Style clash on the cards in Como
Match context
Calcio Como sit in 8th in Serie A 2026/2027 with ten points from their first five matches, while the league leaders AS Roma have 13 points in the same number of games, so there's plenty to play for when these two sides meet in Italy this weekend.
Tactical outlook
Como have won their last 2 home games, so there's clearly some bite about Cesc Fabregas' possession-first side who have turned their compact buildup play into vertical attacks and aggressive re-presses in their 2-1 win over AC Parma and 4-1 success against RB Leipzig in the UEFA Champions League League Stage.
Roma are a very different beast to the hosts as Gian Piero Gasperini has his side pressing high and overloading the wings with wing backs and forwards rotating positions almost constantly. It's been a successful formula so far in Serie A 2026/2027 as the Giallorossi have 13 points from five fixtures, though there's no doubt this will be a test of their character.
Roma to squeeze out victory in high-scoring encounter
Roma's 2.55 odds for this match are fair enough considering their league-leading form but the hosts have a good home record in this matchup (W1, D0, L0) and this should be a close match, so we're taking Roma to edge it at the same odds.
- Como's form is excellent across the board with four wins and one defeat across their last five in all competitions, so the home turf certainly seems to be to Fabregas' favour.
- Roma have the most goals in Serie A 2026/2027 with 15 but Como have scored 11 in their past four matches, so over 2.5 goals at 1.7 looks like a smart play in this clash of contrasting styles.
- Anastasios Douvikas has been the most reliable goal scorer for the Lariani with two goals in five Serie A 2026/2027 appearances, but Donyell Malen looks to have the sharpest edge for Roma with six in five after a slow start to the season.
