Como vs Roma prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups – December 15, 2024
One of the matches in the 16th round of the Italian Championship will take place on Sunday at the Giuseppe Sinigaglia stadium, where Como will host Roma. I suggest a bet on the total number of goals in this match, with good chances of success.
Match preview
Serie A newcomer Como continues to fight for survival in the top flight, extending their winless streak to 9 matches (4 draws and 5 losses). In the most recent round, Como played an away match against Venezia, finishing in a 2-2 draw. It is important to note that Como has failed to keep a clean sheet since their return to the top division, conceding 28 goals so far this season.
In the standings, the team is close to the relegation zone, sitting in 17th place. They are only ahead of Verona on additional criteria. At home, the situation is also concerning: in 5 of their 6 home matches, the team has failed to secure a win, with 3 draws and 2 losses.
Roma ended a long winless run in Serie A by thrashing Lecce 4-1 in the last round. The three points allowed the capital club to rise from 15th to 11th place in the standings, but they are still far from the European spots, trailing by 11 points.
Despite the victory, Roma continues to concede goals in every match, and their run without a clean sheet in the league has now stretched to 5 games. Furthermore, the team has a negative goal difference this season, with 18 goals scored and 21 conceded. Notably, Roma has not had a draw in their last eight matches—2 wins and 6 losses. Away from home, the situation is even worse, with Roma failing to win in 10 consecutive matches, losing 5 of them.
Probable line-ups
- Como: Audero, Moreno, Kempf, Dossena, Van der Brempt, Perrone, Roberto, Strefezza, Martinez, Fadera, Cutrone
- Roma: Svilar, Mancini, Ndicka, Angelino, Zalewski, Cristante, Kone, Celik, Pellegrini, Dybala, Dovbik
