Como
Cesc Fabregas's side suffered a 0-2 defeat at home to Fiorentina in the last round. As a result, Como has lost four of their last five Serie A matches and is winless in seven consecutive league games (2 draws, 5 losses). The team has dropped into the relegation zone, now sitting in 18th place with ten points. Additionally, having conceded 25 goals this Serie A season, Como is only ahead of Verona (32) in this regard.
Midfielder Maximo Perrone and forward Alessandro Gabrielloni will miss the game due to injuries. Defender Alberto Dossena is suspended.
- The club has not won in 4 of their last 5 home Serie A matches (2 draws, 2 losses).
- The team has conceded at least two goals in 4 of their last 5 home league matches.
- Both teams have scored in 4 of Como's last 5 home Serie A matches.
Monza
Alessandro Nesta's side drew 1-1 with Torino on the road in the last round. As a result, Monza ended their three-match run of goalless defeats in the league. However, the team still has just one victory this Serie A season, and their nine points place them second to last in the standings. Notably, Monza has scored only 11 goals in the current championship, ahead of only Lecce (6) and Empoli (10).
Defender Danilo D'Ambrosio and midfielders Matteo Pessina and Roberto Gagliardini are sidelined due to injuries. Defender Armando Izzo is suspended.
- The team has not won in 10 of their last 11 away Serie A matches (5 draws, 5 losses).
- At least one opponent failed to score in 5 of the team's last 7 away league matches.
- No more than two goals have been scored in 8 of Monza's last 11 away Serie A matches.
Como vs. Monza: Match Prediction
At home, Cesc Fabregas's team aims to play boldly and openly, favoring attacking football. As a result, Como has scored in 4 of their 5 home matches this Serie A season, failing to score only in their last home game against a defensively solid Fiorentina. However, the team has not kept a clean sheet in any of their five home league matches this season.
In some away matches, Monza has shown attacking prowess. This Serie A season, the team failed to score against strong Napoli and Atalanta, as well as defensively reliable Empoli, but scored a total of six goals in three other away games. However, Alessandro Nesta's side has kept a clean sheet only once in their last five away league matches.
I expect both teams to score in this match, so my prediction: Both teams to score – yes
