Genoa and Como seek momentum at Stadio Luigi Ferraris
Genoa and Como arrive at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris this Friday for their Serie A matchday 3 encounter, both looking to establish their footing in the early stages of the season. While the hosts are searching for their first points of the campaign, the visitors travel with confidence following a significant result in their most recent outing.
Genoa's search for a spark
It has been a challenging start to the domestic season for Genoa, who currently find themselves chasing their first league points. After facing a narrow defeat away to Lazio on 30 August and a home loss to SSC Napoli on 22 August, the side is eager to rectify their form. Their only competitive victory in recent weeks came in the Coppa Italia, where they secured a convincing 4-1 win over Ascoli Calcio 1898 FC on 16 August.
Como's growing confidence
In contrast, Como enters this match on the back of a high-profile victory, having overcome SSC Napoli 2-1 on 30 August. This result followed a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Udinese on 22 August, marking a positive start to their league commitments. Their ability to compete against established opposition suggests a side that has carried the momentum from their late-season form into the current campaign.
Expected lineups and tactical outlook
Genoa is expected to field a side spearheaded by Lorenzo Colombo and Vitinha, with Tommaso Baldanzi operating in the midfield to bridge the gap between defence and attack. Justin Bijlow remains the expected choice in goal, supported by a defensive unit featuring Leo Oestigard and Johan Vasquez. The hosts will look to use the width of their forward line to disrupt the visiting structure.
Como is expected to counter with an attacking setup featuring Anastasios Douvikas and Assane Diao. The midfield trio of Martin Baturina, Nico Paz, and Maximo Perrone will be tasked with controlling the tempo, while Trevoh Chalobah and Yan Couto anchor the defensive line in front of Jean Butez. Their recent tactical flexibility has been a hallmark of their play during this early stretch.
Historical context of the fixture
Matches between these two sides have often been tight affairs, with Como holding the upper hand in their most recent meeting. Como secured a 2-0 victory at this very venue on 26 April 2026, a result that will likely be on the minds of both sets of players. Previous encounters, including a 1-1 draw in September 2025 and a 2-2 stalemate in Serie B back in April 2023, highlight the competitive nature of this rivalry.
The path forward
With both teams looking to make their mark on the Serie A table, the match at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris presents a pivotal opportunity. Genoa will be desperate to use their home advantage to halt their current losing streak, while Como will aim to prove that their recent success against Napoli was no fluke. The battle for control in the middle of the park is likely to dictate which side walks away with the points.
