The last league instalment for Como produced a stunning 4-1 home win over Udinese.  Their share of possession in that meeting was 51%, while racking up 11 shots along the way, 8 of which were on target, in contrast to Udinese, who had 6 shots on goal with 2 on target.  

Cesc Fábregas will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 10 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 6 goals and, as a result, lost some important points.  They have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home games; however, they have scored in 9 of their 10 played at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia this season.  

On an individual basis, Nico Paz will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Como's last 6 league games.

The Atalanta players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their home fixture against Napoli recently, that ended in a 3-2 defeat.  In that game they had 57% possession and managed 15 attempts on goal, with 6 on target, compared to Napoli who had 6 attempts and 3 on target.  

Manager Gian Piero Gasperini will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 8 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 7 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way.   They've kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 6 away games, and they've scored in 19 of their 21 games overall this season.  

There will be mixed feelings from La Dea, having been undefeated in their last 8 away league games, but drawn the last 2 of these games.  

On an individual basis, Mateo Retegui will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 14 goals in Atalanta's 21 league games this season.
