Betting tip: winners double no2

Como head into this fixture in excellent form and have a great opportunity to continue their impressive run at home. Cesc Fàbregas’ side have won four consecutive matches across all competitions, scoring 12 goals and conceding only three. Their latest victory was a convincing 3-1 comeback against Torino, demonstrating their attacking quality and ability to fight back under pressure.

Como have also made an impressive start to their Serie A campaign, collecting 20 points from their first nine matches. Sitting fourth in the table, they are showing the consistency and quality needed to compete near the top of the division.

Venezia, on the other hand, are struggling badly. They have collected just three points from nine league matches and have suffered eight defeats. Their defensive problems are particularly concerning, having conceded 19 goals in those nine games.

The difference in confidence, squad quality and recent performances is significant. Como have been creating chances consistently, while Venezia have struggled to produce positive results. Playing at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia gives the hosts another advantage.

Como have a few attacking absences, so this may not be an easy match, but their current momentum and Venezia’s poor defensive record make the home win an attractive selection.

Lyon have a strong opportunity to return to winning ways when they welcome Angers to Groupama Stadium. Paulo Fonseca’s side have made a solid start to the Ligue 1 campaign, collecting 14 points from their first eight matches and establishing themselves among the top five.

Their home performances have been particularly impressive. Lyon are unbeaten in four home league matches, recording three victories and one draw while scoring an average of 2.5 goals per game. Their attacking quality and ability to create chances should give them an advantage in this fixture.

Angers have struggled for consistency this season and currently sit 14th with eight points. Their away defensive record is a concern, having conceded an average of two goals per match on the road. Although they managed a 0-0 draw against Lorient in their previous league fixture, facing Lyon away from home represents a much tougher challenge.

The head-to-head record also favours Lyon. They have avoided defeat in their last seven Ligue 1 meetings with Angers and have won their last seven home league encounters against them. With home advantage and a stronger overall squad, Lyon look well positioned to secure all three points.
