Preview
On Saturday, September 14, the Giuseppe Sinigaglia stadium in Como will host the 4th round match of Serie A between the local team Como and Bologna. Both teams have had a poor start to the season and will be looking for their first win in the current championship.
Como, led by Cesc Fabregas, has only one point after three rounds. The team suffered losses to Juventus and Udinese, and also drew with Cagliari. The defeat to Udinese was especially disappointing, when in the last seconds Como had a chance to equalize from a penalty, but Patrick Cutrone missed, sending the ball past the goal. This miss caused a wave of negativity on social networks towards Cutrone, which resulted in threats to his family, but the footballer steadfastly accepted the criticism. Head coach Fabregas believes that his team is showing quality football and that results will definitely come if they continue in the same spirit.
Bologna, under the leadership of Vincenzo Italiano, also did not start the season in the best way. The team lost to Napoli away and drew twice at home - with Udinese and Empoli. Despite the difficult start, the club's management remains calm and is confident that the players will gradually adapt to Italiano's new tactical guidelines. The support of the club's president Joey Saputo and the recognition of his merits in the form of the title of honorary citizen of the city of Bologna underline the stability of the management and the belief in the team's progress.
Both teams are looking for their first win of the season, which makes this match important for both Como and Bologna.
