Team News: Como
There aren’t many personnel worries, with just a single fitness concern for the Como gaffer Osian Roberts to contend with from of an almost fully healthy group. Patrick Cutrone (unknown injury) is out of contention.
It looks as if I Lariani should go for a 4-2-3-1 system this time, beginning the first half with Adrian Semper, Alessio Iovine, Edoardo Goldaniga, Cas Odenthal, Nicholas Ioannou, Alessandro Bellemo, Matthias Braunöder, Nicholas Gioacchini, Simone Verdi, Lucas Da Cunha and A. Gabrielloni.

Team News: Südtirol-Alto Adige
Südtirol-Alto Adige boss Federico Valente has some current player fitness concerns. Kévin Vinetot (Hamstring muscle injury) and Emanuele Pecorino (Inner ligament injury) miss out here.
We’re of the thinking that Biancorossi might make use of a 3-5-2 system using Giacomo Poluzzi, Andrea Giorgini, Filippo Scaglia, Andrea Masiello, Riccardo Ciervo, Salvatore Molina, Tommaso Arrigoni, Jasmin Kurtic, Simone Davi, Raphael Odogwu and Daniele Casiraghi.

Prediction
Our thinking is that Como are likely to convert a lot of goal-scoring opportunities.
However, Südtirol-Alto Adige won’t find it easy to find the back of the net but we do think it’s quite likely that they will be managing to get on the scoresheet, too.
We can therefore see a 3-1 margin for Como at the end of this one.
