Como has gone through a difficult phase after two wins at the end of September, they have remained winless in their last three Serie A matches. Most recently, Cesc Fabregas's team narrowly lost 0-1 at Torino. However, with Como now back at home at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia, they may be more optimistic, as they are still unbeaten at this venue this season. This could give the hosts hope, especially because the support of the home fans often unleashes unexpected power. In all three home games, goals were scored on both sides, and Como is the only team in Serie A that has not yet kept a clean sheet this season. This means that the hosts will have to improve defensively if they want to prevail against Lazio. In the last few encounters with the Romans, things have looked bleak in this regard. Como have lost the two most recent matches and conceded three goals in each. Historically, however, things haven't gone too badly in home games against Lazio as two of the last three games in Como went to the home side by a narrow one-goal difference. If Fabregas can organize the defence better, it could be another close game.
