Match Prediction: Como vs. Genoa
Cesc Fabregas's side often finds success in attack, especially at home: in 16 home matches this season, Como failed to break down the opposition's defense only once, against Fiorentina. The team almost always managed to score one or two goals – this was the case in 13 instances when Como played at home this Serie A season.
Despite Genoa's preference for solid defensive play, particularly in away matches, they are not without defensive lapses. In their last six away league games, Genoa kept a clean sheet only once, conceding in all other matches, though never allowing more than two goals.
I believe the visitors will not be able to hold off the home side's attack completely and will concede, but not excessively. My prediction: Exact number of goals for Como: 1-2
