Como vs Venezia team news and expert analysis
The club from the "Giuseppe Sinigaglia" stunned everyone by finishing fourth in the previous campaign. As a result, they will make their Champions League debut. The Italians opened their European campaign with a 4-1 thrashing of RB Leipzig, but then lost 2-3 to Feyenoord before comfortably beating Manchester United. They made a strong start in Serie A, but then surprisingly lost 0-2 to Frosinone, while a game against Roma ended in a goalless draw despite Como's numerical advantage. After that, however, they went on to beat Fiorentina, Sassuolo and Torino.
After being relegated to Serie B, the team from the city on the water became champions there. But following their return, they lost every league game, were also eliminated by their second cup opponent and eventually sacked head coach Stroppa in October. They immediately pulled off a shock 1-0 win over Napoli! However, they then suffered back-to-back clean-sheet defeats against Genoa and Inter.
The Champions League debutants are scoring 1.89 goals per game in domestic competition while conceding 0.89. The newly promoted underdogs are averaging just 0.67 goals scored and a significantly higher 2.11 goals conceded.
