Como 1907 vs Roma: Match Prediction
This fixture could prove decisive for both sides in many ways. The battle for a Champions League place is in full swing, the opponents are level on points, and Juventus and Atalanta are also closing in. The match looks set to be tense and low-scoring, especially with two of the best defences in the league facing off. Their Serie A head-to-head meetings have not produced a goal fest either: no more than two goals were scored in two of the last three encounters.
Roma, moreover, will be coming into the match off the back of Europa League exertions, which could affect the team's condition, and they have not been impressive on the road anyway. The men of Gian Piero Gasperini have failed to win six of their previous eight away Serie A matches, so Roma could well be satisfied with a draw against strong opposition. The club are unlikely to force the issue.
Como 1907 will find it difficult to break down a packed defence. And in front of their own fans, Cesc Fabregas' men have rarely been prolific: the team have not scored more than one goal in five of their last seven Serie A matches. However, defensively at home the club are among the best – seven clean sheets and only 10 conceded.
Prediction: Under 2.5 goals
