Roma vs Como Prediction as Cesc Fabregas' Side Seek Redemption After San Siro Humiliation

Roma hosts Como at the Stadio Olimpico on Monday, 15th December 2025, for their GameWeek 16 fixture. After losing their last league game, both teams are looking to get themselves to winning ways in Serie A. AS Roma have lost their lead in the league table that they established back in November after losing back-to-back games without scoring a goal. On the other hand, Como's 10-game unbeaten run across all competitions had finally come to a halt by Inter in their last game. While a win for the hosts does not change their position at the league table, if Como manages to win away from home, they will take Roma's spot at the 4th position of the table.

While fans from both sides have separate expectations from the game, at Sportsdunia, we will provide you with a Roma vs Como Prediction based on team forms, news, and game preview.

Roma vs Como Preview

In our Roma vs Como Preview, Roma seems to have the advantage in the fixture based on their momentum. While Roma had lost their last two games in the league, they came out with a positive result from their recent meeting against Celtic. Ferguson's brace ensured a whole three points for the I Giallorossi. As of now, they are just one point below the automatic qualification to the knockout stage. Looking back at the league, out of all the teams that are inside the top half of the table, Gasperini's side is the one with the fewest goals scored. A solid striker crisis in the lineup is clear.

If we look at Como's away game history against Roma, I Biancoblu has managed only one win out of their 13 games. However, the newly-promoted side had a solid start to the top-flight after returning this year. Until their away game against Inter last week, they have been undefeated since August. Even though Como has maintained 60% possession in Serie A on average, their recent meeting against Inter has not panned out the way Cesc Fabregas thought it would. Therefore, it would be interesting to see if the Spaniard will have tactical changes against Gasperini's Roma.

Roma Team News

From their last league game, Gasperini had made a total of five changes for their Europa League game. Given the unavailability of Celik due to suspension, Gasperini would have to explore other options. Moreover, both Ndicka and El Aynaoui will be missed for this game as they are out for AFCON duties. Though doubtful due to his form, we can expect Dybala to be featured in the starting lineup.

Roma Expected Lineup (3-6-1)

Goalkeeper: Svilar

Defenders: Mancini, Ndicka, Hermoso

Midfielders: Wesley, Kone, Cristante, Tsimikas, Soule Pellegrini

Forwards: Dybala

Como Team News

While the star forward Alvaro Morata has been sidelined due to a thigh injury, we can expect other marquee players to be included in the starting lineup as usual. Fabregas will surely have Nico Paz and Douvikas in the first team against Roma. Maximo Perrone is serving a one-game ban, while both Goldaniga and Roberto are ruled out.

Como Expected Lineup (4-2-3-1)

Goalkeeper: Butez

Defenders: Posch, Diego Carlos, Ramon, Valle

Midfielders: De Cunha, Caqueret, Addai, Paz, Rodriguez
