Como’s Three Scorers Aim to Extend Six-Point Gap Over Parma

Como carry a six-point table advantage

Como welcome Parma to Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia on Monday, September 14, with the teams separated by six points after three rounds. Como sit sixth on seven points, having won twice and drawn once, while Parma are 17th with one point from a draw and two defeats. Lazio lead the league on 10 points, so Como can keep close to the early pace with another positive result. Parma, meanwhile, need a response to prevent the gap near the bottom from growing.

The match starts at 16:30 UTC, with G. Mucera appointed referee. Como’s home figures currently show no wins, draws, defeats or goals because their listed home record contains no completed home games. Parma have lost their only recorded away match, scoring none and conceding twice. Those numbers offer Parma little statistical comfort, although the limited sample means Como’s home level remains untested.

Stable Como shape against Parma’s adjustments

Como have used a 4-2-3-1 in all three matches. That consistency could help them establish a clear attacking structure, particularly with a settled formation behind their forward players. Parma have used three different shapes: 4-3-3, 4-4-2 and 3-4-2-1, each once. The variety may give them flexibility, but it also leaves their tactical plan less clearly established from the available data.

Como’s approach is likely to focus on making the most of its familiar setup, while Parma may need to choose the shape that best protects a defence that has conceded twice in its one recorded away fixture. That is an analytical expectation rather than an established match pattern, but the contrast in formation use gives Como the clearer structural reference point.

Como’s forwards provide the clearest scoring threat

M. Baturina and Assane Diao lead Como’s listed attacking numbers, with two goals and one assist each in three appearances. T. Douvikas has also scored twice in three appearances. Together, they give Como three proven contributors to the early-season attack and several routes to goal within the 4-2-3-1.

No Parma player is included in the supplied league scorer-chart entries, so their attacking threat cannot be assigned to a named player from the available information. Their recent sequence of loss, loss and draw also contrasts with Como’s draw, win and win, with the most recent result listed first.

Absences add uncertainty to Parma’s selection

Como will be without J. Addai because of an Achilles tendon injury. Parma will miss H. Nicolussi Caviglia with a groin injury, while A. Bernabe and S. Britschgi are questionable because they are inactive, and O. Diallo is questionable with an injury. These absences may reduce Parma’s selection options as they decide whether to continue rotating between formations. Como’s three named scorers remain central to the home side’s attacking outlook.

Prediction

Prediction: Como 2-0 Parma. Como’s stronger start, consistent formation and three named scorers give them the edge against a Parma side with one away defeat and no recorded away goals.
