Genoa vs Como Prediction
Il Grifone returned to winning and goalscoring ways on Monday and will look to continue that form here. They are winless at home in Serie A this season, failing to score in three of the six games, which is a cause for concern.
They have a lengthy absentee list for the match, which is likely to impact the outcome of the match. Key players like Ruslan Malinovskyi, Junior Messias, and Caleb Ekuban continue to be sidelined while Mario Balotelli is in contention to start.
I Lariani have seen a drop in form and have lost four of their last five games. They have failed to score in two of their last three games and will look to improve upon that record. They are unbeaten in their last two away meetings against Genoa, with a win and a draw to their name.
Ignace Van Der Brempt and Máximo Perrone remain sidelined due to injuries and Cesc Fàbregas is also expected to be without the services of Sergio Roberto.
The two teams have struggled in front of the goal recently and are likely to play out a low-scoring draw.
