AS Roma vs Como prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-03-01 17:00.
[p]Roma’s incredible resurgence under Claudio Ranieri has lifted them to within striking distance of the European places, with the capital club now unbeaten in ten Serie A matches (W7, D3). A 4-0 thumping of Monza was their third successive domestic victory without conceding, while it also stretched Roma’s unbeaten run at the Stadio Olimpico to six matches in the league (W5, D1).[/p]
[p]A whopping 19 goals scored in that time highlights their immense threat, with no side in the Italian top-flight accumulating as many points since the turn of the year (20). Roma are Serie A’s only unbeaten team in 2025 (W6, D2), but danger awaits in this meeting with Como as the Giallorossi have lost the last two league meetings and therefore could be doubled in the same season by a newly-promoted side for the first time since 1995/96 (Atalanta).[/p]
[p]Como will travel to the capital full of confidence after securing back-to-back Serie A victories over sides starting the round above Roma, most notably beating title challengers Napoli 2-1 last week. The Lariani, who boasted a comfortable seven-point margin to the relegation zone pre-round, now have the chance to win three successive top-flight games for the first time since 1952![/p]
[p]Their wait for consecutive away league wins in Serie A dates back even further to 1950, so they’ll remain underdogs here despite their purple patch. That’s not least because since winning their first trip to Roma in Serie A, Como have endured 11 successive away H2Hs without a victory (D4, L7), with each of the last three ending in defeat.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: No Roma player has directly contributed to more goals in 2025 than Alexis Saelemaekers (G3, A2) – three of his five goals this term have been match openers. Como’s Assane Diao is chasing a piece of history here as he could become just the third player in Serie A history to score in four successive matches before turning 20, following Alexandre Pato and Moise Kean.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: No team in Serie A has scored fewer away goals before half-time than Como (three).[/p]
