Como

WLDLDW ⚖

Como, buoyed by their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after a 1-3 Serie A victory over Monza.

In that game, Como had 58% possession and 17 shots at goal with 7 on target. For Como, the goals were scored by Jonathan Ikoné (16'), Assane Diao (39') and Mërgim Vojvoda (51'). Monza got 8 attempts on goal with 4 on target. Dany Mota (5') scored for Monza.

It’s been seldom in recent games where Como have shown defensive steel. It will be a concern for them that Como have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 6 of their previous 6 matches, giving up 8 goals on the way.

Leading up to this clash, Como:

• have not beaten Torino in their previous 3 league games.
• have not been beaten in their last 3 league matches at home.

🗞️ Team News: Como

There aren’t many personnel worries, with just the sole fitness concern for the Como manager Cesc Fábregas to be concerned about due to a largely intact set of players. Alberto Dossena (Cruciate ligament tear) is out of contention.

We think that I Lariani may well opt for a 4-2-3-1 formation for this one, handing starts to Jean Butez, Mergim Vojvoda, Edoardo Goldaniga, Marc-Oliver Kempf, Alex Valle, Lucas Da Cunha, Maxence Caqueret, Jonathan Ikone, Nico Paz, Assane Diao and Anastasios Douvikas.

📰 Team News: Torino

Torino boss Paolo Vanoli has some current player fitness concerns. Zanos Savva (Partial patellar tendon tear), Valentino Lazaro (Calf injury), Emirhan İlkhan (Cruciate ligament tear), Amine Salama (Hamstring injury), Duván Zapata (Cruciate ligament tear), Alieu Njie (Broken ankle) and Perr Schuurs (Knee surgery) are not able to play.

We reckon that Il Toro seem most likely to make use of a 4-2-3-1 formation using V. Milinkovic-Savic, S. Walukiewicz, Guillermo Maripan, Saul Coco, Cristiano Biraghi, Ivan Ilic, Cesare Casadei, Yann Karamoh, Nikola Vlasic, Eljif Elmas and Che Adams.

🧠 Prediction

When taking all factors into account, Torino have the capability to score a goal against this Como side, but it might not quite prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.

Our selection here is for a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 advantage for Como when all is said and done. It really should be an interesting one.
