Not a lot of time to rest for the home team, as they performed in a Serie B fixture only four days back. That game was an away game at Frosinone, so at least Como are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Cosenza form and stats

There's been little loot from Cosenza's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 11 away games in the Serie B. Cosenza only have 0 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 5 draws. The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Cosenza, who have now gone 13 games without a victory. The Ternana game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since.

Cosenza might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Perugia proved too strong as Cosenza slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Stadio San Vito-Luigi Marulla.

Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Vicenza that ended 0-0.

We have checked recent matches where Cosenza have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 15 games were two victories, seven draws and six defeats.

The schedule is very tough for Cosenza now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Serie B game at Crotone is waiting in only three days.

The attacking power of Cosenza when travelling is not overwhelming with 7 goals scored from 11 league matches away. Cosenza have conceded 21 goals in these games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.
