- Como won in the last H2H meeting at Genoa, 2-0, in Serie A 2025/2026.
- Como are unbeaten in the last 2 meetings between the clubs (W1, D1).
- Genoa have lost their only Serie A 2026/2027 home match, conceding two goals.
Como can make Genoa suffer at home
Genoa are 17th in the Serie A 2026-2027 table with 0 points from 1 match played, while Calcio Como sit above them in 10th place on 1 point from 1 match.
Calcio Como are the bookmakers' favourites at 19/25 for this Serie A clash against the 4/1-priced hosts, while the draw is 47/20, so the market is leaning towards an away win.
But there is no obvious reason for this other than Genoa are playing at home and Como have some confidence in the fixture after claiming a 2-0 win here four months ago in Serie A 2025/2026. Calcio Como are also unbeaten in their last 2 meetings with Genoa (W1, D1) so they will have some momentum to carry over to this contest.
Tempo of game could be key
The styles of these two sides are in contrast and that could make the midfield battle the most interesting part of the fixture. Daniele De Rossi has Genoa set up in a 3-4-2-1 formation that prioritises width, fast vertical breaks with an aggressive press designed to win the ball back high up the pitch.
Cesc Fàbregas' men play a very different sort of football with a controlled possession style that uses positional play and selective pressing to dictate tempo and control the space in which the game will be played.
Como will be the most comfortable when they can take the ball off Genoa in wide areas, but the opposite will also be true for Il Grifone, so the tempo of the game will be crucial.
Low-scoring affair likely at Stadio Ferraris
Genoa's recent form in all competitions has been mixed with 2 wins and 3 defeats in their last 5, while Calcio Como have 1 win, 2 draws and 2 defeats in their 5 most recent outings. Their 3 most recent results make this clear - a 0-1 home defeat to Deportivo A Coruna, a 4-1 home win over Ascoli and a 0-2 defeat to Napoli in Serie A - so the bookies' price favours Como, who are the pick at 19/25.
Como have scored one goal in one away trip so far, so a cagey draw or a narrow away win seems the most likely outcome here, while BTTS No at 73/100 and Under 2.5 goals at 31/50 are good prices to take.
Lorenzo Colombo is Genoa's main goal threat with 3 goals in his last 5 appearances, while Anastasios Douvikas leads the way for Como with 2 goals in 5 - both of which have come in Serie A 2026-2027.
