Will Roma take advantage of the timing of the match?
If the “Taroni” bar in Como still existed, the atmosphere at the club’s founding location would certainly be very good these days. Last season’s tenth-placed team is currently in sixth place and is getting closer and closer to the international spots. Read our preview of the match at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia on the Tiber to find out which Lazio Rome vs. Como prediction could be worthwhile!
The visitors will be more tired, as they had to play a catch-up game from matchday 16 against AC Milan a few days ago this week. Lazio also strengthened their squad during the winter break.
We are talking about Kenneth Taylor, who was signed from Ajax Amsterdam for just under €17 million. The Romans have never spent more money on a winter transfer. The 23-year-old is expected to fill the gap in central midfield left by Matteo Guendouzi’s surprise departure to Fenerbahce in the Turkish Süper Lig.
However, this is a big gap to fill, as the departed Frenchman and former Hertha player had a strong first half of the season at Lazio. In light of the timing of the match and the home advantage for the capital club, the prediction of a home win – including the safety net of a draw – seems promising in the duel between Lazio Rome and Como.
Furthermore, the Lazio vs. Como odds offer a draw at halftime. The visitors start their away games in a very controlled manner: seven of the ten away games they have played this season have already ended in a draw! Only their upcoming opponents and Florence top this 70 percent share in terms of their away halftime draws in Serie A, with 80 percent each.
Lazio Rome – Como Head-to-head record / H2H record
Como is unbeaten in two games against Lazio (1-1-0). Previously, the Romans had recorded three consecutive wins against the “Voltiani” this millennium. For the next edition of Lazio Rome vs. Como, the odds are now very evenly distributed.
Lazio Rome – Como Tip
Coach Cesc Fàbregas’ visiting team has won twice on the road recently, but those victories were only against the two bottom teams, Lecce and Pisa. Lazio is a different caliber of opponent for the “Biancoblù,” and the visitors have previously suffered defeats against comparable opponents such as Roma and Inter Milan.
In addition, the home side are physically fresher in comparison, and the players from Lake Como will continue to be without the injured Alvaro Morata in attack. Given this situation, the betting odds for a home win (DNB) are worth recommending in the clash between Lazio Rome and Como.
In our opinion, hedging a draw is also a good idea because Lazio have been shaky in front of their own fans recently. The Romans have not won in front of their own fans in four home games, and three of those matches have already ended in a draw (0-3-1).
