Lazio
Opening matches are always tricky, but we give a slight advantage to Como when it comes to who might come out victorious in this one.
Como has strengthened both tactically and talent-wise, bringing in experience and quality through their new signings. Morata is now set to lead the attack, supported by young talents such as Paz and Diao.
Their preseason form has been promising scoring at least three goals in four of their five matches and they also secured a 3:1 win in their recent cup fixture.
Lazio, on the other hand, will be weakened by the absence of almost their entire defense. Romagnoli is suspended due to accumulated cards, Patric is sidelined with an injury, and Gigot remains doubtful for this clash.
What we say
Como to Win
The value on a Como win compared to the “both teams to score” option is quite significant. Last season, both meetings saw goals on each side, with Lazio dominating here in a 1:5 victory. However, much has changed since then. Sarri has taken over with his familiar tactical approach, but Lazio now face numerous injuries that leave them vulnerable. Meanwhile, Como come into this match with momentum and look well-positioned to open their campaign with a victory.
