Como’s Struggles in Serie A
Como currently shares the very foot of the league table with Venezia. They have managed to claim just one point from their opening three fixtures. Their last match was a missed opportunity to secure another point. Two weeks ago, they faced Udinese and lost 0-1. Striker Patrick Cutrone missed a crucial penalty in the fifth minute of stoppage time, which could have changed the outcome of the match.
Despite their struggles, Como has shown tremendous attacking football. They registered 21 shots against Udinese, indicating their offensive potential. However, their forwards have yet to find their shooting boots at the beginning of the campaign. This lack of finishing has been a significant factor in their inability to secure victories.
Bologna’s Quest for Points
Bologna, on the other hand, has also had a rocky start to the season. They have only managed to claim two points from their first three outings in the league. In their previous match, they settled for a 1-1 stalemate at home against Empoli. Despite creating numerous chances in the final third, they were unable to convert those opportunities into goals.
Bologna’s attacking play has been promising, but their defense has revealed too many weaknesses. This inconsistency has left them vulnerable, making it difficult to secure wins. As they prepare to face Como, they will need to tighten their defense while maintaining their attacking momentum.
Match Preview: Como vs Bologna
Key Players to Watch
- Como: Patrick Cutrone will be a player to watch. After missing the penalty against Udinese, he will be eager to redeem himself and find the back of the net. Additionally, Como’s midfielders will need to support the attack to create more scoring opportunities.
- Bologna: Look out for their forward line, which has shown potential despite the lack of goals. If they can capitalize on their chances, they could pose a significant threat to Como’s defense.
Como vs Bologna Prediction
Both teams have shown an attacking-minded approach in their previous matches. Therefore, we should expect an open game packed with chances on both ends. Como did not impress in their opening two games, but they looked better in their last round’s defeat at Udinese. Bologna’s back line has shown vulnerabilities in their first three matches, which could allow Como to shine offensively on Saturday.
The value is enormous with the “Both Teams To Score” pick at the 1.95 odds. Bologna also created numerous chances in their 1-1 draw against Empoli before the international break.
For those looking for a bolder prediction, the 1-1 draw as the correct score punt offers attractive odds at 6.00. This outcome seems plausible given both teams’ current form and their need for points.
