Como
Como made their return to the Serie A two decades after their last season in Italy’s top flight. During the transfer summer, the club made headlines by signing a great number of veteran players, such as Raphael Varane, Alberto Moreno, Cesc Fabregas, Sergi Roberto, Pepe Reina, and Andrea Belotti.
As Cesc Fabregas became the new manager, this strategy seems to have paid off, and Como can be proud of the results. They are currently ranking 13th in Serie A, having won twice, drawn three times, and lost four matches. The two victories came against Atalanta (3-2) and Hellas Verona (3-2), and they were able to keep Bologna at a 2-2 draw. However, they lost against Torino, Napoli, Udinese, and Juventus.

Under the ownership of the Harthono brothers, Como is seeing a resurgence. Significant investment is being made to establish the club’s long-term presence in Serie A. In their first season back on the highest level, a mid-table finish looks likely.
Belgian defender Ignace Van Der Brempt and Spanish midfielder Sergi Roberto, who are both injured, won’t be available for the match against Lazio.
Lazio
Lazio are currently sixth in the Serie A with mixed results so far. They have played nine games, which resulted in five wins, three losses and one draw.
Biancocelesti lost against Juventus, Udinese, and Fiorentina but won all their Europa League games. However, the draw against Milan (2-2) was their only positive result against a top team in Italy this season.
Ciro Immobile’s departure to Turkish club Besiktas has left a noticeable gap in Lazio’s attacking lineup and the club is still adjusting to life without its former star forward.

Marco Baroni was appointed as the new head coach last summer, and the management has provided him with some young transfers. Valentín Castellanos was signed to replace Immobile. Although he has acknowledged struggling with the consistent mental pressure, he has managed to score three goals and deliver three assists.

Lazio might have struggled against higher-rated opposition but have fared well against opposition from the lower end of the table. Despite playing away from home, Lazio are expected to win.
The match against Como is the perfect opportunity to maintain momentum and potentially even rotate the squad. With Lazio’s congested schedule, this game gives Baroni the chance to give playing time to younger squad members who haven’t featured heavily so far.
One of the players who impressed during the current season is Lazio’s leader in the defence, Alessio Romagnoli. He is also seen as a unifying figure in the dressing room by the fans. With Lazio currently in sixth place and needing a boost in confidence, Romagnoli’s leadership is crucial.
Como vs Lazio Betting Tip
- Pick: Castellanos to score
- Odds: 3.5 (22Bet)
This is one of the few opportunities where Castellanos might be given the space to shine after facing challenging weeks where he openly acknowledged the mental pressure he’s felt.
Lazio has been somewhat sloppy at the back in recent weeks, which indicates that this is the ideal match to rotate players, reinforce team bonds, and build confidence.
