Roma aiming to break their Serie A slump at home.
Como struggling with defense but remain competitive.
Head-to-head: Both teams have recent home wins.

Roma vs Como

Roma are aiming to bounce back from a mini-slump when they host Como in a Monday night Italian Serie A fixture.

The capital club will be keen to find their spark on home soil and are likely to be fired up for this one. They should show their quality against the visitors, who have been unconvincing on their travels.

Roma News

Roma have lost their last two Serie A matches, falling 1-0 at home to Napoli before suffering a similar defeat at Cagliari. However, they bounced back in fine style in the Europa League, claiming a 3-0 victory at Celtic.

Having dropped to fourth in the Serie A table, four points off the pace, Roma will be keen to get things back on track. Gian Piero Gasperini's team have been victorious in three of their last four home matches and have also won at least one half in four of their last five fixtures at the Stadio Olimpico.

Roma will be keen to make a fast start and have scored first in three of their last four matches at the Stadio Olimpico. However, they are without a clean sheet in six of their last seven home fixtures.

Como News

Como are also coming off a defeat as they fell 4-0 at Inter Milan in their previous Serie A fixture. That was only the second league loss of the season for Cesc Fabregas' team, who remain in the mix for the European places.

The task for Como will be to bounce back quickly as they look to avoid slipping into a slump. They are unbeaten in five of their last six away matches, although only two of those fixtures have ended in wins.

The defeat to Inter Milan highlights a defensive vulnerability that can be exploited by some of the top teams. However, they often balance it out at the other end of the pitch and have scored in two of their last three matches.

Head to Head

Roma and Como have picked up wins each from four previous matches. Both teams won their home clash last season, with the visitors earning a 2-0 victory in the first meeting before the capital club triumphed 2-1 in the reverse fixture.

Verdict

Roma v Como

Roma will be keen to make their home games count, and having won at least one half in four of their last five fixtures at the Stadio Olimpico, a similar pattern could be on the cards. The hosts will be keen to settle quickly and should maintain their trend of scoring first.

Como and Roma have shown some defensive frailties lately, and they boast enough attacking quality to capitalize. Both teams could be backed to score in this one.
