Como

DLDWWW 📈

Como are hoping to win again following a 0-3 Serie A success over Lecce.

In that game, Como managed 56% possession and 10 attempts on goal with 5 of them on target. For Como, the goals were scored by Assane Diao (33', 91') and Edoardo Goldaniga (84'). On the other side, Lecce got 14 attempts at goal with 7 on target.

Como haven’t been able to stop scoring goals, finding the back of the net every time they’ve gone out to play in their last 6 matches.

They’ve managed to rack up 10 during that period while also conceding a total of 5.

Looking at the pre-match facts, Como:

• haven't been beaten in the league by Genoa in their previous 3 matches.
• have not emerged victorious against Genoa in their last 4 league games.
• are undefeated in their previous 4 home league matches.

Genoa

DWLWDL ⚖

After a loss in their previous game against Lazio in Serie A competition, Genoa will be aiming to make amends here.

In that game, Genoa had 38% possession and 8 attempts on goal with 4 on target. At the other end, Lazio had 15 attempts on goal with 6 on target. Valentín Castellanos (32') and Boulaye Dia (65') scored for Lazio.

A sequence of outstanding performances from the Genoa defenders has resulted in their ‘goals against’ tally standing at 4 from their last 6 fixtures in total. During the same period, the number of goals that they have scored themselves is 5. That sort of trend isn’t assured to be continued into this next game, of course.

Taking a look at their past results, Genoa:

• haven't been beaten by Como in games played away from home for the previous 2 matches in the league.
• are without an away win for the past 8 matches in the league. It's not a good run at all.

↔️ Head to head

An examination of their prior head-to-head meetings going back to 03/02/2002 shows us that Como have won 2 of these games and Genoa 1, with the number of drawn matches being 3.

An aggregate of 16 goals were shared by the two clubs throughout the course of those matches, with 8 of them for I Lariani and 8 coming from Il Grifone. This gives an average number of goals per game equal to 2.67.

The previous league encounter between these clubs was Serie A match day 12 on 07/11/2024 which ended up with the score at Genoa 1-1 Como.

In that match, Genoa had 41% possession and 9 attempts at goal with 4 of them on target. The scorer was Alessandro Vogliacco (92').

The referee was Antonio Rapuano.

📰 Team News: Como

Alberto Dossena (Cruciate ligament tear), Sergi Roberto (Hamstring strain) and Assane Diao (Broken foot) won’t be available for Como gaffer Cesc Fábregas.

We are thinking that I Lariani will possibly kick off with a 4-2-3-1 formation for this game, utilising Jean Butez, Mergim Vojvoda, Edoardo Goldaniga, Marc-Oliver Kempf, Alex Valle, Maxence Caqueret, Lucas Da Cunha, Gabriel Strefezza, Nico Paz, Jonathan Ikone and Anastasios Douvikas.

ℹ️ Team News: Genoa

Genoa boss Patrick Vieira has to currently contend with reduced team options. Ruslan Malinovskyi (bruise), Mario Balotelli (Broken hand), Caleb Ekuban (unknown injury), Fabio Miretti (Shoulder injury), Jean Onana (unknown injury), Hugo Cuenca (unknown injury), Alan Matturro (Muscle fatigue) and Maxwel Cornet (Muscle strain) miss out here.

It’s our belief that Il Grifone seem likely to play in a 4-2-3-1 system, going with Nicola Leali, Stefano Sabelli, Koni De Winter, Johan Vasquez, Aaron Martin Caricol, Morten Frendrup, Patrizio Masini, Junior Messias, Vitor Oliveira, Morten Thorsby and Andrea Pinamonti.

🧠 Prediction

We’re of the opinion that Genoa might have a difficult job to break down this Como side who we reckon will gain the upper hand.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a hard-fought contest, finishing with a 1-0 victory for Como when all is said and done.

There should be little in it.
