It goes without saying that it’s a crucial fixture for both Roma and Como, who are battling for a Champions League spot.
Como are without Jayden Addai, while Roberto Perrone is not fully fit. According to Sky Sport, however, the ex-Manchester City talent will still start in central midfield.
Roma, on the other hand, are short of options in attack with Artem Dovbyk, Evan Ferguson, Paulo Dybala and Matias Soulé injured. Furthermore, centre-backEvan Ndicka is suspended.
According to Gazzetta, Jan Ziółkowski is favourite over Daniele Ghilardi, while Gazzetta claims that the Italian will start in a back-three alongside Gianluca Mancini and Mario Hermoso.
