Como
Current form
Como made a great debut in the Champions League and managed to score six points in three rounds. In the last confrontation, Ozernye defeated Manchester United 4-1 on their own field and allowed the British only to score a prestige goal in stoppage time. Let's note the Argentine midfielder Nicolas Paz, who scored a double. Cesc Fabregas' team had previously failed to beat Feyenoord in the Netherlands (2:3), and in the opening match they left no chance for German Leipzig (4:1).
Como gained momentum in the Italian championship and won in the last four rounds. The team from the city of the same name rose to fourth place in the standings and has an asset of 23 points, two points behind the second Inter. In the last round, Fabregas's team won 1-0 against Venice, and earlier they were stronger than Torino (3:1).
Disqualifications and injuries
The injured Keane, Chalobah and Diao will miss the game.
Interesting betting trends
Como averages 3.3 goals per game in the Champions League.
The Champions League team conceded only one goal in the first half.
Approximate composition: Butes – Couto, Kempf, Ramon, Valle Miglia, Perrone Da Cunha, N. Paz, Baturina – Duvikas.
Lance has looked good in the last two games in the Champions League, but the French have let down their scoring chances – they haven't scored a single goal. In turn, the Italians made their strong debut at the tournament, were able to defeat Manchester United and Leipzig and scored 10 goals in three rounds. Ozernykh's skill is higher, and the coaching staff, led by Cesc Fabregas, will choose pressure rather than wait-and-see tactics with an emphasis on counterattacks. It is worth noting the attacking line led by Anastasius Duvikas and Nicolas Paz. The forward scores in every Champions League match, and the midfielder scored a double against the Red Devils.
Ozernye will act in an organized manner, they will definitely take advantage from the first minutes and take advantage of the uncertain defensive play of Kayuzak's players – they conceded seven goals in three Champions League matches. The bookmakers make Como the favorite and give a good odds on the victory of the Italian team, which we will bet on.
Como is excellent at the forefront of attacks and in the main European tournament scores at least two goals in each game, and also allows opponents to hit their own goal. It should be noted that in three matches in the Champions League, the Italian club scored five goals each, which indicates a good option for betting on a high total.
The betting tip is a total of more than 3.5 goals with a coefficient of 2.30
Betting on corners
Como is likely to rely on ball control and will play number one, as only a victory can lift Fabregas's players into the top eight. However, in the last three games of the tournament, the Italians served less than eight corners, and we believe that there will be few corners today.
The betting tip is that the total number of corners is less than 8.5 with a coefficient of 2.25
