Como vs Lazio Match Analysis & Prediction
31/10/2024 10:45 pm
After recording back-to-back victories over the past week, Lazio will travel to Como on Thursday night looking to end October on a high.
The Biancocelesti have won four of their five matches this month – in Europe and Serie A – while their promoted hosts have endured a downturn.
Having sat out of Lazio’s recent Europa League win over FC Twente due to a three-game ban, Dutch striker Tijjani Noslin partly redeemed his disciplinary lapse by setting on the road to victory over Genoa last weekend.
Following his first-half strike, Lazio secured maximum points through late goals from Pedro and Matias Vecino, extending their splendid run at Stadio Olimpico.
Marco Baroni’s side have now put together a 10-game unbeaten run in Serie A home matches, while embellishing an overall record that has seen them thrive on two fronts.
Lazio have won six of their last seven matches across all competitions – scoring 17 goals at an average of 2.4 per game – collecting nine points from nine in the Europa League and keeping pace with Italy’s top six.
Furthermore, Lazio could now record three successive clean sheets for the first time in 2024, suggesting that Baroni is set to win over the critics that loudly doubted his appointment.
When Como hosted Lazio in the top flight, back in November 2002, current Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone was on target for the Biancocelesti, which demonstrates just how long they have waited to mix with Calcio’s elite.
Following their promotion as second-tier runners-up last season, Como have picked up nine points so far – five more than at this stage of their last stay in Serie A.
However, after enjoying successive 3-2 victories, they have since lost two of their last three matches and drawn the other, most recently suffering a 1-0 defeat to Torino.
Cesc Fabregas will therefore be glad to return home to Stadio Sinigaglia, where Como are unbeaten this season, as the former Arsenal midfielder plots a course for top-flight survival.
Hovering just above the relegation zone, his side are yet to record a single clean sheet, and finally doing so against in-form Lazio may be a little too much to ask.

Lazio Team News
As Lazio can welcome back defensive leader Alessio Romagnoli from suspension, either Patric or Mario Gila must make way – the latter picked up a knock at the weekend but has since been declared fit.
