Como form and stats

Como have collected 12 points from their Serie C: Girone A home games so far after 3-3-2.

Happy days for Como in their previous game, a Serie C: Girone A match away at Grosseto (placed 11th) that ended with a 4-3 victory. Before that game, the 2-1 home victory against Carrarese.

As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? World class coaching! That was the thoughts of M. Banchini when A. Gabrielloni scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 63rd minute.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Como have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found nine games) they have won three times, drawn five and lost one.

Como have scored 7 league goals here from 8 matches, not a lot. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. On the other hand, Como have conceded 8 goals.

Livorno form and stats

We have checked recent matches where Livorno have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 17 games were two victories, five draws and ten defeats.

The attacking power of Livorno when travelling is not overwhelming with 7 goals scored from 8 league matches away. 8 goals have been conceded by Livorno in these games.
