Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Serie A match.
Como’s first season back in the top flight in two decades is gradually drawing to a close, and the club’s hierarchy seems thoroughly pleased with the results achieved so far. The team will aim to extend their home winning run against Genoa, who still harbour a faint hope of breaking into the top 10.
Como
April has been statistically flawless for Como — the newly promoted outfit have claimed maximum points from their last three league outings. In the 3:0 victory over Lecce, they conceded just 0.67 xGA, illustrating their ability to control proceedings while maintaining defensive solidity. Como have seen three consecutive home matches end with Total Under 2.5 — a pattern that looks set to continue on Sunday.
Genoa
Although results have improved since the arrival of Patrick Vieira, Genoa remain one of the least entertaining sides in Serie A. By the end of April, they had recorded just 11 Total Over 2.5 outcomes in 33 league fixtures. Their attacking output ranks among the lowest in the top 15, with just 29 goals scored — including only 11 away from home, a figure that is the joint-lowest in the division alongside Lecce.
Como vs Genoa Prediction
The reverse fixture in November finished 1:1, with just two shots on target across the 90 minutes. Genoa equalised deep into stoppage time. Another low-key encounter between these mid-standings sides appears highly likely.
