Team Analysis
Lazio will be looking to improve on their last outing here following the 2-0 Serie A defeat in their last game at the hands of Roma. In that game, Lazio had 67% possession and 17 attempts on goal with 6 on target. For their opponents, Roma had 7 shots on goal with 5 of them on target. Lorenzo Pellegrini (10') and Alexis Saelemaekers (18') scored for Roma.

It’s been all too rare in recent times where Lazio have kept a clean sheet. In fact, Lazio have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 matches, giving up 11 goals along the way. While that may be of interest, we must now wait to see whether the trend might be sustained in this next match. Heading into this fixture, Lazio are without a win at home for the past 2 league games.

Como will go into the meeting following a 2-0 Serie A win in the defeat of Lecce in their previous fixture. In that match, Como had 57% possession and 15 shots at goal with 8 of them on target. For Como, the goalscorers were Nico Paz (49') and Patrick Cutrone (80'). At the other end, Lecce got 11 shots on goal with 1 on target.

For 5 of the prior six games involving Como, a relatively low number of goals have been hit between them and opposing teams. The overall average number of goals per game in that spell is a mere 2.33, with the average goals for I Lariani being 1.17. Heading into this fixture, Como are without a win away from home in their last 6 league games.

Odds Analysis
We’re inclined to think that Lazio should have the majority of the possession and should be able to turn a few of their chances into goals. At the same time, Como will be up against it to score but do we see them being dangerous for periods. We’re tipping a comfortable 3-1 margin for Lazio at the end of this one.

Pick: Lazio
