- Lazio ended a four-match winless run with a 1-0 victory at Hellas Verona last weekend but are winless in their last four home games, taking three draws.
- Como fell 3-1 to AC Milan on Thursday for their first home defeat of the season after conceding three times in the second half.
- Maurizio Sarri’s Lazio enter with strong defensive numbers but limited scoring after a transfer-embargo-affected summer, and Cesc Fàbregas oversees a well-backed Como pushing for European qualification.
