Como vs AS Roma Preview
- Tournament: Serie A
- Date: Sunday, December 15
- Kick-off Time: 05:00 PM GMT
- Venue: Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia, Como.
AS Roma hail a good chance here to earn two back-to-back victories and cruise up the table when they face a 17th-placed Como 1907 next for their 16th Serie A 2024-25 game. Roma were off from a disastrous spell when they finally won against Lecce to end their losing streak. Como too have a lot at stake, as losing points here would push them to the relegation zone, which they are narrowly escaping for now.
Hosts Como 1907 have just 12 points from the 15 league games they played this season. They haven’t won any of their past five Italian top-tier games. However, they have earned three of their draws in the past five. A win will surely be in their minds seeing AS Roma’s form, but a draw wouldn’t be too bad for the long run either.
AS Roma are having a disappointing season in the domestic league for now. In 15 games, they have just four wins, four draws, and a big seven defeats. With just 16 points, they are in the 11th spot. If they don’t win regularly from now, chances of a slot in the European competitions will stand minimal.
Como Team News
Como 1907 have a number of injuries concerning them: left-back Alberto Moreno, their most versatile player Sergi Roberto, and CDM Maximo Perreno are all out of the game. This is bound to cause coach Cesc Fabregas tensions.
AS Roma Team News
AS Roma have only one injured player, it’s CDM Bryan Cristante. So, coach Claudio Ranieri will not be very thoughtful, given the available substitutes.

Key Players to Watch in Como vs AS Roma
Lucas Da Cunha (Como 1907)
The French midfielder cum winger has been tried in different positions from the very start. He initially played from the left wing and then switched to the right. He even played as a playmaker against Empoli. Now he is being used as a central midfielder. His versatility has been a big plus for the side, but his impact hasn’t been visible much.
If he manages to shock AS Roma in this game, he might actually get considered as a regular as he has been in the past five league games. However, he has scored only a goal in the league, so one in this one would be a wish of the coach Cesc and the fans.
Paulo Dybala (AS Roma)
Once regarded as one of the finest false-nine football has ever witnessed, Paulo Dybala never got his career going to the fullest potential. Dybala has the skills intact even at the age of 31, but his pace is being questioned, and so are his goal-scoring abilities.
He has appeared in only 12 league games, starting in only eight of them, he scored only two goals. Such poor stats don’t match Dybala’s potential. The player needs to give a final push and show the world what this Argentine playmaker still has.
Como vs AS Roma Prediction
The game is expected to be a closely fought, and intense one. However, a result is predicted to come, and it is being speculated that the AS Roma side would win this game by a slim margin, owing to their better squad, slightly better form, and higher morale from the last won game. Como 1907 will surely fight hard, playing from home, but chances of them standing long are low.
Predicted Score: Como 0-1 AS Roma
