Comments and predictions for Como vs Empoli: The home team's fatal blow

Latest Como vs Empoli team information

Como's Argentinian Nico Paz will miss the game through suspension after picking up a late yellow card in the defeat to AC Milan, but having returned from South America at the weekend, this might not be such a bad time for the young talent to get some rest.

Dele Alli had a debut to forget when he was sent off against Milan – his first appearance in nearly two years. He and Nico Paz will miss the next game through suspension.

To make matters worse, Alberto Dossena was forced off just 15 minutes after coming on as a substitute with a serious knee injury that will almost certainly keep him out for the rest of the season, while Ivan Azon – a January signing from Real Zaragoza – is yet to make his debut for the club.

For Empoli, Alberto Grassi will be absent after undergoing surgery on a broken arm last week, joining the visitors' already lengthy injury list.

Youssef Maleh, Pietro Pellegri, Saba Sazonov, Mattia Viti, Nicolas Haas and Szymon Zurkowski are all out with knee injuries, while Jacopo Fazzini and Tino Anjorin are recovering from hamstring injuries.

Liberato Cacace also needs to be tested after returning from training with New Zealand, who have just qualified for the World Cup. He played in both matches and had to endure a long, tiring flight back to Europe.

Latest football review Como vs Empoli

Despite a bit of a slump in recent weeks, Como's relegation fears are gradually easing with each round, despite suffering a narrow defeat to AC Milan before the international break.

Fabregas’s side lost 2-1 to the Rossoneri on a short trip to the San Siro, just a week after dropping points at home to Venezia. However, Como remain 13th and seven points clear of the relegation zone – a safe distance.

The fixtures are also in Como's favour, with eight of their remaining nine games this season coming against opponents in the bottom half of the table, with the exception of their final home game of the season against Inter Milan.

While that doesn't necessarily translate into points, the Biancoblu have performed well against strong opponents in 2025, notably with wins over Napoli and Fiorentina.

In their last eight games at the Sinigaglia, Como have picked up 13 points – sixth in Serie A over that period – and only Bologna and Roma have scored more goals than them.

With heavy investment over the past year, it is no surprise that Fabregas’s side have flourished in attack, scoring in six consecutive Serie A games – the first time they have done so since 1951.

However, the lack of balance in their play has also cost them, especially when they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last six home games. This is part of the reason why Como have not been able to completely escape relegation worries.

As for the visitors, Empoli also have a few positives ahead of this match – most notably their win over Como in the first leg, which remains their only home win in Serie A this season.

However, the risk of having to return to Serie B after nearly half a decade playing in Italy's top flight is looming for the Tuscany team, following a 14-match winless streak in Serie A.

Only Reims are on a worse run in Europe's top five leagues. To make matters worse, Roberto D'Aversa's side have failed to hold on to a draw, with 11 of their 14 games ending in defeat.

After picking up 19 points from their first 15 games, many Empoli fans had hoped the team would climb into the top half of the table. But since the start of the new year, everything has completely fallen apart.

Empoli are now three points below the relegation zone – just a year after escaping the relegation zone by a single point. Their 23 goals in attack this season suggest they are not good enough to save themselves from relegation.

However, their away form has been a rare bright spot, with three of their four wins this season coming away from home. They also beat Juventus in Turin in the Coppa Italia at the end of February, setting up a semi-final against Bologna with the first leg taking place in midweek.
