Match Prediction: Roma vs. Como
The support of their fans often helps the Romans achieve maximum results, and recently, the club has been performing well at home. In their last six home league matches, Roma has secured five wins and drew with Napoli, who were leading the standings at the time. Additionally, in three instances during this period, the team achieved big wins.
Como has been in good form, but most of Cesc Fabregas's side's successes have come in home matches: in the current Serie A season, Como has earned 18 points at home and only ten away. The team has already suffered seven away defeats in the current championship, and in six of those lost matches, the players failed to score.
Considering all pre-match factors, I prefer the hosts in this encounter. My prediction: Roma to Win
* The starting lineup for each team is based on their last match in this tournament.
