Serie A, played Thursday, October 31st, 2024
Here is our Como v Lazio tip and game preview. Based on our detailed analysis of statistics listed below and other factors, we predicted both teams to not score in this game, under 2.5 goals, and a Como home win. Our confidence in this pick was moderate relative to other picks.
Como will be keen to end a three-match winless run in the Italian top flight on Thursday night when they play host to Lazio at their Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia following two defeats and a draw, while Lazio will be looking to build upon last weekend's rousing 3-0 home win against Genoa when they make the trip to face Como.
Como have managed to collect just two wins so far in this season's Serie A campaign which have come in the shape of welcome wins against Atalanta and Verona respectively, but the hosts have also been dealt four defeats as well so far this term.
Losses at the hands of Juventus, Udinese, Napoli and Torino have been disappointing but it should be noted that all four of these defeats were inflicted upon Cesc Fabregas's side away from home, while results so far this season on home soil at their Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia have been fairly encouraging.
Como still remain unbeaten at home this season as the hosts have picked up points in draws with Bologna and Parma along with recording a welcome three points which came in the form of a 3-2 victory over Verona, so the hosts will be quietly confident about their chances here on Thursday night.
Lazio registered a 3-0 home win against Genoa last weekend in the Italian top flight which saw the visitors bounce back from a 1-0 loss on the road at Juventus but although Lazio have collected five wins already this term, the visitors have also been dealt three defeats within their opening nine games this season as well.
Interestingly, four out of Lazio's five wins to date this season have been achieved on home soil at their Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia with victories gained over the likes of Venezia, Verona, Empoli and Genoa respectively, but they have collected just one win on their travels so far.
A 3-2 win on the road at Torino has been outweighed by losses incurred at Udinese, Fiorentina and Juventus respectively, thus throwing Lazio's prospects of picking up all three points at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia in serious doubt, especially as Lazio have won just three of their last 10 away games in Serie A whilst also being handed five defeats in the process as well.
Having managed to collect just one win from their last six outings on the road in the Italian top flight along with losing three of these six games, Lazio look to have their work cut out ahead of this upcoming midweek fixture against Como.
Como v Lazio Verdict
Lazio have won the last two meetings against Como but the hosts have produced a solid start at home this season and the hosts might just nick a narrow win here.
Therefore, our main bet will be Como win @ 2.87
Other side bets worth considering:
Como win & Under 2.5 goals @ 6.00
Correct Score: Como 2-0 @ 13.00
