Como - Empoli: betting tip for the Italian Championship match

Current form

Como went on an unpleasant three-match unbeaten streak during the international break. In this segment, there were away defeats from Roma and Milan with the same score 1:2, as well as a 1-1 home draw with Venice. As you can see, there were no problems in the attack, but the defense was malfunctioning. Nevertheless, Cesc Fabregas' tactics of constant pressure and possession of the ball are not always effective. Nevertheless, even taking into account these three not very successful matches, Como occupies a high 13th place for itself and is seven points away from the relegation zone.

Disqualifications and injuries

Dossena will not play today due to injury. Paz and Alli will miss the game due to suspension.

Interesting betting trends

• In the last five matches, Como has not lost in the first half (three wins and two draws)
• Como has not lost in six of the previous nine matches in Serie A.

Approximate line–up: Butes – Smolcic, Goldaniga, Kempf, Valle – Cakre, Perrone, De Cunha, Strefezza, Cutrone, Diao.

Current form

Empoli is going down pretty fast. The Toscans have not won a single match in Serie A for 14 consecutive matches. Before the break for the national team matches, two defeats were recorded with a minimum score of 0:1 from Roma and Torino. In the standings, the wards of Roberto D'averse are in 18th place in the relegation zone, three points behind the saving 17th line. At the same time, it should be noted that Empoli made it to the semi-finals of the Italian Cup, beating Juventus in a penalty shootout. Success, of course, is serious for a modest club, but still maintaining registration in Serie A is much more important.

Disqualifications and injuries

Empoli's infirmary is overcrowded, which is one of the reasons for the numerous failures. Haas, Ebuehi, Sazonov, Pellegri, Solbakken, Viti, Fazzini, Anjorin and Malech will not play today due to injuries.

Interesting betting trends

• Empoli has not lost in the first half in three of the last five matches.
• Empoli has not won in seven previous away meetings in Serie A (two draws and five defeats)

Approximate line–up: Silvestri – De Sciglio, Ismayli, Goglichidze - Gyasi, Henderson, Grassi, Pezzella – Esposito, Cacace – Colombo.
