Como
DLDWWW 📈
Como will be looking for a repeat result of the 0-3 Serie A success against Lecce.
In that match, Como had 56% possession and 10 shots on goal with 5 on target. For Como, the goals were scored by Assane Diao (33', 91') and Edoardo Goldaniga (84'). At the other end, Lecce had 14 shots 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 time and have conceded a total of 5. While that may be of interest, we’ll just have to find out whether such a trend will be maintained in this next match or not.
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
DDWLWD
In their previous fixture, Genoa drew 0-0 in the Serie A tie with Hellas Verona.
In that match, Genoa had 54% possession and 4 attempts on goal with 1 of them on target. For their opponents, Hellas Verona had 14 shots on goal with 2 of them on target.
A sequence of steadfast showings by the Genoa defence has seen the number of goals they’ve conceded amounting to 4 from their last 6 fixtures combined. Over that same time, the number of goals that they have scored themselves amounts to 5.
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.

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.
