Como’s race towards direct promotion also starts this evening, with the advance match being played in Venice between the Neroverdi and Cremonese. A challenge that has been looked at for some time when weighing the difficulties of the calendar between the rivals for second place, and which now actually becomes an even more crucial event, especially for Vanoli’s team even more than for Cremonese.
The grey-reds cannot make any missteps, but even if they win they would still remain in fourth place, now cut off from the race for second position. The neroverdi, on the other hand, still have the possibility of putting pressure on Como, as well as keeping at least third place safe, a position that would see them as favorites in the playoffs.
For Como the best result would be a draw, but also a victory for Cremonese, who would still remain sufficiently distant. And with one of these two results the opportunity could be created as early as tomorrow to have the opportunity to obtain mathematical promotion on May 1st at home with Cittadella.
A circumstance that will certainly not occur, regardless of the result in Genoa, if Venezia wins tonight, because in any case, even if Como were to emerge victorious from Marassi, the advantage would remain three points. And even if we reached more than six on Wednesday, with two days available it wouldn’t be enough. It should be remembered that to obtain second place, in fact, Como must finish ahead of Venezia due to the disadvantage in head-to-head matches.
