Como vs Parma prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups - October 19, 2024
In the eighth round of the Italian Serie A, Como will face Parma at the Giuseppe Sinigaglia Stadium on Saturday. Here’s the expert prediction for the match from the Dailysports team.
Como
Returning to the top flight after 21 years, Como faces the tough challenge of surviving in Serie A and avoiding relegation next spring. However, under the guidance of Cesc Fabregas, the team has shown decent results, currently sitting in 14th place in the standings, just three points above the relegation zone.
Despite a poor start where the "white-blues" couldn’t secure a win in their first four matches, they bounced back with impressive victories over Atalanta (3-2) and Verona (3-2). However, before the international break, Como predictably fell to league leaders Napoli (3-1). Now, they have a chance to win two consecutive home matches in Serie A for the first time since 1988.
Parma
After winning Serie B last season, Parma returned to Serie A following three years in the lower division. The team started the campaign strongly, drawing with Fiorentina (1-1) and securing a 2-1 victory over Milan in the second round. However, they were unable to continue their winning form, recording two draws and three defeats in their subsequent matches.
Their latest setback was a 3-2 home loss to Cagliari, though they did manage to earn a valuable point away to Bologna (0-0) before the break. Currently, Parma occupies 15th place in the Serie A standings, two points behind their next opponent.
