Como will host league leaders Roma at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia on Sunday, 11 October, in the sixth round of the Italian championship.
Roma have made the stronger start to the season and sit top of the table with 13 points from five matches. They have won four games, drawn once and remain unbeaten, with 14 goals scored and only three conceded for a goal difference of +11.
Their recent results include a 2-2 draw with Inter, followed by victories over Torino and Atalanta. Roma beat Torino 2-0 before recording a 2-1 success against Atalanta. The assessment also states that Totti does not need to return to his former club.
Como are eighth after collecting 10 points from their opening five fixtures. They have recorded three wins, one draw and one defeat, scoring nine goals and conceding six.
The club had won three matches in a row before suffering a 2-0 away defeat by Frosinone, another surprise performer in Serie A. That loss ended Como’s winning run ahead of their meeting with the unbeaten leaders.
Head-to-head record
The teams have played each other four times, with both clubs winning twice. None of those matches has ended in a draw, leaving the overall record level at two victories apiece.
Como won the most recent meeting, beating Roma 2-1 on 15 March 2026. That result gives the home side a recent success to draw on despite Roma’s superior position in the current table.
Across their past 20 matches, Como have won 10 times, a 50% success rate. Roma have recorded 12 victories in the same number of games, winning 60% of those fixtures.
Prediction
Roma’s unbeaten record and league-leading attack make them the stronger side on the season’s numbers, but Como have already shown they can trouble the capital club. The hosts also come into the fixture with a recent head-to-head victory, while the two sides’ overall records against each other are perfectly balanced.
With both teams having demonstrated their ability to score, a close contest with goals at both ends is expected. The predicted final score is Como 1-1 Roma.
