The Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia hosts a fascinating Coppa Italia clash between two teams from different tiers, as Serie B promotion chasers Como 1907 welcome Serie A’s Genoa. The home side, backed by ambitious ownership and playing attractive football, will see this as a perfect opportunity to test themselves against top-flight opposition. Genoa, comfortably mid-table in Serie A, will be wary of a potential cup upset away from home. This match promises to be an intriguing tactical battle and a great subject for a home vs away match preview.

Como 1907 vs Genoa Match Preview/Betting Preview

This home vs away betting preview is a classic case of a confident lower-league side facing a top-division team with little to gain and everything to lose. Como, under the guidance of Cesc Fàbregas, will look to control possession and play their fluid, attacking style in front of a passionate home crowd. Genoa, under Alberto Gilardino, are a physically strong and well-organized unit that is difficult to break down. They will likely rely on their experience and look to hit Como on the counter-attack. The key for bettors is assessing Genoa’s team selection and motivation versus Como’s fearless approach.

Key Stats

Como are unbeaten in their last 11 home matches in all competitions (W8, D3).
Genoa have won only one of their last seven away matches across all competitions (D3, L3).
Como are the highest-scoring team in Serie B, highlighting their attacking prowess.

I predict the correct score will be Como 1907 1 – 1 Genoa (Como to win on penalties). Genoa’s poor away form and likely rotation for this cup tie make them vulnerable. Como’s incredible home record and attacking quality will see them cause Genoa significant problems. I expect a very close game that ends level after 90 minutes, with the home side’s confidence carrying them through in a penalty shootout.

Their last meeting was in the 2002/03 season in Serie B.
Historical head-to-head data is largely irrelevant due to the enormous gap and completely different squads.
This adds a layer of unpredictability to the fixture.
