Como Vs Lazio Prediction, Betting Tips, Preview & Odds

Ahead of Sunday’s Serie A opener, FootItalia has the Como vs Lazio preview, prediction, betting tips and odds. 

Como Vs Lazio Preview

Having spent over €100million on new recruits this summer, expectations are high for Cesc Fabregas’ Como side in 2025-26.

The rookie boss led the Biancoblu to a 10th-placed finish on their Serie A return last season. Now, the feeling around the Sinigaglia is that a push for the top six is more than viable.

Pre-season has boded well for Fabregas’ side (minus the Barcelona game) which has provided a strong feeling of optimism. Victories over Lille, Ajax and Real Betis have teed the Lariani up nicely for Sunday’s encounter.

A number of changes for the Como predicted lineup are expected for the match. New signings Alvaro Morata, Jesus Rodriguez and Jacobo Ramon are all set to feature.

As for Lazio, the Biancocelesti have had a rather contrasting summer to their hosts. After missing out on European soccer, former boss Maurizio Sarri replaced Marco Baroni.

However, just a few days into his tenure, the Rome-based side was hit with a transfer embargo. Naturally, that scuppered Sarri’s transfer activity but the wily veteran boss vowed to do his best under the restrictions.

The only ‘new’ faces are the likes of Nuno Tavares, Nicolo Rovella and Luca Pellegrini who all made their loan switches to the Stadio Olimpico permanent.

Nonetheless, history does favor Sarri’s side in this fixture. They won 5-1 at the Sinigaglia last season before drawing 1-1 at home. In fact, the Laziali have never lost to Sunday’s hosts in the Italian top-flight.

Como Vs Lazio Prediction

Although Como are the slight +150 favorites on Serie A betting sites to beat Lazio, we feel the fixture has ‘draw’ written all over it and that is what FootItalia is predicting to happen on Sunday. Both clubs are evenly matched all over the field and that should reflect in the final scoreline.

Cesc Fabregas’s side is undertaking a new and exciting era but the Biancocelesti have the experience and know-how to frustrate their hosts.

That is why we are going to sit on the fence and determine a point apiece will be the outcome in Lombardy. Despite the visitors having a number of defensive absentees.

Prediction: Como 1-1 Lazio

Como Vs Lazio Betting Tips

• Como vs Lazio betting tip 1: Both teams to score at  -125.

Como certainly has the attacking prowess to punish Lazio’s weakened defense. However, the visitors will also be dangerous going forward and have Taty Castellanos to call upon in what will likely be a cagey affair.

• Como vs Lazio betting tip 2: Under 2.5 goals at  -120.

Granted, last season this fixture witnessed six goals but the season opener should be a lot less dramatic this time around. Both sides will be finding their feet and we expected a low-scoring game.
