Roma – Como : direct showdown for Europe at the Olimpico 
Roma hosts Como on Monday night in a match that carries weight in the fight for the Serie A top four. The two sides sit three points apart and chase the same prize: upset the pecking order and nick a Champions League spot.
Roma : solid at the back, toothless up front 
After leading the table in late November, Roma have stalled. The Giallorossi arrive having lost two league games on the spin and failed to score in either. Beaten by Napoli at home, then caught cold in Cagliari, they’re paying for a blunt attack and a run of injuries hitting their main forwards.
Still, Gian Piero Gasperini’s side are very much alive for the top four thanks to a rock-solid defensive base. With only eight goals conceded, Roma boast the best back line in the league so far. The European statement in Glasgow against Celtic, capped by a 3-0 win, reminded everyone this squad can show up when it matters.
Como : ambitious underdog, stopped cold in Milan 
Promoted last season, Como keep surprising. The Lariani are enjoying the best start in their Serie A history and are knocking on Europe’s door. Their eleven-game unbeaten run, though, was smashed at San Siro — a heavy 4-0 defeat to Inter.
That loss — the first time Como have let in more than one this season — exposed the limits of a squad still learning at this level. Cesc Fàbregas’s team likes to keep the ball and dictate tempo, but their away record is shakier, with just nine points taken on the road.
Likely line-ups
Roma : Svilar, Mancini, Ndicka, Hermoso, Wesley, Kone, Cristante, Rensch, Soule, Pellegrini, Ferguson
Como : Butez, Smolcic, Ramon, Carlos, Valle, Da Cunha, Caqueret, Diao, Paz, Rodriguez, Douvikas
What to take away
- Roma are struggling to score, but defensively they remain very solid.
- Como are having a remarkable season, despite a recent battering by Inter.
- The two teams are separated by only three points in the table.
- Como’s measured, possession-based style could run into Roma’s organised block.
Football Prediction AS Roma vs Como
Under 2.5 goals
In a tense fixture against a direct rival, Roma could hit a stubborn opponent. Como travel poorly and might struggle to find space too. Expect a tight game, few clear chances, and goals hard to come by at the Olimpico.
First, a word about our predictions
- What we publish on Mathodds are analyses, nothing more. We give an opinion, a snapshot reading, not a guarantee. Sport is what it is: unpredictable. A red card, an injury, a freak goal… and the script flips.
- Let’s be blunt: there’s no such thing as a risk-free bet. Even when it seems “obvious”, it rarely is. And yes, that means you can lose. It’ll happen sooner or later.
- The sensible move is to be reasonable. Bet small, set a budget and stick to it. Don’t touch money you need to live on. And don’t chase losses — it never ends well.
- Betting should stay a pastime, not a job or a revenue stream. If it’s taking over your life, making you anxious or stressed, take a break. And if needed, talk to a specialist service. That’s what they’re there for.
- Ultimately, responsibility lies with you. Reading our content means accepting the risk exists and won’t disappear, even with the best analysis in the world.
- Essential reminder: betting is banned for minors and must follow your country’s laws. Gambling can spiral (financial losses, family strain, addiction). Need Help? Call 1-800-GAMBLER. In the UK? Visit https://www.gambleaware.org/https://www.gambleaware.org/.
No liability on our part
Our predictions are not a contract. They carry no legal weight. In plain terms: you can’t sue us if a bet loses.
Information can change
A prediction is based on what we know when we write it. Later, a team sheet (like Roma’s) might change, a player gets injured, the weather turns… and the analysis can be out of date fast. We can’t be held responsible for that.
