# Liverpool vs Como > Club Friendlies 1 · Kickoff Tue 16 Jun 2026, 17:00 UTC · [Canonical HTML](https://betsprinter.com/fixtures/37225) **Status:** Scheduled ## Pre-match deep dive ### High-intensity tune-up exposes mid-summer form questions ## The stage This mid-June friendly is scheduled to kick off on Tue 16 Jun 2026 at 17:00 UTC, part of the Club Friendlies 1 slate.[^fact-1] ## Form & momentum Recent numbers paint a contrast that complicates simple narratives. Liverpool have compiled a DLDLW sequence across their last 10 games, registering a 3-3-4 record, an average of 1.20 points per game, scoring 1.50 goals and conceding 1.80 per match in that span.[^fact-2] Como arrive in noticeably hotter form: WWWDW across their most recent 10, a 5-2-3 record, averaging 1.70 points per game while scoring 1.90 and conceding 1.00 per match.[^fact-3] Those raw profiles suggest Liverpool carry slightly more volatility — a lower points return and a higher goals-against rate — while Como combine a better points return with a markedly superior defensive number in this sample.[^fact-2][^fact-3] ## Personnel Liverpool’s most eye-catching recent contributor is Dominik Szoboszlai, who has produced 1 goal and 3 assists in his last five appearances, with an average rating of 7.50 across those games.[^fact-4] His activity will matter to Liverpool’s attacking tempo and chance construction.[^fact-4] For Como, Lucas Da Cunha stands out: 2 goals and 1 assist in his last five outings, carrying an average rating of 7.58 over that period.[^fact-5] His involvement has been a measurable source of offensive output for Como.[^fact-5] Both sides are also dealing with notable absences. Liverpool are missing Florian Wirtz through injury; Wirtz accumulated 595 minutes in the recent run prior to that absence.[^fact-6] Como will be without Máximo Perrone, who logged 780 minutes in the recent run before his injury absence.[^fact-7] Those minutes totals quantify the scale of the loss: Wirtz represented almost 600 minutes of game time in Liverpool’s recent window, and Perrone nearly 800 minutes for Como, implying both sides will need rotation to cover those roles.[^fact-6][^fact-7] ## Where the model sees value The model flags several structural edges without relying on market odds provided here. First, the underlying samples suggest a contest where Liverpool have produced fewer points and a slightly worse defensive return in their last 10 games, while Como have been both more productive and more resilient across the same window; that relative form differential is the primary signal for selection bias toward Como in the pre-season context.[^fact-2][^fact-3] Second, individual player contributions are concentrated and recent. Dominik Szoboszlai’s direct involvement in four goal actions across five matches makes him a logical focal point for Liverpool’s chance creation and set-piece impact, and the model marks any market that isolates his goal contributions as one to monitor for value, given the small-sample productivity reflected in his 1 goal and 3 assists with a 7.50 average rating.[^fact-4] Similarly, Lucas Da Cunha’s 2 goals and 1 assist with a 7.58 average rating in five games flags him as Como’s most in-form attacking outlet; the model elevates player lines tied to his scoring influence because his recent output is concentrated and consistent in the supplied sample.[^fact-5] Finally, absences materially reshape projected rotations. The loss of Florian Wirtz after 595 minutes in the recent run changes Liverpool’s midfield composition and is incorporated into the model’s expectation for creative sources outside the sidelined player.[^fact-6] Máximo Perrone’s absence after 780 minutes for Como similarly forces a tactical reshuffle on the opposition; the model trims exposure to lines that assume both players feature.[^fact-7] Because no external market odds are supplied in the facts available, the model’s edges are framed qualitatively: favor the side demonstrating better recent points and defensive stability in the supplied window, and monitor player lines for Szoboszlai and Da Cunha given their concentrated attacking returns.[^fact-2][^fact-3][^fact-4][^fact-5] ## Verdict On the numbers in the supplied sample, Como arrives with stronger recent momentum — higher points per game and a cleaner defensive record — while Liverpool’s creative workload pivots toward Szoboszlai in the absence of Wirtz; the model therefore leans to Como’s form and to player-market focus on Szoboszlai and Da Cunha as the cleanest informational edges from the provided data.[^fact-3][^fact-4][^fact-5][^fact-6][^fact-7] ### Cited facts [^fact-1]: **Kickoff** — Tue 16 Jun 2026, 17:00 UTC — Club Friendlies 1 [^fact-2]: **LIV recent form** — DLDLW last 10: 3-3-4 (W-D-L), 1.20 PPG, 1.50 goals scored / 1.80 conceded per match.
