Following an impressive performance at the Maradona that secured the BiancoBlu their first victory of the season, Como return to action this Friday evening in Genoa for Matchday 3 of Serie A Enilive.
The Lariani head to Marassi full of confidence and eager to build momentum following their impressive display against Napoli. They face a Genoa side still searching for their first Serie A victory of the season and determined to give everything on the pitch in front of their home supporters.
Como 1907 Head Coach Cesc Fàbregas ahead of Genoa vs Como:
"Going to Genoa is always a huge challenge. We’ll be playing in a mini ‘Bombonera’, a stadium with an extraordinary atmosphere and energy that can be a huge boost to Genoa throughout the match. If we want to get a positive result, we’ll have to perform at our very best.
"We’re coming off the back of a great performance against Napoli, and I feel the team is improving. We need to build on that momentum, maintaining our character and intensity while making sure we approach every match in the right way.
"I’m pleased with how the transfer window ended and with the squad we’ve built. I think we’re a strong team, with key players and plenty of different options. The aim is to keep improving, raise our level and build a squad capable of competing consistently."
Genoa
Genoa head into Friday’s fixture still searching for their first league win of the campaign and fully focused on claiming all three points in front of their home supporters.
The Rossoblù will look to set a high tempo and press aggressively from the outset. Vásquez will anchor the defence, while De Rossi will rely on the relentless energy of Frendrup in the heart of midfield. Up front, Baldanzi will operate in the hole behind the attacking pairing of Colombo and Vitinha.
Head-to-Head
Genoa and Como have met 33 times across Serie A, Serie B and the Coppa Italia, with Genoa recording 10 wins, Como 9 and 14 matches ending in draws.
The last fixture between the sides at Marassi, during last season’s campaign, saw Como claim a 2–0 victory, courtesy of goals from Douvikas and Diao.
