Como 1907 vs AS Roma

Two teams locked on 51 points meet at Stadio Sinigaglia in a match that could define both clubs' Champions League ambitions. Gameweek 29 doesn't get much bigger than this in the race for the top four. Como are in superb form, riding a three-game winning streak in Serie A and unbeaten in five. Nico Paz and Tasos Douvikas are both one goal shy of double figures and will fancy their chances against a depleted visiting defence. Roma travel without Paulo Dybala, Artem Dovbyk, Evan Ferguson, and Matias Soulé through injury, while Evan Ndicka serves a suspension. February's Serie A Player of the Month Donyell Malen will shoulder the attacking burden almost alone. Manu Koné returns to bolster midfield, but Gasperini's options are painfully thin. Como's home pedigree and Roma's wretched away form — six losses in their last ten on the road — point one way here. Our prediction: 2-1 to the hosts.
