Como form and stats

Let's have a look at how Como performed last season in the Serie C: Girone A: They landed a 1st position in the league table after playing out 23 victories, 6 draws and 9 defeats. In total they scored 59 and conceded 44 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 11 - drew 2 and lost 6 with 32/27 goals scored/conceded. One match played away so far in the Serie B for Como and it was a tie. Last season the statistics for their away games were 11 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses from 19 games.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Crotone (placed 9th) in their previous outing. The Serie B match ended in a draw 2-2. Midfielder Moutir Chajia was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 8.25. Chajia hit the woodwork once, served one assist, hit two key passes and dribled passed the opponent 5 of 6 times. As mentioned above, Como drew the match against Crotone. Manager G. Gattuso brought on Ettore Gliozzi to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked.

Preceding that game was the away Serie C: Girone A victory against Novara with the score of 5-0.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Como when being an outsider away as they are today, we find one match with the visitors losing zero times, drawing one and winning zero games.

It's early days yet, but Como has scored 2 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).

Head 2 Head

Stats for the last two meetings involving these two contenders are: one win for Lecce, one draw and zero wins for Como. Over 2,5 goals: one time; under 2,5 goals: one game.
