Como prepare to do battle with SPAL in this Serie B match. Everything you need to learn about the fixture is located here!
- Como have the the worst goal difference (-5) in Serie B
- SPAL have not yet lost a game away.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Como form and stats
Como have played three Serie B home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 1 point from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. Como has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager Gattuso and the players.
Stress levels are on the rise for Como's attacking players as they have now played 283 minutes without scoring in a league game. Kerrigan was their last goal scorer.
The Como crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-2 to Sudtirol here at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia. Defender Binks got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.4/10. Binks won 9 of 11 duels.
A defeat was the result before that one, 0-2 away at Frosinone.The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Como have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 8 matches with the results: Won 5, drawn 0 and lost 3.
The lack of attacking qualities in Como means that they have only scored 1 goal in 3 league home games, less than half a goal per match. On the other hand, Como have conceded 4 goals.
SPAL form and stats
SPAL are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Serie B, having played 2 games and collected 2 points (0 wins, 2 draws and 0 losses). Two points from the last two away games for SPAL, which the math geniuses among you will translate to two draws.
Impressive finishing from Finotto and Mantia secured the home win 2-0 against Venezia in their previous game. Goalkeeper Alfonso was absolutely vital in the SPAL victory against Venezia, making six saves. Alfonso (goalkeeper) was the best performer with a rating of 8.71. Alfonso topped it up with a clean sheet.
A 2-2 draw at Bari 1908's stadium before that.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with SPAL playing away and similar expectations, we found 10 relevant matches. Results were 2 SPAL wins, 4 draws and 4 defeats.
It's early days yet, but SPAL has scored 3 and conceded 3 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
