Como vs Genoa Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Serie A 2025-26

The Blue and Whites will take on the Old Fool on matchday 3 in the Serie A.

Both teams suffered defeat before the international break. They will lock horns and aim to get the three points in Serie A.

Como started their new season with a win against Lazio, but suffered a narrow defeat to Bologna as the match ended in a 1-0 scoreline. Cesc Fabregas has a lot of ambition with this team, and surely he is very much determined to achieve new heights with the club.

Last season, Como outperformed and surprised everyone. They have spent a lot of money this season, which shows that they are aiming to get the European spots. The club management has a lot of expectations from the team.

This puts a lot of pressure on players as well as on the coaching staff. They have yet to face defeat against Genoa in a competitive fixture, and surely they will be hungry to bounce back and resume their campaign.

On the other hand, Genoa started their season with a goalless draw against Lecce, but suffered their first defeat of the season against Juventus. They won’t be worried facing Como away from home, despite their record against them not being in their favour.

Patrick Vieira has a tough task to do, but he will be confident of his boys getting a good result against a tough side. This will be a mouthwatering clash for sure.

Players to Watch

Nico Paz (Como)

Nico has grown and developed a lot in the last few seasons. Como’s head coach, Cesc Fabregas, fully trusts him to deliver top performances on the pitch. He is an attacking midfielder with a powerful and highly skilled left foot, known for his threatening box runs and strong goal-scoring ability.

Last season, he performed really well. The coaching staff, club management, and the fans have a lot of expectations from him to perform this season as well. Paz is a very agile player who creates a lot of opportunities for himself and his teammates.

In two games this season, he has scored once and provided one assist.

Morten Frendrup (Genoa)

The Danish international’s ability is his biggest strength on the pitch. He has proved himself consistently on the pitch for his team. Frendrup makes a lot of interceptions with his long legs and is great at anticipating the moves of the opponent.

He is mostly utilised as a box-to-box midfielder. He is someone who brings a lot of energy to the midfield. Physically, he is someone who can dominate his opponents very well without fouling them and making rash decisions on the field.
