Serie A line-ups and Live Updates: Genoa vs. Como
Genoa should give Mario Balotelli more playing time this evening, but Andrea Pinamonti leads the attack against Nico Paz and Patrick Cutrone’s Como.
It kicks off at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris, also known as Marassi, at 19.45 GMT.
You can check the live updates below.
This fixture opens the Serie A Week 12 round and is moved forward to Thursday evening because there is a famous car rally in the streets of Genoa tomorrow night.
The Grifone are fresh from a badly-needed 1-0 victory away to Parma, which also saw Balotelli make his debut after joining as a free agent.
Super Mario is on the bench again today, but Vitinha, Junior Messias, Ruslan Malinovskyi, Pierluigi Gollini, David Ankeye and Brooke Norton-Cuffy are injured.
Como have hit real problems recently, losing four of their last five Serie A games under coach Cesc Fabregas.
They too have a lengthy absentee list including Sergi Roberto, Maxi Perrone, Luca Mazzitelli, Ignace van der Brempt, Alessandro Gabrielloni, Daniele Baselli and Luca Mazzitelli.
