Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Bologna will be looking to revive their Champions League hopes when they take on Como in the Serie A round 23. The Rossoblu are only five points behind top four, meaning that Saturday’s clash is of big importance for the home side. Swiss midfielder Remo Freuler is back from the Champions League ban, while both Michel Aebischer and Charalampos Lykogiannis are major doubts.
I Lariani, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 2-1 loss to Atalanta. Como are only two points clear of the relegation zone, but they should not be looking for points in Saturday’s clash as Bologna are a real force to be reckoned with at home. Cesc Fabregas can’t count on his compatriot Sergio Roberto for this match, while all Gabrielloni, Van der Brempt, and Moreno are rated doubtful. In their last meeting at Stadio Renato Dall’Ara, back in 2002, Bologna defeated Como 1-0.
