Como have an opportunity to move three points clear of both Roma and Juventus in the Serie A top four as they host Pisa in a huge match in the race for the Champions League positions.
Como are on a four-game winning streak in Serie A and a six-game unbeaten run across all competitions, and have had to play against Milan, Juventus and Inter over that period. They most recently defeated top-four-challengers Roma 2-1 in a heated clash at the Sinigaglia last weekend.

As a result of their victory over Roma, and following Juventus’s 1-1 draw against Sassuolo on Saturday, Cesc Fabregas’s side now have an opportunity to move three points clear in fourth place heading into the international break.

Pisa, meanwhile, have only won twice in the league all season, but their most recent came last weekend in a 3-1 victory over Cagliari. They remain in 19th place on 18 points, nine away from safety with nine games left to play.
Fabregas has deployed all of his star attackers in Nico Paz, Assane Diao, Jesus Rodriguez and Anastasios Douvikas against Pisa on Sunday. Of the four, only Paz started in the 2-1 victory over Roma last weekend. Maxi Perrone also returns to the midfield alongside Lucas Da Cunha.
