Como vs AS Roma Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds
Gli Azzurri will take on Giallorossi on matchday 16 of Serie A.
Mid-placed AS Roma visit Como, who are currently struggling to put some distance between themselves and the relegation zone. The last two matches were back-to-back draws for Como who are the newly promoted side this season. They have been quite inconsistent in Serie A and Cesc Fabregas has a lot of work to do to help the team stay away from the relegation zone.
The upcoming fixtures are tough and they have to get some positive results from every match to stay away from the danger zone. They will take on Roma for the first time and surely they will try their fans to make happy after the match.
In their last three matches, Roma lost 2-0 to Atalanta, beat Lecce by 4-1 and won 3-0 against Braga. Roma’s away game record this season has not been really good. They will look to change that when they take on Como.
After a thumping win over Braga at home they will be confident to get points against Como who are a much weaker side as compared to them. But still, Como are capable of challenging Roma and surely this will be an exciting clash.
