Two struggling sides will take the pitch as newly promoted Como take on Bologna, who are awaiting their Champions League bow. This Serie A 2024-25 campaign match at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia on Saturday comes with our prediction of being a low-scoring affair.

Como went into the international break bottom of the league standings with only one point from three matches. Bologna was only marginally better, with two points and two spots higher than Como. The hosts have had a tough initiation to Serie A, a competition they are back after a gap of 21 years. They were beaten 3-0 by Juventus on matchday one, followed by a 1-1 draw with Cagliari and a 1-0 loss to Udinese.

Goals seem to be an issue, as they could hit the back of the net only once in this league campaign. To go with their league results, they even lost in the Coppa Italia competition to Sampdoria, where the regular time score was 1-1. Bologna are winless in their three matches of the season, drawing 1-1 against Udinese, losing 3-0 to Napoli, and drawing 1-1 against Empoli.

The highs of last season had earned a spot in Champions League football, which is around the corner next week. The visitors would be desperate for some winning momentum for their big day in Europe, and a win here will be ideal. Yet, a 3-0 loss to Napoli on matchday two puts question marks over their ability this season as they come to terms with squad depletion.
