Como vs AS Roma prediction

AS Roma travel north to face Como sitting at the summit of Serie A with thirteen points from their opening five fixtures. The Giallorossi have enjoyed an undefeated start to the campaign, powered by six goals from D. Malen and four assists from Paulo Dybala. Their defensive stability has been particularly notable away from home, where they have kept consecutive clean sheets with victories over Lecce and Torino.

Como occupy eighth place with ten points and have also made a competitive start, winning three of their five league matches. However, they head into this clash following a 2-0 defeat away at Frosinone. While their overall numbers remain respectable with nine goals scored, the absence of forward Moise Kean through health problems poses a test to their offensive rhythm against one of the league's stingiest backlines.

Historically, this fixture has favoured the home team, with Como winning both previous encounters staged at their home ground by 2-0 and 2-1 margins. AS Roma nonetheless carry momentum and the league's best defensive record into this contest, setting up a closely matched encounter in round six.
