Curiosity. Colombo chasing the record. The Larians always KO without Paz

Como and Empoli both have fewer points than indicated by the model Expected Points: the Larians should in fact have 40,9 instead of 29 and the Azzurri 27,9 instead of the 22 actually achieved.

Speaking a bit about individuals, however, it is striking how Fabregas' team lost both matches played without Nico Paz, suspended today, with the average of goals scored dropped to 0,5 per match compared to 1,3 with the talented young Argentine on the pitch.

Should he find the goal he has been missing for 696 minutes, the Italian striker Lawrence Colombo would set his new season scoring record in Serie A. And yet in the last three Serie A seasons only Matías Soulé, now at Roma, with 15 has scored more goals than the Empoli striker (14), among players born from 2002 onwards.

In the current one, however, only Roberto Piccoli of Cagliari (376) and Nikola Krstovic of Lecce (350) have engaged in more duels than Colombo (347).

Finally, a curiosity that concerns Luca Marianucci: only Pietro Comuzzo (25, born in 2005) is younger than the 2004-born Azzurri defender, among the Italian defenders with at least the same number of matches played.
