"Two sides aiming to break into Serie A's top four will clash at Stadio Olimpico on Monday evening, as Roma play host to Como in a high-stakes encounter in the capital. Both teams are pushing hard for Champions League qualification, with the Giallorossi holding a narrow three-point advantage over their visitors in what promises to be a tense battle. Roma"
"Those setbacks have seen Roma slip further from the title race, and their attacking woes are clear: of all sides in the top half, Gasperini's men have scored the fewest goals-just 15 overall, with only seven coming at home. Injuries and poor form have plagued forwards Artem Dovbyk, Paulo Dybala, and Evan Ferguson, leaving the burden on a defense that remains imperious."
"Indeed, Roma boast the tightest back line in Serie A, conceding only eight goals so far-their best record at this stage for 12 years. That solidity was on display again in Thursday's Europa League clash, as they swept Celtic aside 3-0 in Glasgow, with Ferguson netting twice to revive hopes of a turnaround. Now sitting just one point shy of automatic qualification in Europe, Roma return to domestic duty needing a statement win."
Roma host Como at Stadio Olimpico with both teams chasing a top-four finish and Champions League qualification. Roma sit three points clear of Como but have suffered consecutive goalless league defeats amid a growing striker crisis, with injuries and poor form affecting Artem Dovbyk, Paulo Dybala, and Evan Ferguson. Defensive solidity remains a strength, with only eight goals conceded so far, their best record at this stage for 12 years. Midweek rotation yielded a 3-0 Europa League win at Celtic, with Ferguson netting twice to revive hopes. Celik is suspended; Manu Kone and Bryan Cristante should return, while Dovbyk remains unavailable.
