Arsenal vs ComoPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Arsenal close their preparation at the Emirates against Como, on a night that counts mainly as a dress rehearsal. The hosts score little at home Fifteen recent home games with 1.55 goals scored and 0.89 conceded, both teams scoring in only 32% of them and clean sheets in 62%. Their latest outings include three 1-0 wins and a couple of heavier defeats to Borussia Dortmund and Real Betis. Como arrive with livelier numbers Fifteen away trips with 1.92 goals scored and 0.94 conceded, over 1.5 landing in 86% of them and the net found in all but one. In Serie A they finished on two points a game. The verdict: two goals across the game are what is required. Como away games clear that line almost nine times out of ten, and this fixture pits two sides who rotated heavily in pre-season, which tends to leave defences less settled than usual. My take: an enjoyable game with a goal at each end, though late-August rotation makes every reading provisional. We are around 76%.
