Lazio vs Como: Serie A Match Preview, Odds & Prediction
Lazio and Como will meet face-to-face this week in Serie A. On Friday at 8:45 PM Nigerian time, the Stadio Olimpico in Rome will host the encounter between Cesc Fabregas's and Marco Baroni's squad.
Previous Matches and Head-to-head
The Lazio are a major Italian team that competes for the Scudetto every year and aspires to finish in the top four in Serie A. The way things are going for Le Aquile right now, they should improve significantly from their seventh-place result in Serie A last season.
As a result of their 35 points from 19 matches, Marco Baroni's squad is now in fourth place in Serie A. Inter Milan, who have played 17 games more, are in second position, five points behind them. Lazio still has a shot of winning the Scudetto this season despite being nine points behind Atalanta.
Fresh off a 2-0 loss to AS Roma in the Derby della Capitale, Lazio will take on Como in a Serie A encounter at Rome's Stadio Olimpico. It followed a 2-1 league away win against Lecce and a 1-1 home tie with Atalanta in Serie A.
Como is an understated Italian club that is currently performing beyond expectations. After finishing second place in Serie B last year, I Biancoblu was promoted to Serie A for the 2024–25 season. Many predict that Cesc Fabregas's team will drop to the second division in Italy, but things may work out well for them.
Currently, Fabregas's squad is 16th in Serie A. After 18 games, Como has accumulated 18 points. They will feel confident in their prospects of staying up since they are one point above the relegation zone and have teams like Cagliari, Lecce, Venezia, and Monza behind them in the league standings.
Having won their last match at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia by a score of 2-0, Como will take that momentum into their Serie A encounter against Lazio at Rome's Stadio Olimpico. It followed a 2-0 league victory against AS Roma in front of their home supporters and an away 2-0 defeat to Inter Milan at San Siro.
