Como 1907 lost 0-1 away to Torino in the last match, and the team has recorded only one draw and two losses in the last three league games, showing a decline in form. In the first nine league matches, Como achieved a record of two wins, three draws, and four losses, which is quite impressive for a newly promoted team. Como primarily plays in a 4-2-3-1 formation, focusing on midfield adjustments and quick counter-attacks. Their midfielders frequently change positions to penetrate the opponent’s penalty area, making it difficult for the opponents’ defense. If they successfully break through the first line of defense, Como will launch a quick attack, utilizing the individual skills of their forwards to score. This style of play is direct but somewhat risky, as their defense is relatively open and can easily be exploited by opponents. Additionally, Como has performed excellently at home, remaining unbeaten in their three home league matches with one win and two draws, making their home ground a crucial place for earning points.
Lazio swept Genoa 3-0 at home in the last match and has recorded four wins and one loss in the last five games, showing outstanding form. Lazio also plays in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with a tactical style focused on possession and control. They break through the opponent’s defense using strong midfield control and the individual abilities of their forwards. Furthermore, Lazio’s attacking tactics are diverse, including combinations of wing and central play, quick counter-attacks, and set pieces. Defensively, Lazio employs an aggressive pressing strategy to regain possession in the opponent’s half. It is worth mentioning that although Lazio is in great form recently, they have a busy schedule due to European competitions, with an average of one match every three days, which poses a significant physical challenge for the players. Coupled with the fact that this match is an away game, Lazio’s physical condition may present certain risks.
Although Como’s strength and overall performance are not as good as Lazio’s, their home advantage is their greatest weapon for victory. Additionally, Lazio’s recent packed schedule means their physical condition is clearly not as favorable as Como’s, who can afford to rest. Given these factors, it would not be surprising if Como, benefiting from home advantage and better physical condition, manages to earn points in this match.
