Roma Team News: Dovbyk a doubt

Como Team News: A few doubts

Como are dealing with several injury doubts as they head to the capital city as former Barcelona man Sergi Roberto remains potentially unavailable, whilst former Tottenham Hotspur man Dele Alli is still building up his fitness levels. 

Predicted XI (4-3-3): Butez; Smolcic, Goldaniga, Kempf, Alex Valle; Caqueret, Maximo Perrone, Da Cunha; Gabriel Strefezza, Nico Paz, Assane Diao

Roma vs Como Prediction

As mentioned, Roma have been much-improved of late and they come into this one on the back of following up their defeat of Porto in the knockout playoffs of the UEFA Europa League by hammering bottom-of-the-table Monza by four goals to nil last week. They face a Como side that have been entertaining to watch throughout the campaign and that continued with a surprise but impressive 2-1 defeat of title challenging Napoli last weekend. That means their 26 matches in Serie A have consisted of 73 goals. Both teams scoring would appear a good bet for this one at the Olimpico.
