"Como" - "Genoa": Bookmakers' Odds

"Como"

"We are in good form; everyone is back healthy and ready. Van der Brempt and Diawara are out, but the rest are fine. We are ready to fight. Addai and Da Cunha have trained, Kaker has played, and Diego Carlos too. He is recovering well and getting playing time.

I think Serie A has improved this year with the arrival of some top players, which will take the league to a new level. I see stronger teams all over the place, all of them picking up points.

I hope to see Como play like Bologna, but with more goals. We need to sharpen our advantage in the final third.

Efforts matter; they highlight where we are going wrong, for example when an attacking midfielder should pass to a winger. These details have led to technical errors, but we we can improve. We saw glimpses against Lazio. I'm not a fan of results-oriented play; I discuss it whether we win badly or play well. For us, the path is consistent. We can't chat like in a bar; we have to analyze deeply. We know what solutions we were aiming for.

Morata? Only he can say what he feels. But he almost reached the goal; he even played 20-25 minutes for his national team. Did Douvikas not play for Greece? Well, he came back full of energy. Sometimes this disappointment fuels the club's game.

Genoa are a team that adapts to you. They press with four or five men. They lack a tight defensive scheme, but they are aggressive in pursuit.

Vieira is a role model as a person, a player and now a coach. Faced with him... everything has changed compared to the previous one. He used to rely on zonal defense and a cautious approach, but now he is direct, finds solutions in the field, not in the back. Genoa is a solid team with a strong defense. I think "He is highly valued in football," said Cesc Fabregas.

Genoa

"Gronbeck has a problem with his nose, but the news is somewhat encouraging. We will wait until tomorrow morning to see if he can train. The news we have received is positive. Onana had health problems and will not play on Monday, as will Corne.

And what about the match in Como? It will be difficult, like last year, either against Juventus or Lecce. I always say that there are no easy games. I liked what I saw on the field against the Bianconeri. We did everything to score, but it didn't happen. It's a shame that Mazzini hit the crossbar; these moments are important. We need to keep working with confidence and the goals and victories will come.

We are looking to make progress. These two weeks have been difficult, many have been on international leave. But my staff and I want Colombo, Vitinha and Caleb to get more support. We need to control possession better. And in the final third of the pitch, create more space in the opponent's penalty area.

Ruslan Malinovsky? He played 90 minutes against Nice. He is in great physical shape and is vital for us. He can operate in front of the defence or a little higher. He scores and assists. He is improving and ready to go.

Soukou said we need to get to 40 points quickly? The sooner the better. The message from the president, the director and us has not changed. We are all on harmony,” said Patrick Vieira.

Como vs. Genoa: Author's Prediction

At home, Como won't let many teams escape this season - just ask Lazio. Cesc Fabregas's side boast a much stronger squad than Genoa - no surprise considering he spent over 100 million euros for newcomers. So I'm betting on a home win and nothing else.
