JAKARTA After swallowing a bitter defeat in the Derby della Capitale, Lazio are determined to rise when they host Como in Serie A at the Stadio Olimpico on Saturday 11 January. With a record of only seven points from the last six matches, Biancocelesti needs a win to stay on the path of the Champions League ticket.
In his last match, Lazio had to admit the superiority of AS Roma city rivals with a score of 2-0. This defeat got even tougher after Taty Castellos got a red card in stoppage time. In addition, card accumulation left Mario Crazy and captain Mattia Zaccagni out of the match against Como.
Although Lazio's home performance was solid with five consecutive wins, they have now won only one point from the last two matches at Stadio Olimpico. This situation put Lazio in a difficult position, competing closely with Juventus, Fiorentina, Bologna, and AC Milan to fight for the top four.
On the other hand, Como, who has just been promoted to Serie A, has started to show improvements. In the last five matches, Cesc Fabregas' team have only lost once. In their last match, they beat Lecce with a score of 2-1 thanks to goals from Nico Paz and Patrick Cutrone.
Despite losing 5-1 to Lazio in the previous meeting, Como has now appeared more solid and is ready to provide fierce resistance.

Lazio lost a number of key players, including Taty Castelanos (scorsing), Mario Gila, and Mattia Zaccagni. In addition, Patric and Matias Vecino were also sidelined due to injury. However, Boulaye Dia is expected to be able to break the deadlock after failing to score in his last nine matches.
From the Como camp, Patrick Cutrone became a mainstay in the front line after contributing to three goals in the last three matches. However, Fabregas had to overcome the absence of Maximo Perrone, Sergi Roberto, and Edoardo Goldaniga due to injury and suspension.
History sided with Lazio, who won six of the last eight meetings against Como at Stadio Olimpico. However, the host's inconsistent performance gave Como hope to steal points.
Lazio (4-2-3-1):Provedel; Lazzari, Romagnoli, Gigot, Tavares; Rovella, Guendouzi; Tchaouna, Dele-Basinu, Isaksen; Dia
Como (4-2-3-1):Reina; Van der Brempt, Dossena, Kempf, Moreno; Da Cunha, Engelhardt; Strefezza, Paz, Fadera; Cutrone
