3 Minute ReadArsenal vs. Como Prediction: How Many Goals Will Arsenal Try to Score in Final Club Friendly on Wednesday Afternoon?
Arsenal hosts Como on Wednesday with the Gunners priced at -220 on the moneyline, Como at +450 and the draw at +380. This is Arsenal’s final preseason match before competitive action begins, while Como continues preparing for a historic Champions League campaign.
Arsenal opened its public preseason schedule with an impressive 4-1 victory over Girona, but the results have slipped since. Mikel Arteta’s team lost 3-1 to Real Betis before falling 3-2 to Borussia Dortmund at the Emirates, conceding six goals across those two defeats.

Arsenal vs. Como Prediction
The Dortmund match was another open contest, with Arsenal responding after falling behind but never completely settling defensively. That should make control a priority against Como, particularly with the preseason experimentation stage nearly finished and Arsenal needing to sharpen its structure before the games begin to matter.
Como has shown plenty of attacking ability during its own preparations. Cesc Fabregas’ side beat AlUla 3-1, drew Villarreal 1-1 in the abbreviated Como Cup format and then defeated Famalicao 3-2 over 90 minutes. The Italians finished fourth in Serie A last season and are preparing for their first Champions League campaign.
This will be the first meeting between Arsenal and Como, which adds some uncertainty to the matchup. Como is comfortable keeping possession and should be capable of preventing Arsenal from turning the match into constant transition, while the Gunners have a clear incentive to produce a cleaner defensive performance after consecutive losses.
Arsenal’s last two games have produced four and five total goals, but the 3.5 line provides meaningful protection if the intensity drops in the final preseason tune-up. A controlled Arsenal win or competitive Como performance can both stay below this number, with 2-0, 2-1 and 1-1 all fitting the expected game state.

The final friendly should be more about organization and readiness than chasing goals. Arsenal needs to tighten defensively after allowing three goals in consecutive games, while Como has enough quality on the ball to slow the tempo and keep this from becoming another end-to-end shootout.
