Key stats

Como’s Fortress: Como 1907 are unbeaten in their last six Serie A home matches, a run stretching back to their strong finish last season.
Genoa’s Stalemate Specialty: Genoa have drawn four of their last five away league games, showcasing their incredible resilience and defensive organisation on the road.
Low-Scoring History: Both league meetings between these two sides last season were tight, cagey affairs that finished with Under 2.5 goals.

Correct Score Prediction

I predict a 1-1 draw. This feels like the most logical outcome when two such well-drilled teams meet. Como’s excellent record at home will see them play on the front foot and create enough chances to score. However, Genoa are masters of nullifying their opponents’ strengths, especially away from home, and are incredibly difficult to break down. With Genoa’s main striker suspended, their attacking threat is reduced, further pointing towards a scenario where both teams ultimately cancel each other out in a hard-fought tactical battle.

Competitive Edge: The last encounter was a feisty affair, producing a total of seven yellow cards.

Team news Como 1907

Como manager Cesc Fàbregas has a near full-strength squad, but faces a potential issue in goal. First-choice keeper Emil Audero is a doubt after suffering a minor back issue in training and will face a late fitness test. Mauro Vigorito is on standby to deputise if needed. Star striker Andrea Belotti, who has started the season in fine form, is fit and will lead the line.

Team news Genoa

Genoa boss Alberto Gilardino has a major selection headache in attack. Star striker and Italian international Mateo Retegui is suspended for this match after accumulating his third yellow card of the season last weekend. His absence is a significant blow to their goalscoring threat. The versatile Caleb Ekuban is expected to step in and partner Albert Guðmundsson up front.
