Genoa’s difficult start continued with a 1-0 defeat away to Lazio, extending their winless league run to seven matches.
Having suffered defeats in both of their games this season, Daniele De Rossi will hope to get his team back on their feet and avoid a third loss in a row.
Home advantage at Stadio Luigi Ferraris may not offer much relief, with Genoa losing four of their last five league games on home soil and winning just one.
Como were among the teams to beat them during that run, securing a 2-0 victory here in late April.
Another defeat this weekend will see them drop further down the table into the relegation zone, which De Rossi will be hoping to avoid.
Como, meanwhile, claimed their first win of the season last weekend after edging Napoli 2-1 in a match where all three goals came before half-time.
Another positive result would see the Lariani remain unbeaten through their opening three Serie A matches for just the fifth time in the club’s history.
Heading into this clash, Como will take confidence from their previous meetings, having avoided a defeat against Genoa in their last six encounters.
They have also maintained a decent run at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris, winning two and drawing two of their last four encounters across all competitions.
