Lazio vs Como Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Both teams are having a contrasting league season.

The first clash of Matchweek 20 of the Serie A will take us to Rome where Lazio will welcome Como in their latest clash. The hosts have been one of the most impressive sides in the Italian top flight this season and currently sit in the fourth position with 35 points under their belt. They come into this game on the back of defeat to arch-rivals Roma and will be keen to bounce back to winning ways. Lazio have already defeated Como once this season and will want to complete the league double come Saturday.

Como on the other hand are nearing the relegation zone and must do something to revive their campaign. They are bound to put up a strong fight for survival having lost eight of their 18 games. The Voltaics have leaked a lot of goals this season, including five against Lazio. But will need to be on their toes and not allow the Eagles with many opportunities to have a go at them. They are fresh off a 2-0 victory against Lecce and will hope to continue with the same momentum.
