Genoa CFC are aiming to claim their second straight win in the Europa League, as they face Como 1907, who are also not doing recently. These two teams crossed paths for 29 times across all contests, with Genoa having 10 wins, and Como with seven. Genoa are currently at the 17th of the league table with just nine points, and are needing more wins. During their previous match, Genoa are from a much-needed win, and are aiming for the same result here. On the other hand, Como are no better as they are at the 15th off the league table with nine points as well. However, Como are winless on their last five matches here, which they aim to put a stop to. The meeting between these two teams is on November 8, 2024, at 3:45 AM (GMT+8).
Genoa CFC
In Serie A, Parma and Genoa faced off against each other, with neither side having won a game since August. Andrea Pinamonti scored an 80th-minute winner, leveling the standings with Parma. Under-fire boss Alberto Gilardino had the chance to introduce Mario Balotelli, a free agent. Genoa, now out of the drop zone and nine points, will aim to secure a first league win at Marassi. They are one of only two Serie A sides to have achieved success in front of their own fans, along with Monza. Gilardino aims to end this drought on Thursday.
Alberto Gilardino made one change in Genoa’s squad due to injury, replacing Sabelli with Zanoli. The starting XI against Como may be similar, with injured players like Gollini, Bani, Messias, Malinovskyi, De Winter, Norton-Cuffy, and Vitinha.
Como 1907
Como, led by Cesc Fabregas, faced a 1-0 defeat in their recent match against Empoli, where they dominated possession but only produced two shots on target. The Lariani have only collected one point in their last five matches and have been winless since September. Como has conceded 22 times at a rate of two goals per game, with only Verona having a worse record. Fabregas needs to address defensive issues to avoid falling back to Serie B. With seven teams separated by just one point at the foot of the table, it could be a close-fought battle over the months ahead.
Cesc Fabregas will return to his strongest side after resting key players, while Lucas Da Cunha, Andrea Belotti, and Pepe Reina should drop to the bench. Como may be missing Sergi Roberto, Ignace Van der Brempt, Luca Mazzitelli, and Maximo Perrone.
Prediction:
Como 1907
