Match Preview:
In an intriguing Serie A matchup, AS Roma will host Como at the Stadio Olimpico. Roma, under the guidance of José Mourinho, has been solid but inconsistent this season. The Giallorossi will look to bounce back after a tough run of fixtures, and they will see this match against Como as a perfect opportunity to secure three points and push for a spot in the top four.
Como, on the other hand, has struggled to keep up with the pace of Serie A, finding themselves fighting near the relegation zone. Como’s form has been patchy, and they’ll be up against a tough opponent in Roma, making this a challenging match for the visitors.
While Roma boasts attacking talents like Paulo Dybala and Tammy Abraham, Como will need to put in a heroic performance to take anything away from this fixture. Roma’s superior squad quality, combined with their solid home form, gives them a clear edge heading into this game.
Key Factors to Consider:
-
Roma’s Strong Home Advantage:
Roma has been strong at Stadio Olimpico this season, with their high pressing and attacking quality making them a tough team to beat at home. Como will need to be at their best to avoid a heavy defeat. -
Como’s Struggles on the Road:
Como has been inconsistent on the road and has had trouble coping with stronger opposition. Their defensive vulnerabilities will likely be exposed against Roma’s attacking threats, and their lack of attacking potency could make it difficult for them to get on the score sheet. -
Head-to-Head Record:
Historically, Roma has had the upper hand against Como, especially at home. Roma will be looking to continue their dominance in this matchup, and with their superior squad, they should be able to handle Como with relative ease. -
Recent Form:

Prediction:
AS Roma 3-0 Como
We predict a 3-0 win for Roma. Roma’s superior attacking strength, combined with their solid home form, should result in a comfortable victory.
