Como 1907 vs AS Roma

Como host league leaders AS Roma at the Stadio Sinigaglia on October 11, with early-season bragging rights at stake. Roma top Serie A on 13 points after five rounds, while Como sit a respectable eighth on 10 — a chance for Roma to extend their dominance, or for Como to make a real statement. Gian Piero Gasperini's Roma are unbeaten in five, with four wins and just one blemish — a 2-2 draw at home to Inter. Donyell Malen has been the catalyst, winning Serie A's Player of the Month for August-September, with Paulo Dybala still pulling the strings. Como, managed by Cesc Fàbregas, have been less consistent: a 4-1 win at Genoa followed by a 0-2 loss at Frosinone, though Martin Baturina, Assane Diao, and Anastasios Douvikas have all scored. Their head-to-head is tight too, with each side winning two of the last four meetings. Our prediction: 1-2
