Genoa

WWLLWW

Genoa fans will want a repeat of their previous result, being the 1-2 Serie A victory versus Pisa.

In that match, Genoa managed 56% possession and 13 attempts at goal with 5 on target. For Genoa, the goals were scored by Jeff Ekhator (41') and Lorenzo Colombo (55'). Pisa had 12 shots at goal with 4 of them on target. Simone Canestrelli (19') scored for Pisa.

It has been all too rare in recent games that Genoa have kept a clean sheet. The facts show that Genoa have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 games, shipping 7 goals along the way. While that may be of interest, we’ll just have to find out whether that trend will continue on in this match.

Coming into this contest, Genoa haven't beaten Como in their previous 5 league games.

Como

WWDLLL 📉

Following on from being defeated in their last game at the hands of Inter Milan in Coppa Italia competition, Como and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

In that game, Como managed 38% possession and 15 attempts at goal with 7 on target. For Como, goals were scored by Martin Baturina (32') and Lucas da Cunha (48'). Inter Milan got 22 attempts on goal with 8 of them on target. Hakan Çalhanoğlu (69', 86') and Petar Sučić (89') scored for Inter Milan.

Proving their bias toward eventful matches, the back of the net has been hit 23 times in the previous 6 matches in which Como have taken to the pitch, yielding an average of 3.83 goals each meeting. Their opponents have hit 10 from this total.

Their prior results show that Como:

• are winless against Genoa when they've played them away from home in the last 2 matches in the league.
• have not lost to Genoa when they have played them away from home in the previous 3 league games.
• haven’t won away from home in the past 2 matches in the league.

👥 Head to head

Looking at the statistics for their head to head meetings going back to 29/05/2004, neither club has come out on top overall with Genoa winning 1 of those games, Como 1 and 4 being draws in regulation time.

A sum of 15 goals were scored between them during those clashes, with 8 from Il Grifone and 7 for I Lariani. This gives an average number of goals per game equal to 2.5.

The previous league encounter featuring these sides was Serie A match day 3 on 15/09/2025 when the final score was Como 1-1 Genoa.

On that occasion, Como had 53% possession and 13 shots on goal with 4 of them on target. Their only player on the scoresheet was Nico Paz (13').

Genoa got 12 attempts on goal with 6 of them on target. Caleb Ekuban (92') was the scorer.

📰 Team News: Genoa

We are thinking that Il Grifone could opt for a 4-4-2 formation this time, beginning the first half with Justin Bijlow, A. Marcandalli, Leo Oestigard, Johan Vasquez, M. Egill Ellertsson, Ruslan Malinovsky, Morten Frendrup, Stefano Sabelli, Tommaso Baldanzi, Vitinha and Lorenzo Colombo.

ℹ️ Team News: Como

It’s our belief that I Lariani appear most likely to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 system using Jean Butez, Ivan Smolcic, Jacobo Ramon, Marc-Oliver Kempf, Alex Valle, Lucas Da Cunha, Maximo Perrone, Assane Diao, Nico Paz, Martin Baturina and Anastasios Douvikas.

💭 Prediction

We’re thinking that Genoa may find it difficult to get anything against this Como team who we reckon should emerge victorious.

That’s why we have predicted a very even match with a 0-1 winning margin for Como at full-time.

Let’s see how it plays out.
