Genoa vs Como team news and expert analysis
The Genoa club changed managers during the previous season. Once again, the move paid off: they collected 41 points and finished in a safe 16th place. After the summer break, they began with a 4-1 victory, although that came in the cup against modest opponents Ascoli. They subsequently suffered an expected 0-2 home defeat to Napoli in the league. They also failed to score against Lazio and lost 0-1.
Como were the biggest revelation of last season, which was their second campaign following their long-awaited return to Serie A. They came close to reaching the Coppa Italia final, but after taking the lead, they ultimately lost to Inter in the semi-finals. In the league, however, they finished ahead of Milan and Napoli to sensationally claim fourth place. After the break, they opened their campaign with a 1-1 draw away to Udinese. They then produced a 2-1 victory over Napoli, even away from home.
Frendrup and his teammates averaged 1.08 goals per game while conceding 1.34. The 2025/2026 revelation averaged 1.71 goals scored and just 0.76 conceded per match.
