What is the story about?
Thanks to their brief stay at the top of the table, Roma was the talk of the town. Sure, the offense wasn’t exactly humming, but thanks to a suffocating defense and Mile Svilar’s heroics in goal, Gian Piero Gasperini’s group was perhaps the biggest surprise in Serie A.
Just don’t tell that to Cesc Fabregas and Como. Entering Round 15, Como is not only in the upper half of the table, but they’re only three points behind Roma. Thanks to 21-year-old Nico Paz, Como is redefining expectations for the little
cub next to the famous lake.
So, as incredible as this may have sounded a year ago, this fixture, a veritable six-pointer, has massive implications for Roma’s Champions League chase.
The lineups are in, so let’s get down to business!
