Our predictions for Genoa vs Como

Match Prediction: Genoa 2-1 Como

Genoa’s recent form suggests they’re on a bit of a roll, especially after back-to-back wins against Pisa and Sassuolo. Their attacking trio, led by Lorenzo Colombo, will be keen to exploit Como’s defensive vulnerabilities, particularly given Como’s recent high-scoring losses. Expect Genoa to press high and look for early goals to unsettle their opponents.Genoa’s recent form suggests they’re on a bit of a roll, especially after back-to-back wins against Pisa and Sassuolo.

Como, on the other hand, will be eager to bounce back after a narrow defeat to Sassuolo. With Álvaro Morata leading the line, they’ll aim to capitalise on any defensive lapses from Genoa. However, their recent defensive record might be a concern, and they’ll need to tighten up at the back to stand a chance.Como, on the other hand, will be eager to bounce back after a narrow defeat to Sassuolo.
