Como - Venezia
Como look to maintain momentum against struggling Venezia
Anastasios Douvikas enters this matchday 10 clash in scintillating form, having spearheaded a potent attacking unit that recently dismantled Torino 3-1. Como have successfully navigated a demanding schedule, finding rhythm in Serie A with three consecutive victories that have propelled them up the table. Despite the injury-enforced absences of Trevoh Chalobah and Assane Diao, the expected XI remains balanced, with Maxence Caqueret and Nico Paz anchoring a midfield that has consistently dictated play. Playing at Stadio G. Sinigaglia, the hosts will look to leverage their current confidence to overcome a side that has historically proven difficult to break down.
Venezia arrive at Stadio G. Sinigaglia searching for a revival after consecutive defeats against Inter and Genoa. While their recent win over SSC Napoli demonstrated their ability to frustrate elite opposition, consistency remains an issue for the visitors. With Thierry Correia sidelined, the expected XI must rely on the defensive discipline of Juan Jesus and Matias Moreno to contain the hosts' movement. Previous meetings between these two sides have been tightly contested affairs, often defined by narrow margins, and Venezia will need Akor Adams to lead a disciplined counter-attacking effort if they are to disrupt Como’s current run.
