Arsenal is preparing to close the pre-season period with many worries. They lost 2 and won 1 in 3 official friendly matches this summer. In the most recent match, Mikel Arteta's team was defeated by Dortmund with a score of 3-2.
One of the most worrying issues lies in the attack. Viktor Gyokeres scored from the penalty spot against Dortmund but had difficulty coordinating with his teammates. This shows that Arsenal still needs more time to find the most effective way to operate with the Swedish striker.
The Emirates Stadium is no longer Arsenal's mainstay. The London team once won 4 consecutive home matches before losing to Dortmund. However, before that, they only won 4 in the last 7 matches at the Emirates, besides 2 defeats and 1 draw.
Their scoring ability is also not really stable. The "Gunners" only scored a maximum of 1 goal in 4 out of 7 matches mentioned above. The positive point is that they kept a clean sheet in 5 matches, showing that the defense still maintains its solidity.
Therefore, the unstable performance against Dortmund may just be a distortion in the preparation process.
The match against Como also has special meaning when Cesc Fabregas returns to Emirates. The former Arsenal midfielder has been attached to the London team for 8 years.
Meanwhile, Como entered the match with an admirable record. The Italian team finished Serie A last season in fourth place and won the right to participate in the Champions League.
