Preview: Lazio vs Como Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Serie A 2025-26

The Eagles will take on the Blue and Whites on matchday 21 of Serie A.

The team from Roma will take on Cesc Fabregas’s Como as both teams will be aiming to get three points from this fixture. Maurizio Sarri’s Lazio have been poor this season, as they have failed to get wins and have dropped points consistently. They did win their last fixture against Verona, but that win wasn’t a very convincing victory at all.

Lazio recently sold Matteo Guendouzi and Valentin in the January transfer window; this decision has brought in some criticism from fans. Overall, they aren’t looking very confident as of now, and facing Como will be a tough task for sure. In 20 matches, they have won seven, drawn seven and lost six matches, with 28 points on the table, they sit in the ninth spot.

Como, without a doubt play the best football in Serie A, and fans are always excited to see them play. They suffered a defeat to Italian giants AC Milan in the last game at home, and will be determined to bounce back. Como are aiming to get a UEFA Champions League spot and are giving tough competition to other teams.

In 20 matches, they have won nine, drawn seven and lost four games; with 34 points, they sit in sixth place. Fabregas won’t be happy with their current place in the table, and will surely push his boys to get better results in the upcoming fixtures. This will be a mouthwatering clash for sure.

Players to Watch

Kenneth Taylor (Lazio)

Taylor is an academy product of Ajax, and now he is shining in Lazio. He can adapt to any position and plays in the midfield. The Dutchman is very comfortable on the ball and does the offensive and defensive tasks very well.

He can orchestrate the build-up play from the back by himself, as he has great vision and top-notch passing accuracy to break the lines. He can make interceptions in the midfield. Taylor is able to start the counterattack immediately.

However, this season, he has only played one match so far.

Jesus Rodriguez (Como)

The first thing to notice about Rodriguez is his pace. His pace is very explosive. He is a powerful sprinter, just like a professional runner.

Due to his tall frame, he can cover a lot of space and is capable of beating defenders with his dribbling and pace. Rodriguez attacks the opponent’s box with the intention of scoring a goal by himself. He has developed a lot in recent years and has shown his quality on the pitch consistently.

In 17 matches so far, he has yet to score a goal but has provided six assists.
