Genoa VS Como

Genoa's start to the new Serie A season has been abysmal. After two consecutive defeats, they're at the 18th spot with 0 points, having scored no goals and conceded three. They failed to find the back of the net in both games. In the first round, they lost 0 - 2 at home to Napoli, and in the second, suffered a 0 - 1 defeat away to Lazio. Astonishingly, they managed 19 shots in these two games without a single goal, highlighting their woeful finishing. Manager De Rossi employs a 3 - 5 - 2 system, relying on high - intensity pressing at home and crosses from the flanks. However, with Kolombo and Vitinha in poor form and the midfield passing being inconsistent, the attack has completely stalled. The situation gets worse on the personnel front. Javier, Venturino, and Traore are out injured, and full - back Norton - Cuffy transferred away at the deadline, reducing the depth of the squad on the flanks. New signing little Robinho might make his debut, but it's uncertain whether he can make an immediate impact. Genoa has a poor record in recent head - to - head meetings, failing to win in the last six encounters against Como. At home, they've only managed one win in the last five league games. This history will likely weigh on their minds as they face Como.
