Como vs. Lazio: Current situation
What many coaches could not do in two decades, Cesc Fabregas did in two years. The freshly retired Spanish international took over Como last season in his debut as head coach and brought the team back to Serie A. Como is fearless in the first couple of months of the season, and they look ready to be in the elite for a long time. Still, winning only one point in the last three games has put some pressure on the coaching staff and the players, and hosting Lazio will be a real test for the team from the lakeside.
Lazio is one of the most exciting teams to watch in the Serie A this season, and their aggressiveness on the offensive end has brought them success. After losing to Juventus in a tough game with 10 players on the pitch, the Sky Blues have had a successful week, defeating Twente on the toad in the Europa League by 2-0 and Genoa by 3-0 at home in the previous round of Serie A. Now Lazio has 6 wins in the last 7 games overall, which speaks enough about their current form.
Como Stats & Form
Como has dropped to 13th place in the league with only two wins in nine games. Both of their wins came in back-to-back games against Atalanta on the road and Verona at home, as they scored three goals in both of those games. Since then, Como has scored twice in the last three games and won only a point against Parma and lost to Napoli and Torino. Como leads Serie A with 11.7 tackles per game, is second in penalties conceded, and is 12th with 1.2 goals per game. Patrick Cutrone is the top scorer on the team with 4 goals so far in the season.
Lazio Stats & Form
Lazio had a slow start of the season but recently they turned things around and are now in sixth place in the standings. Lazio has 3 wins in the last 4 games in Serie A and 6 in the last 7 overall and will have a chance to continue the successful run. Lazio is fifth in the league with 17 goals so far in the season or 1.9 per game and third in accurate crosses and yellow cards per game. Senegalese Boulaye Dia is the top scorer on the team with three goals so far in the season.

Betting tip and prediction: Como - Lazio (31.10.2024)
No matter how strange that sounds, there are not many teams in Europe that play better than Lazio at the moment. The Eagles are excellent on both ends of the pitch, and it seems like the team chemistry is on a remarkable level. Lazio had two impressive wins in the past week, and the visit to Como could not get in a better time for manager Marco Baroni. Manuel Lazzari’s injury is something he needed to deal with, but Lazio has a very strong midfield, with Matteo Guendouzi and Nicolo Rovella orchestrating their play on both ends. On the other hand, things are not going the way Cesc Fabregas wanted. Como made a lot of noise with two consecutive wins but could not keep on playing on that level in the past couple of weeks. The newcomer in the Serie A needs to regroup or they will quickly find themselves on the verge of the relegation zone. Como definitely has the roster to play better, but the absence of Ignace Van der Brempt and Federico Barba in their defense was felt in recent games. Regardless, the only way Como knows how to play is offense, and they will attack no matter what. Lazio has a similar motto and will try to keep their winning streak alive. So with both sides “throwing punches,” we go with both teams to score in this one.
