---------------------------------
Como
At the very start of the transfer window this month, Como was very active, wasting no time in bringing in new players. Two newcomers made an immediate impact on Tuesday night: Assane Diaw scored a goal from a Maxence Caqueret assist, putting "Lariani" ahead against AC Milan. However, they couldn’t hold onto this lead (1:2). Milan scored the winning goal at the end of the match, making Como the team with the most goals conceded in the last 15 minutes of a game (11), with 7 of those conceded in added time.
Como has now signed Dele Alli, who last played for Besiktas in February 2023. "I see him very well in the role of Nico Pas. We're going to try to help him get back to a high level," said Cesc Fabregas. The coach of Como publicly dismissed the desire to sign Ansu Fati: "I asked for him 6 months ago, now it’s no longer relevant."
Just one point above the relegation zone, the "biancoblu" are engaged in a survival battle, and points at home could be crucial. In nine matches at "Sinigalia", they have secured three wins, three draws, and three losses— a better home record than many of their competitors.
Udinese
Udinese arrives at the "Sigiiglia" Stadium with a four-match unbeaten streak. In the previous round, the Friulians drew with Atalanta (1:1), where they were quite unlucky: Alexis Sanchez hit the post twice in quick succession, and Atalanta goalkeeper Marco Carnesecchi made several outstanding saves. Sitting in 10th place in the Serie A standings, the team last suffered an away defeat in November, so the trip to Como should not inspire fear.
Como is an atypical newcomer to Serie A, a team that seeks to dominate with short passing and high pressing. These are key characteristics that define higher-tier teams rather than those recently promoted. They are an unusual club, possessing the resources to potentially fight for European competition places or even, possibly, the Scudetto in the future. Various movie stars, such as George Clooney, have been spotted attending their matches!
Will Sanchez start again? I can't tell you that; I don't know myself yet. They say a winning team doesn’t change its line-up, but we didn’t win against Atalanta. Sanchez and Thauvin played together for the first time, but they did well," stated head coach Kosta Runjajic.
Como possible starting lineup:
Butez; Goldaniga, Dossena, Kempf; Van der Brempt, Da Cunha, Caqueret, Fadera; Strefezza, Diao; Cutrone
Udinese possible starting lineup:
Sava; Kristensen, Bijol, Solet; Modesto, Lovric, Karlstrom, Payero, Kamara; Thauvin, Lucca
