Como form and stats

Como have played 8 Serie B games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-2-3 (wins-draws-losses).

A strong away win for Como against Vicenza the last match, as Vignali were on target. Como goalkeeper Facchin did an outstanding job against Vicenza with six saves, so vital to securing the victory. Davide Facchin, who guards the goal, was given a match rating of 8.15 out of 10 in that game. Facchin stopped the opponent with six saves and topped it up with a clean sheet.

Preceding that match was a defeat to Pisa (0-1).

This is expected to be a close game, with Como perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Como as a small favourite), we find nine games. Como has won five of these, drawn two and lost two.

The Como fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 9 in 8 matches. It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. From these home matches, Como have conceded only 7 goals.

Reggina form and stats

3-2-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Reggina in their Serie B matches away. With the Reggina losing streak of five defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.

Reggina have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 234 minutes ago. Montalto was the goal scorer.

Reggina's previous game was their home loss versus Alessandria (0-4). As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Alessandria was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind. Gianluca Di Chiara, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.23. Chiara won 3 of 7 duels.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Lecce wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Reggina playing away and similar expectations, we found 13 relevant matches. Results were four Reggina wins, six draws and three defeats.

The visitors have scored 6 goals from 8 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. 10 goals have been conceded by Reggina in these games. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
