Preview and betting odds for Como vs Cremonese at 20:00 on September 27, Round 5 of Serie A

The 0-2 defeat to Nerazzurri in May was the only time Biancoblu failed to score in their last 16 home games, emphasizing their potent scoring ability. Key players like Nico Paz (2 goals, 3 assists), Jesus Rodriguez Caraballo (scored twice midweek), and Anastasios Douvikas (goal and assist) are vital. Their attacking play, high pressing, and home advantage will help Como break their poor streak against Cremonese.

Cremonese, under coach Davide Nicola, have won 2 matches, earning 8 points from a possible 12, entering Round 5 after consecutive clean sheets against Hellas Verona and Parma (both 0-0). They previously beat AC Milan 2-1 at San Siro and Sassuolo 3-2 at home, but their last two games saw no goals scored or conceded, forcing Nicola to find a balance between attack and defense.

Fans remain hopeful due to a five-match winning streak against Como and a nine-year unbeaten run since losing in the Coppa Italia in November 2016. However, this record faces a challenge from Como’s four-match unbeaten run against promoted teams.

Another concern is Nicola’s lack of wins against Fabregas (one loss, one draw), threatening his aim of three consecutive clean sheets for the first time in Serie A. Key players such as goalkeeper Emil Audero (12 saves in two clean sheets), and defenders Federico Baschirotto, Filippo Terracciano, and Giuseppe Pezzella (all playing full matches) provide a strong foundation. Their solid defense and quick counterattacks need offensive improvements for better balance.

Team status for Como vs Cremonese

Como:Alberto Dossena (severe knee injury), Ignace Van der Brempt (hamstring), and Assane Diao (leg) will miss the match. Jesus Rodriguez Caraballo and Anastasios Douvikas may play after impressive midweek performances. Nico Paz rested midweek is almost certain to start.

Cremonese:Jamie Vardy (muscle), Martin Payero, Michele Collocolo (hamstring), and Jeremy Sarmiento are doubtful. Emil Audero’s participation is uncertain, while Baschirotto, Terracciano, and Pezzella are expected to start.
