Prediction: Lazio to win 2-0
Best Odds: 67/10
Lazio and Como will lock horns with each other in Serie A this week. The match between Marco Baroni’s team and Cesc Fabregas’s side will be held at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome and is scheduled to kick off at 7:45pm UK time on Friday.
Lazio
Lazio are one of the biggest clubs in Italy who always aim to finish in the top four of the Serie A table or challenge for the Scudetto. Le Aquile finished seventh in the Serie A table last season and are very likely to do much better this time around, given how things are going for them at the moment.
Marco Baroni’s side are as high as fourth in the Serie A table with 35 points from 19 matches. They are five points behind second-placed Inter Milan, who have played 17 games. Lazio are nine points behind leaders Atalanta and could still win the Scudetto this season.
Lazio will head into the Serie A match against Como at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome on the back of a 2-0 defeat to AS Roma in the Derby della Capitale. It came after a 1-1 draw with Atalanta at home in Serie A which followed a 2-1 victory over Lecce on the road in the league.
Team News:
Lazio are likely to line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation against Como. Ivan Provedel will be in goal for the home team and will have Adam Marusic, Mario Gila, Alessio Romagnoli and Nuno Tavares in front of him in defence. Matteo Guendouzi and Nicolo Rovella will be the two holding midfielders. Gustav Isaksen, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru and Mattia Zaccagni will be the three attacking midfielders. Boulaye Dia will lead the line for Lazio.
Como
Como are a modest club in Italy who are doing better than expected at the moment. I Biancoblu finished second in the Serie B table last season and earned promotion to the Serie A for the 2024-25 campaign. Cesc Fabregas’s side are expected by many to go down to the second tier of Italian football, but things could trun out all good for them.
Fabregas’s team are 16th in the Serie A table at the moment. Como have picked up 18 points from 18 matches. They are a point above the relegation zone, and with the likes of Cagliari, Lecce, Venezia and Monza below them in the league table, they will fancy their chances of staying up.
Como will head into the Serie A match against Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome on the back of a 2-0 victory over Lecce at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia. It came after a 2-0 loss at the hands of Inter Milan away from home at San Siro in Serie A which followed a 2-0 win against AS Roma in front of their fans in the league.
Team News:
Como are likely to line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation against Lazio. Pepe Reina will be in goal and will have Ignace van der Brempt, Edoardo Goldaniga, Marc-Oliver Kempf and Alberto Moreno in front of him in defence. Yannick Engelhardt and Lucas Da Cunha will be the two holding midfielders. Yannick Engelhardt, Nico Paz and Alieu Fadera will be deployed in attacking midfield.
