Como host AS Roma on Sunday, 11 October 2026, with kick-off scheduled for 10:30 GMT in the sixth round of Serie A.
Cesc Fabregas is expected to stick with his preferred 4-2-3-1 formation as Como prepare to face the league leaders at home. The Spanish manager has almost his entire squad available, with only a few minor fitness concerns reported.
That gives Fabregas plenty of attacking options as Como attempt to inflict a first setback on Roma. Their likely starting XI is:
Goalkeeper: Butez
Defenders: Couto, Ramon, Trevoh Chalobah, Valle
Midfielders: Milla, Da Cunha, Assane Diao, Nico Paz, Baturina
Forward: Douvikas
Roma are expected to retain the 3-4-2-1 system used by manager Gian Piero Gasperini. The shape can become a 3-6-1 when they have possession, creating a heavily attacking structure built around numerical strength in midfield.
That approach has contributed to Roma having the best attack in Serie A. Their midfield density is intended to limit Como’s influence while supplying regular service to the lone centre-forward.
Gasperini’s probable Roma line-up is:
Goalkeeper: Svilar
Defenders: Mancini, Balerdi, Hermoso
Midfielders: Rensch, Wesley, Kone, Molina, Dybala, Malen
Forward: Soule
The match will be Como’s sixth fixture of the Italian championship and presents a significant home test against an AS Roma side currently at the top of the table.
According to the published 1xbet odds, Como are priced at 2.62 to win, a draw is valued at 3.71, while an AS Roma victory is priced at 2.75.
