AS Roma vs Como prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-12-14 19:45.
[p]Just three points separate top-four aspirants Roma and Serie Aâs biggest surprise package Como, who are amongst those in European contention in just their second season back in the top flight.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]After winning four consecutive league games, Roma have disappointingly slipped to back-to-back 1-0 reversals at the hands of Napoli and Cagliari to leave them clinging on to fourth ahead of the round. They bounced back with a routine 3-0 victory over Celtic in midweek UEFA Europa League action, and with over twice as many points as theyâd achieved at this stage of last season, and more than each of the last four campaigns, there is still plenty to be positive about for Roma. They appear well placed to follow up Thursdayâs victory here, having won four of their five Serie A games this term immediately following Thursday night European action (L1). [/p]
[p]Also sitting on over twice as many points as this time last year, Como will make the trip south to Rome just three points behind their hosts. The Serie A surprise package will have been rocked by the abrupt ending of their 11-game unbeaten league run in the previous round with a comprehensive 4-0 defeat at Inter (W5, D6). Another test against a title hopeful awaits Cesc FĂ bregasâ men, and these are the kind of games they’ve struggled most in this term, failing to score a single goal when facing sides sitting above them pre-round (D1, L2), with all three of those games also coming away from home. [/p]

[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
