

Therefore, we predict a narrow 1-0 winning score for Como at full-time.
