Como-Roma: Probable Lineups, Where to Watch, and Match Preview

The Como-Roma Serie A fixture brings top-tier Italian football to the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia on Sunday, October 11, 2026, with a 12:30 local time kickoff. League leaders Roma travel to face an in-form Como side in what stands as one of the standout fixtures of the sixth matchday. With both squads managing significant roster challenges, tactical setups and squad depth will face an early autumn test in Lombardy.

Como Hosting Roma at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia

Como enters the weekend looking to bounce back following a surprise defeat against Frosinone in their previous outing. Cesc Fàbregas’s side has accumulated ten points through the opening rounds of the campaign, placing them three points behind their upcoming visitors. The home side is projected to line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation featuring Butez in goal, supported by a backline of Couto, Ramon, Chalobah, and Valle. Da Cunha and Milla are positioned in central midfield, while Diao, Nico Paz, and Baturina support lone striker Douvikas.

The attacking plans for Como shifted notably after Moise Kean returned from international duty with physical ailments. Fàbregas addressed the situation publicly, noting that Kean requires a recovery period of a week to ten days after sustaining a significant blow during the fixture against Belgium. Fàbregas also expressed frustration regarding international communication, pointing out that Kean played a full 90 minutes against France despite carrying an injury.

Roma Squad Updates and Tactical Preparations

Gian Piero Gasperini brings his Roma squad to Como sharing the top of the Serie A standings alongside Inter and Lazio, having secured a hard-fought draw against the Nerazzurri before the international break. The visitors face a major defensive hurdle with goalkeeper Mile Svilar sidelined for approximately a month due to a fracture. Marco Gollini is set to step in between the posts in Svilar’s absence. Gasperini confirmed the severity of the injury during pre-match press briefings, stating that the goalkeeper will be out of action for a substantial period.

Despite the setback in goal, Roma recovered both Wesley and Malen in time for the fixture, with each player expected to feature in the starting XI. Bryan Cristante remains unavailable due to injury, leaving Marten de Roon to fill the void in central midfield. Lorenzo Pellegrini is slated to anchor the attacking midfield role, supported by Paulo Dybala and Malen, as other returning internationals like Mora and Soulé are managed carefully following their national team exploits. Evan Ndicka returns to shore up a three-man central defense that also includes Gianluca Mancini and Mario Hermoso.
