Como have hit impressive form, while Parma are creating very little: Como vs Parma prediction
The Serie A fourth-round match between Como and Parma will take place on 14 September at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia. The hosts remain unbeaten in the league and head into the match after two 4-1 victories, while the visitors have collected just one point.
Como: two impressive victories in a row
Cesc Fàbregas's side began the league campaign with a 1-1 draw against Udinese before beating Napoli 2-1 and Genoa 4-1. Como's unbeaten run in all competitions has therefore stretched to nine matches, including the end of last season.
During the week, the hosts made an impressive Champions League debut by thrashing RB Leipzig 4-1. Fàbregas has good squad depth at his disposal, so the congested schedule should not seriously affect the quality of their performances.
Parma: one point and attacking problems
Carlos Cuesta's side lost their opening two matches, 1-0 to Cagliari and 2-0 to Juventus. Their first point came only against Monza, when Simone Lontani's goal secured a 1-1 draw.
Parma have looked extremely limited in attack so far, registering just eight shots on target across three rounds. The visitors have also lost their last three away matches without scoring.
Match facts and head-to-head record
- Como are unbeaten in their last nine competitive matches.
- Parma have collected only one point from three Serie A matches.
- Parma have not won any of their last seven away matches against Como.
The hosts should take advantage of the visitors' attacking weakness: Como vs Parma prediction
Como look significantly more confident at the moment and are regularly creating plenty of chances. After two 4-1 victories, they head into this fixture in excellent spirits.
Parma are still struggling badly in attack and have been particularly weak away from home. Given the difference in form, the hosts look like clear favourites.
