The starting lineup for each team in their previous match in this tournament is listed.

Como

The newcomer to this season extended their winless streak in Serie A to nine matches (4 draws, 5 losses) after drawing 2-2 with Venezia in the last round. Notably, Como has failed to keep a clean sheet since returning to the top tier of Italian football, conceding a total of 28 goals in the current championship. In the Serie A standings, the team is on the brink of the relegation zone, sitting in 17th place.

• Both teams scored in 9 of Como's last 12 Serie A matches.
• At home, the club failed to win 5 out of 6 matches in the current Serie A season (3 draws, 2 losses).
• No more than 2 goals were scored in 6 of the team's last 8 matches in this tournament.

Roma

The Romans ended a four-match losing streak in the league by thrashing Lecce 4-1 in their previous encounter. The three points helped the capital club improve their league position, rising from 15th to 11th in Serie A, although they are still 11 points away from the European competition spots. Additionally, Roma has not managed to end their streak of conceding goals in the league, which has now reached five matches. The team also has a negative goal difference in the current Serie A season – 18:21.

• Roma's uncompromising streak in the league stands at 8 matches (2 wins, 6 losses).
• Roma has not won away in 10 Serie A matches, suffering 5 losses.
• The club has not scored more than 1 goal in 8 of their last 9 away matches in the Italian top flight.

Como vs. Roma: Match Prediction

The hosts have drawn their last two Serie A matches against some of their main rivals in the battle for survival – Venezia and Monza. Meanwhile, the Romans finally managed to break their prolonged losing streak in the league. However, it is too early to talk about Roma being out of crisis. I believe the hosts can take points from the inconsistent visitors. Moreover, Roma has a Europa League match against strong Braga on Thursday, which will take a lot of effort.

Como, who have not lost in 4 of their 6 home matches in the current Italian championship, could take advantage of this. The capital team, on the other hand, has not won away in the current Serie A season. Furthermore, Roma's winless away streak in the Italian top flight is 10 matches.

I believe the hosts can take points from the tired opponent, who also performs poorly away. My prediction – Como win or draw
