Evenly matched teams: Cosenza vs Como match preview

It's no vacation for neither Cosenza nor Como as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Como have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1100 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Cosenza form and stats

Cosenza have only played one Serie B game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 3 wins, 9 draws and 7 defeats from 19 matches.

The home team returns to Stadio San Vito-Luigi Marulla after being equal after 90 minutes with Perugia (placed 11th) on their last time out; the Serie B game ended 1-1. Goalkeeper Mauro Vigorito got the top rating on the team in that game; 7.32 out of ten. Vigorito stopped the opponent with five saves.

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 Cosenza have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 15 matches with the results: Won six, drawn six and lost three.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Serie B game versus Crotone in only four days. This game is also played here at Stadio San Vito-Luigi Marulla.

Cosenza has scored 2 goals so far and conceded 1 goal from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.

Como form and stats

Things could have gone better for Como in their Serie B away matches, but 2 points from 2 games is all right. Visiting Como has seen their last two away games both end with a tied score and one point each.

Como aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 228 league minutes without a goal. A. Cerri was the last player to find the net.

Como might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Frosinone proved too strong as Como slumped to a 0-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia. Midfield player Alessandro Bellemo was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.42/10. Bellemo hit three key passes and dribled passed the opponent 1 of 1 times.

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

After this away game Como return home for a Serie B game against Benevento. That game is only four sleeps after this.

Como have the goal stats of 3-3 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
