Como vs Roma prediction: an evenly matched battle between top-four contenders
The sixth-round Serie A clash between Como and Roma will take place on October 11, 2026, at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia in Como. The hosts have collected 10 points from their first five matches and remain close to the leading pack, while Roma are still unbeaten and share first place with Inter and Lazio on 13 points.
Como: home form inspires confidence
Cesc Fabregas' side suffered a surprise 0-2 defeat to Frosinone before the international break, bringing their 10-match unbeaten run to an end. Before that, Como had looked highly convincing, beating Napoli 2-1, Genoa 4-1 and Parma 2-1, while also thrashing RB Leipzig 4-1 in European competition.
The team has been particularly strong at home, winning five of their last seven Serie A matches there. What is more, since earning promotion to the top flight in 2024, Como have hosted Roma twice and won on both occasions, giving the hosts an added confidence boost ahead of this latest showdown.
Roma: perfect away rhythm and a Scudetto challenge
Gian Piero Gasperini's side have lost none of their first five league matches and have collected 13 points. Before the break, Roma drew 2-2 with Inter despite leading 2-0 after a brace from Manu Kone, maintaining their place in the leading pack.
The Romans' away form is particularly impressive. Roma have won their last five Serie A away matches and could record six consecutive away victories for the first time since 2017. Doniell Malen has played an important role in attack, boasting the league's best minutes-per-goal ratio since making his debut in January.
Match facts and head-to-head record

Como vs Roma prediction: the rivals could once again fail to produce a winner
Both teams head into the match with serious ambitions and have already shown that they can compete for places near the top of the table. Como are particularly dangerous at home, while Roma are currently looking exceptionally confident on the road.
At the same time, both sides have plenty of quality in attack, while their defensive records remain among the best in Serie A over the long term. That makes a cautious, evenly balanced contest a highly logical scenario.
