Genoa vs Como Prediction & Betting Tips (7 November)

Author of a promising previous exercise, Genoa unfortunately fails to confirm this season. Indeed, Alberto Gilardino's men are only 17th in Serie A today, 1 point ahead of the relegated side. Last Monday, they carried out a great operation by winning on the lawn of Parma 0-1, which allowed them to leave the red zone. This result is particularly saving since it put an end to a very bad series of 8 games without a win, 2 draws and 4 defeats. Back in the elite this season, Como logically expects to struggle not to to come down.

The start of the championship confirms these fears. The promoted player is currently 15th in Serie A and has the same number of points as his opponent of the day. After having had two successes at the end of September, the protégés of Cesc Fabregas fell back into their bad habits. Held to a draw at home by Parma 1-1, they otherwise lost to Naples 3-1, Torino 1-0, Lazio 1-5 and Empoli last Monday 1-0.

The Genoa squad is reduced by the withdrawals of goalkeeper No. 1 Gollini, important defenders De Winter and Bani, former Marseillais Malinovsky and Vitinha, the usual substitutes Norton-Cuffy and Ankeye as well as attackers Junior Messias and Ekuban. Author of the winning goal against Parma, striker Pinamonti (4 goals in SA) should obviously start this Thursday. On the last day, Balotelli came on and made his debut for Genoa. Como remains without important midfielders Sergi Roberto and Perrone.

The starting right back van der Brempt is also in the infirmary. The good news comes from the return of midfielder Braunoder from suspension. On the bench against Empoli, offensive executives Nico Paz (1 goal and 2 assists in SA) and Cutrone (4 goals in SA) should find a starting place for this meeting. The experienced Belotti (1 goal in SA) is also applying, as is the Brazilian winger Strefezza (2 goals in SA).
