Overview
AS Roma are gradually regaining stability under the reign of new coach Claudio Ranieri. They have been unbeaten in 5 consecutive matches (4 wins, 1 draw), including 3 wins in Serie A against Venezia, Parma, Monza and eliminating Porto to advance to the 1/8 round of Europa League. On the rise, the Olimpico team will aim for further victories.
Under the leadership of Ranieri, Roma became strong in defense. In the last 3 matches in Serie A, they have kept a clean sheet thanks to the effective coordination between Ndicka, Mancini and Celik. That is also the premise for the strikers on the attack line of the capital Roma team to shine.
In the last 5 matches, Roma achieved an efficiency of 2 goals/match with Paulo Dybala, Matias Soule, Shomurodov taking turns to leave their mark.
For Como, their form is not bad either. Last week, they caused a big shock when they defeated Napoli 2-1 at home. Before that, coach Cesc Fabregas' team also defeated Fiorentina 2-0.
Consecutive positive results have helped the Lombardy club escape relegation and have risen to 13th place before the start of round 27. If they continue to maintain their form, Como can completely think about finishing in the top half of the rankings.
Of course, Roma are still rated higher than Como thanks to their quality squad and 9 wins and 1 draw in their last 10 matches in all competitions at Olimpico.
In addition, Como is at a disadvantage as it has not won 3 consecutive Serie A matches since 1952. It is not surprising if Ranieri's team enjoys the joy of victory.
Personnel situation
Roma coach Claudio Ranieri will not have the service of striker Artem Dovbyk due to a muscle injury. The player could only return in mid-March.
On the other side of the front line, Como are missing a series of names such as Dele Alli, Alberto Dossena, Ignace Van der Brempt and Ivan Azon due to injury.
Expected lineup:
AS Roma: Svilar, Ndicka, Mancini, Celik, Angelino, Kone, Paredes, Saelemaekers, Dybala, Soule, Shomurodov.
Como: Butez, Smolcic, Goldaniga, Kempf, province, Cunha, Perrone, Strefezza, Caqueret, Diao, Paz.
