Como form and stats

There's been little loot from Como's travels as they have only collected 3 points from 7 away games in the Serie B. Como only have 0 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 3 draws. One point away has become something of a habit for Como who have played out draws in their last three away games.

Como have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 7 league away games 8 goals have been scored. Como have conceded 17 goals in these games.
