Como 1907 Team Overview
🔵 Como are having an exceptional season. Just a few years ago, they were competing in Italy's second division, and now they're vying for a spot in the Champions League. After 28 rounds, the Larians sit in fourth place with 51 points. Their recent form is equally impressive: three wins and two draws in their last five matches across all competitions.
⚪ Last weekend, Como secured a 2-1 away victory against Cagliari. However, it's worth noting that Cesc Fabregas' side didn't deliver their best football - managing only eight shots and an xG of 0.67. Even in losses, the Larians typically put on a more convincing display, but this time they didn't quite look themselves. Still, as the saying goes, points are points, and the team continues to steadily add to their tally.

Roma Team Overview
🔴 Roma, much like Como, have accumulated 51 points after 28 rounds. However, the recent performances from the Romans have been far less convincing. In their last five matches, the team has managed just one victory - a 3-0 home win against Cremonese, who have been struggling against almost everyone lately. Last weekend, the Giallorossi suffered a 2-1 away defeat to Genoa.
🟡 Recently, Roma played their first leg against Bologna in the Europa League Round of 16. The match was quite balanced and ended in a 1-1 draw. This result can be seen as acceptable, given that the return leg will be held in Rome. Nonetheless, the match took a significant toll on the team ahead of the next league fixture.

Latest news
Como 1907
📣 After the match against Cagliari (2-1), Como's head coach Cesc Fabregas stated: "It was a very tough game. We've just come through a challenging period with matches every four days and numerous injuries. We didn't anticipate such a season at the start, which is why winning is crucial. I really liked the way we won and the path we took to get there. We've faced a lot of criticism for how we play and our losses, but today we proved we're made of strong stuff, growing from match to match. The guys responded well, showing character and mentality. We're taking an important step forward. Everyone was exhausted after a long series of games, so this victory brings me the greatest satisfaction this season."
🚫 The hosts have few injuries to report. Assane Diao is doubtful as he recovers from a muscle injury. Jayden Addai will definitely not play; the young player is recovering from an Achilles tendon injury and is expected to return by mid-May.
Roma
📣 After the 1-1 draw against Bologna, Roma's head coach Gian Piero Gasperini remarked, "The result is fair; both sides were dangerous. It was a very physical match, and we adapted well, creating some chances. The intense atmosphere certainly played a part, and physically they were slightly stronger than us. Winning second balls is crucial these days. Under pressure, we often have to clear long, and it's on those second balls that many attacking opportunities arise. I think it's also a seasonal factor; with different weather, there might be more combination play. Overall, the game wasn't bad at all."
🚫 The visitors still have a full infirmary with plenty of absences. Matias Soule remains doubtful as he recovers from a muscle injury. Paulo Dybala is expected to return from a meniscus injury by the end of April. Artem Dovbyk should be back in action by early May following a muscle injury. Evan Ferguson is out for the rest of the season due to a hip injury. Additionally, Evan Ndicka will miss the match due to an accumulation of yellow cards.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
The Romans have been quite effective in front of goal, with Roma scoring in 13 of their last 14 matches. The only team to keep a clean sheet against them was Udinese, who won 1-0. Considering Como's recent struggles to maintain clean sheets, betting on a Roma goal appears to be a compelling option.
🚩 Corner Prediction
In the current Serie A campaign, Roma frequently approaches the corner flag, averaging 5.1 corners per match, ranking fifth in the league. It's also worth noting that Roma have taken more than 3.5 corners in 6 of their last 7 league games, so there's little reason to expect a deviation from this trend in the upcoming match.
Editorial Prediction
According to bookmakers, Como are the favorites in the upcoming clash, with the odds on a home victory steadily decreasing. This makes sense: the teams enter the match in completely different forms, and the "Larians" have been showcasing high-quality and consistent football this season. Additionally, Cesc Fabregas' squad holds two key advantages - home-field advantage and superior physical readiness. Roma played an energy-draining Europa League match against Bologna earlier this week, while Como have had the entire week to prepare for one of their most crucial games of the season. Therefore, a bet on Como to win with a handicap (0) seems like the most reasonable option. We expect to see a scoreline of 2-1 on the board.
