Como will return to the field against Roma on the sixth day of Serie A, with the aim of canceling the negative result obtained against Frosinone before the break. Cesc Fabregas' team, which has shown a good start to the season, wants to resume the race towards the top of the group, demonstrating that it can react quickly after a defeat.
For Roma, led by Gian Piero Gasperini, the match represents an opportunity to recover the victory lost against Inter the previous week. The Giallorossi club enters the pitch already aware of Inter's result and is looking for an immediate response to maintain their race towards the top positions. However, the coach has to deal with the absence of Mile Svilar, who suffered a broken toe. Svilar's absence represents a significant loss, especially in view of a match against a Como team eager for redemption.
The official lineups were announced in advance. Como lines up a 4-2-3-1 with Butez in goal, Couto, Chalobah, Ramon and Kaiki in defence, Perrone and Da Cunha as midfielders, Diao, Paz and Caqueret in attack, with Douvikas as striker. On the bench are Vigorito, Sánchez, Kempf, Valle, Milla, Dossena, Lahdo, Jesus Rodríguez, Goldaniga, Baturina, Ricci, Smolčić, Liberali, Addai and Kambwala. Coach Fabregas chose to give the place to Kaiki, preferred to Valle, and to exclude Soulé, opting instead for Pellegrini on the pitch.
Roma, on the other hand, presents itself with a 3-4-1-2. Gollini is in goal, while Mancini, Ndicka and Hermoso are in defence. In midfield we find Molina, Koné, De Roon and Wesley, with Pellegrini as attacking midfielder. In attack, Dybala and Malen complete the top pair. On the bench, coach Gasperini left Svilar out and chose to make room for Soulé, with Balerdi, Pisilli, Lulli, Mora and Ghilardi waiting for a possible entry onto the pitch.
With Como ready to exploit their home and Roma eager to recover points, the match promises to be an intense confrontation. The final result will influence the position of both clubs in the table, with Como looking to consolidate their position at the top of the group and Roma trying to maintain their bid for the top positions.
