Como, who were only promoted to the top flight for the 2024/25 season, secured European qualification for the first time in their history last season, finishing just two points behind third-placed Roma.
Cesc Fabregas' men have picked up where they left off with a fantastic start to the season, but I Giallorossi have done better and went into gameweek six of the Serie A season leading the pack.

Como v Roma Prediction
Best Bet: Over 2.5 goals & both teams to score @ 5/6
Only Inter Milan can better Roma's 14-goal tally after five Serie A games, but they could come under threat themselves against a Como outfit with plenty of attacking promise.
The hosts have scored six goals in two home matches this season, with over 2.5 goals and both teams to score landing in both of them.
AS Roma have seen goals at both ends in three of their last four matches and the corresponding fixture last season ended 2-1 in Como's favour, so expect plenty of entertainment at Stadio Guiseppe Sinigaglia.
Alternative Bet: Donyell Malen to score @ 21/20
Donyell Malen had a difficult year at Aston Villa, scoring just 10 goals in 46 appearances before being loaned out to Roma in January 2026.
That gave birth to a new lease of life for the Netherlands international, who scored an incredible 14 goals in 18 appearances, finishing joint-second in the Serie A goalscoring charts despite only playing for half the season.
The 27-year-old started the 2026/27 campaign with a bang, too, bagging a hat-trick against Fiorentina in Roma's curtain raiser.
He has racked up six league goals in five appearances and scored in Roma's 2-1 defeat to Como in March, so back him to find the net.

- Evan N’Dicka 2+ fouls committed
Pays 21/4
Martin Baturina enjoyed a productive first season in Serie A following his 2025 move from Dinamo Zagreb, and the 23-year-old midfielder is only getting better.
Having cemented a starting berth, Baturina has scored three goals and assisted two in his six competitive appearances for Como and he produced a man-of-the-match performance in last term's win over Roma.
Teammate Nico Paz has also had a great start to the campaign, with the Argentine youngster chipping in with four goal contributions and enjoying a fantastic international break.
He scored in all three appearances for Argentina and had an incredible 10 shots in his last Como outing against Frosinone. He has had three or more attempts in all six appearances this season and looks like good value in the shots market.
As does Malen, who has registered 24 shots from six games, having at least three attempts in all six appearances en route to scoring six goals.
Further back, central defender Evan N'Dicka has committed 13 fouls in just four games and could be a fouls target for Roma.
He has committed at least two infringements in all three 2026/27 starts for the club.
