Following two consecutive wins this past week, Lazio will travel to Como on Thursday evening, aiming to end November on a high note.
Biancocelesti have won four of their five matches this month, including both in Europe and Serie A, while the newly promoted home team are experiencing a slump in form.
Latest team news for Como vs Lazio
With Lazio able to welcome back defensive captain Alessio Romagnoli after his suspension, one of two players, Patric or Mario Gila, will have to make way – the latter having suffered an injury last weekend but now confirmed to be fit.
Only right-back Manuel Lazzari is absent due to injury, so coach Marco Baroni has plenty of options to rotate the squad if he wants, as he frequently makes changes in Europe.
Left-back Nuno Tavares is in excellent form after being given consistent playing opportunities: he has seven assists, second only to Bukayo Saka in top European leagues, and the last defender to score more in a Serie A season is Achraf Hakimi (eight assists in the 2020-21 season).
Meanwhile, Como is expected to keep the same attacking trio of Alieu Fadera, Gabriel Strefezza, rising star Nico Paz, and top scorer Patrick Cutrone for Thursday's match.
Cutrone and Strefezza are two of the three players who have featured in all nine of Lariani's domestic league matches this season, alongside Spanish left-back Alberto Moreno.
Moreno's compatriot, Sergi Roberto, is struggling with a thigh injury and may make way for Luca Mazzitelli in midfield, while Belgian defender Ignace Van der Brempt will be unavailable.
Latest predicted lineups for Como vs Lazio
Como:
Audero; Iovine, Kempf, Dossena, Moreno; Mazzitelli, Perrone; Strefezza, Paz, Fadera; Cutrone
Lazio:
Provedel; Marusic, Gila, Romagnoli, Tavares; Rovella, Guendouzi; Noslin, Dia, Zaccagni; Castellanos
Latest football match prediction: Como vs Lazio
After missing Lazio's Europa League victory over Twente due to a three-match suspension, Dutch striker Tijjani Noslin partially redeemed himself by scoring a goal to help his team win against Genoa last weekend.
Following his first-half goal, the Biancocelesti secured all three points with late goals from Pedro and Matias Vecino, extending their impressive run of form at the Stadio Olimpico.
Lazio are now on a 10-match unbeaten run at home in Serie A, improving their overall record across both competitions.
Marco Baroni's team have won six of their last seven matches in all competitions – scoring 17 goals at an average of 2.4 per game – earning nine points from nine points in the Europa League and maintaining a competitive form against Italy's top six.
Furthermore, the capital club could record three consecutive clean sheets for the first time in 2024, suggesting Baroni is close to overcoming the criticism he faced upon his appointment.
However, he still needs to address one weakness: Lazio are not a strong team when playing away from home, having lost three of their four away matches in Serie A this season.
When Como last hosted Lazio in the top league in November 2002, Atletico Madrid's current coach, Diego Simeone, scored for the Biancocelesti, showing they had waited a long time for the chance to compete with the top teams of Calcio.
Having been promoted as the second-placed team last season, Lariani have accumulated nine points so far – five more than at this stage in their previous return to Serie A.
However, after two consecutive 3-2 victories, they have lost two of their last three matches and drawn the other, most recently a 0-1 defeat against Torino.
Cesc Fabregas will be delighted to return to his home ground, Stadio Sinigaglia, where Como has yet to lose this season, as the former Arsenal midfielder looks to retain his place in the top flight.
Standing just above the relegation zone, his team has yet to keep a clean sheet, and doing so against a high-flying Lazio might be too much to ask. While Como has performed well in the top league, Lazio are heading to Lombardy in top form with an attack hungry for goals.
The Biancocelesti could end the home team's unbeaten run at Stadio Sinigaglia, maintaining their position in the race against Napoli, who are currently leading Serie A.
