Como vs. Cremonese: Match Prediction
Cesc Fabregas's side shows confident play at home, preferring an attacking approach. In their last 16 home Serie A matches, Como has only failed to break through the defense of Inter, and in that match, the team played with a man down for more than a half. Moreover, in the current championship, the club has scored four goals against Lazio and Fiorentina. However, Como's defense is not particularly reliable, as they have conceded in 10 of their last 13 home Serie A matches.
Cremonese scored twice against AC Milan in an away match of the current championship and has not faced significant issues with scoring away from home. In their last ten away Serie A matches, the team has only left the field without scoring on three occasions, and in four matches during this period, they scored at least twice. At the same time, Cremonese's defensive actions are not commendable, as the club has only kept a clean sheet once in their last 21 away matches in the top Italian division.
I expect both teams to score in this match, so my prediction: Both teams to score – Yes
