Como hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 13 points and a 14th position in the Serie C: Girone A table. Visiting Pro Patria holds 8th place with 15 pts.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Como and Pro Patria.

Como form and stats

When playing at home in the Serie C: Girone A, Como have managed 1 win, 1 draw and suffered 2 defeats from 4 games.

The Como fans got no joy from their last match, a Serie C: Girone A game also here at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia: A 1-2 defeat against Pro Vercelli (placed 2nd). A strong away win before that one, visiting Juventus U23 and winning 2-1.

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 eight games) they have won three times, drawn four and lost one.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Como as they are travelling to their away game against AlbinoLeffe in the Serie C: Girone A. That match is four days after this one.

Como has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 2 goals from 4 games. On the other hand, Como have conceded 5 goals.

Pro Patria form and stats

Playing away, Pro Patria have won 3 games, drawn 1 and suffered 1 defeat in the Serie C: Girone A this season. Patria has recorded two wins in a row in their away matches and hold legitimate hopes of a third one.

Home advantage was not enough for Patria in their previous game, as they lost their Serie C: Girone A-match, hosting AlbinoLeffe, 1-2. Prior to that result Patria won their away game at Piacenza. The scoreline was 3-0.

We have checked recent matches where Patria have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those eight games were one victory, four draws and three defeats.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Serie C: Girone A trip to Pontedera.

Patria find the net regularly in their away games. 6 goals from 5 away fixtures in the league. Patria's manager I. Javorcic has created a great defensive setup working very nicely in away games with only 2 conceded goals. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last five meetings: two - three - zero (Como wins - draws - Pro Patria wins). As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four had two or less.
