Como – Monza

The teams will delight fans with effective football

Seven rounds in a row can not win Como. In this stretch, the team suffered five defeats. One of them in the last round. At the "Giuseppe Sinigaglia" Como met with Fiorentina. Fiorentina scored in the 19th minute and the game calmed down. The hosts started to show initiative, and perhaps their most dangerous moment came in the 60th minute. However, Palladino's men had the final say. Sex Fabregas' side had been close to victory against Genoa the game before. "Adzurri" scored first, could have doubled the advantage (VAR system intervened), but missed three points. They missed because of the Griffins' goal in the 90+2nd minute. After 13 rounds Como has ten points and leads the group of outsiders. Monza is also winless, but its series is counted in five matches. In the last round, the Brianzolli played a very logical draw with Torino. The rivals exchanged goals in an even game, and it seems that this result suited both. Before that, Nesta's men lost to Lazio (0:1), Milan (0:1) and Atalanta (2:0). An uneasy stretch did not allow the Biancorossi to rise from the relegation zone. The team is on the 19th line and has nine points in its asset. Como still have a significant shortfall in goals scored. Fabregas' men have scored 13 goals in 13 games, but according to the xG metric they should have scored 3.17 more. At the same time, the Adzurri are conceding a disastrous amount of goals. Thus, the team took the ball out of the net 25 times. Only Verona have more - 32. Although Monza concedes less (16 goals), but has an underachievement on xGA. So, "brianzolli", according to this metric, could write in their passport another 2.22 goals. It is worth noting that the proposed bet lost only in one away game of Nesta's wards. It happened within the match of the first round with Empoli (0:0). As for Como, there were two returns and three "runs" for this bet on "Giuseppe Sinigaglia". It is important to say that the "Adzurri" only once did not score in home games. Fabregas' side need to break their losing streak, and the recent defeats at home will only spur the hosts into action. Monza have had a difficult calendar and are now eager to maximise their chances against their direct rivals. Will these factors lead to goals? Quite possibly.
