While Genoa's season has been far from great since they're in the lower half of the standings, they have done well recently in the league and they don't have to think about avoiding relegation anymore. Four wins in their last six matches in Serie A prove that Genoa are on a good roll right now.
Also, while one could argue that they won't have a strong motivation or incentive to fight hard in their remaining matches due to their position, they won't feel any pressure either and that can make them pretty dangerous, as recent results indicate.
Como have the second-best goal different in the league this season, +29, with current league leaders Inter Milan being the only team ahead of them.
Genoa have also been much better since Daniele De Rossi took over from Patrick Vieira, particularly at home, where they won five of their last seven matches.
When it comes to team news, Genoa won't be able to call upon Brooke Norton-Cuffy, but the rest of the squad is healthy and ready to go.
Como enter this game in a poor mood since they failed to reach the Coppa Italia final after being eliminated by Inter Milan 3-2 on aggregate in the semis. This hurts even more when we consider the fact that Como had a two-goal advantage at one point in the second leg played in Milan, but then conceded three goals in 20 minutes.
So, counting all competitions, Como have now lost three games in a row and two of those losses came at the hands of Inter. They now sit in fifth place in the Serie A standings, five points behind Juventus and tied with Roma, their two main rival for fourth place and a spot in the Champions League.
Como have 15 clean sheets in Serie A this season, which is just one clean sheet behind Inter Milan, who have the most clean sheets.
Como's recent form doesn't instil a lot of confidence and their chances of taking over Juve are slim, but with five games left in the season, anything is possible. Even if Como can't finish fourth, getting into any European competition for next season is a great result for them, especially coupled with reaching the Coppa Italia semi-finals.
Sergi Roberto, Mergim Vojvoda, and Jayden Addai are on Como's injury list ahead of this game.

Whispers predicts: Genoa 1-1 Como
Based on their recent H2H history, but also their recent performances, we can expect to see goals on both sides in this game, so backing both teams to score at 20/21 sounds like a smart bet.
Meanwhile, despite Como being the better team this season, the hosts are in solid form and their home performances have been great lately, so we can see Genoa avoiding a loss, which is priced at even odds.
Finally, since we expect a close match, a half-time draw at 6/5 odds sounds tempting as well.
> Both teams to score - yes at 20/21 | Likelihood: Probable
> Half-time draw at 6/5 | Likelihood: Possible
> Double chance: Genoa or draw at 1/1 | Likelihood: Possible
> Correct score 1-1 at 13/2 | Likelihood: Outsider
