Como vs Genoa prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-09-14 18:45.
[p]After both suffered 1-0 defeats prior to the international break, Como and Genoa are looking to bounce back in the final Serie A game of matchday three. [/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]After brushing Lazio aside on opening weekend, Como were brought crashing back down to earth before the break when Bologna beat them 1-0. A summer spend in the region of £100m has heaped pressure on Cesc Fà bregas’s men to perform this season, so a return home could be timely given that Como have won four of their last five home league games (L1). There’s a slice of history on offer for Como here too, as they could win their first two home games of a Serie A campaign for the first time since 1951/52, and having won both of their Monday-held home league games last term, the omens appear positive. [/p]
[p]Genoa remain winless in Serie A this season (D1, L1), failing to take advantage of having two home games to open the campaign. It’s a continuation of the struggles they faced at the end of last season, with their last nine Serie A games yielding just a single victory (D3, L5), although there’s a silver lining in the fact that three of those four avoidances of defeat came in away games. That would hint that Genoa are competent travellers, which certainly wasn’t the case last season, when they rounded off the campaign with one win from their last 11 Serie A away games (D5, L5). [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
