Will Como live up to its high ambitions?
Como and Lazio Rome play a minor role in the Italian championship odds. Nevertheless, both clubs are capable of surprising us positively this season. Coach Cesc Fabregas’ team in particular was strengthened in the summer and has already shown in the past season why many experts even see “I Lariani” as European Cup contenders. My Como vs. Lazio Rome prediction for the first matchday of Serie A also favors the home side, who play their home games in front of a picturesque backdrop at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia, right on Lake Como.
The club spent over €100 million in the transfer market last summer. Prominent new signings such as Martin Baturina, Nicolas Kühn, Jesus Rodriguez, and Alvaro Morata are expected to ensure that the White and Blues can build on their aforementioned second half of the season. They won nine of 19 games.
Only the top five teams, Milan, Inter, Juventus, Napoli, and Roma, celebrated more successes than the newly rich club from Lombardy. Among others, they also defeated champions Napoli at home. Those who don’t want to take the risk of a three-way bet can still get solid odds of 1.92 for the Como vs. Lazio Rome prediction on the Bet-at-Home app.
However, it is also clear that the visitors from the Italian capital should not be underestimated. Why should they be? The Biancocelesti reached the quarter-finals of the UEFA Europa League last year and have set themselves the goal of competing internationally every year. In addition, the Romans have brought back their former successful coach Maurizio Sarri. The Neapolitan native was already at the helm of Lazio between 2021 and 2024, leading the club not only to the round of 16 of the Champions League, but also to second place in the league.
With a squad that has hardly changed, Sarri now wants to play a prominent role once again. The pre-season friendlies against Galatasaray, Fenerbahce and Burnley have already shown that the team has good quality in attack. This makes the odds for Como vs. Lazio Rome on Sunday evening all the more attractive.
Como – Lazio Rome Head-to-head record / H2H record
These two clubs have crossed paths 18 times in the top flight of Italian football. Lazio Rome won half of these matches. Como has five wins, four of them at home. In 2024/25, the clubs faced each other in Serie A for the first time in over 20 years. Lazio won 5-1 at Lake Como at the end of October. The return leg at the Olympic Stadium in Rome ended in a 1-1 draw. Both teams scored at least one goal in each of the two legs!
Como – Lazio Rome Tip
In the preseason, Como has already proven that it has a very strong team, which, under Fabregas, naturally also has the ambition to solve many problems on the pitch. Among other things, Como beat Ajax Amsterdam and Betis Sevilla.
However, the dress rehearsal against Barcelona ended in a 0-5 defeat. In my opinion, the courageous approach of the former world-class Spanish footballer is a good reason to bet on a relatively high-scoring game on Sunday evening. Furthermore, I definitely believe that the White and Blues from Lombardy are capable of securing three points at home.
It could also be interesting to bet on both teams scoring in the match between Como and Lazio Rome. The visitors from the Italian capital will also be playing a different style of football under their new, old successful coach Maurizio Sarri than they did last season. We can therefore expect a lively opening match.
