The home side are physically fresher and the footballers from lake Como will still have to do without the injured Alvaro Morata in attack. Lazio are also strengthening their squad during the winter break. The player in question is Kenneth Taylor, who was signed from Ajax for almost €17 million. Lazio have never spent more money on a winter transfer. The 23-year-old is expected to fill the gap in central midfield left by the surprising departure of Matteo Guendouzi to Fenerbahce. Como is unbeaten in their last two matches against Lazio. The odds for this match are now very evenly split. Cesc Fàbregas' team has won its last two away matches, but those victories came only against the two bottom-of-the-table teams Lecce and Pisa. Lazio now presents a different caliber of opponent for the guests and they previously suffered defeats against comparable opponents such as Roma and Inter. Last season's 10th-place finishers are currently in 6th place and are increasingly eyeing the European qualification spots.
