Genoa vs Como prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups - November 7, 2024
In the 12th round of Italy's Serie A, Genoa will face Como. The match is set to take place in Genoa on Thursday, November 7, with kickoff scheduled for 20:45 Central European Time. My suggestion is to bet on the match winner.
Match Preview
Genoa has struggled at the start of the season, facing numerous issues. However, in their last match, coach Gilardino's team managed to defeat Parma away, which allowed them to temporarily escape the relegation zone.
Another noteworthy event in that game was the debut of the controversial Mario Balotelli for Genoa. Remarkably, the Italian forward received a yellow card just five minutes after coming off the bench.
Como has decent potential and hinted at a mid-table battle early in the season. However, recent results have shown they are more likely to be fighting for survival.
Coach Fabregas's team has lost their last three matches, allowing other teams near the relegation zone to catch up. Como is now only one point away from the relegation zone.
Match Facts
- Genoa hasn't won at home in their last seven games.
- Como is winless in their last five games.

Head-to-Head
In their last six meetings, each team has won twice, with the other two games ending in a draw.
Prediction
Bookmakers find it difficult to favor one team over the other. However, I believe Genoa, playing at home, cannot afford to lose to such an opponent, and that will be my bet.
