Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Serie A match.
Matchday 5 of Serie A kicks off on Lake Como, where Como host newly promoted Cremonese, surprise occupants of sixth place.
Como
Como are gradually finding their rhythm. In their most recent match, the team beat Fiorentina away (2:1). That outing again highlighted the emergence of a genuine prospect in Italy: Nico Paz. He supplied two assists against Fiorentina and already has 5 goal contributions (2+3) this season.
Cremonese
Cremonese remain unbeaten, but the wins have dried up: the last two matches ended 0:0. Moreover, despite several reinforcements, the team produced only 0.37 xG across those two matches. At the same time, the defence is under strain, having conceded 35 shots. Cremonese avoided defeat largely thanks to modest opposition.
Como vs Cremonese Prediction
Como have higher-calibre attackers than Hellas Verona and Parma. At home, Nico Paz and the squad are unlikely to let such slackness go unpunished and should capitalise.
