Como vs AS Roma tips: Unbeaten visitors hunt three in a row

Sunday night's Serie A Round 6 clash between Como and AS Roma shapes as a belter, with the unbeaten hosts welcoming the competition's only side yet to concede a goal this season. Kick-off at 9:30 pm AEDT pits eighth-placed Como — coming off a gutsy 2–1 away win at Napoli — against the ladder leaders, who've steamrolled opponents 8–0 across two matches.

The contrast in early-season narratives is stark: Como have scraped together four points from a win and a draw, both on the road, while Roma sit pretty on maximum points with back-to-back 4–0 demolitions. The visitors' defensive wall hasn't cracked yet, and their attacking output — four goals in each outing — suggests they're not here to park the bus. The head-to-head ledger between these two remains thin, so punters are leaning on current form and ladder positions to frame the yarn.

Who will win Como vs AS Roma?

AS Roma's credentials are impossible to ignore. They sit top of the ladder with six points, having dispatched Fiorentina 4–0 at home and then repeated the dose away to Lecce on September 1. That Lecce result — their last start — was clinical: four goals, zero conceded, no passengers. Over their last two outings they've averaged four goals scored and none leaked, a ruthless consistency that has the bookies cautious.

Como, by contrast, have yet to play at home this season. Their two matches were both away fixtures: a 1–1 draw at Udinese followed by that impressive 2–1 win at Napoli on August 31. Coming off a win always matters, and nicking three points at Napoli is no small beer, but the sample size is narrow and the scorelines modest — three goals for, two against across those two trips. They sit eighth with four points, respectable enough, but this will be their first test in front of their own crowd.

The match-winner market reflects the tension: Como and AS Roma are both quoted at $2.50, with the draw at $3.60. That equal pricing tells you the bookies see this as a genuine arm-wrestle despite the ladder gap. Roma's flawless start carries weight, but Como's unbeaten run and the home advantage — even if untested so far — keep them in the conversation. For our serie a predictions, we're leaning toward the visitors' form line and firepower proving the difference, but there's enough uncertainty here to warrant a measured approach.

Total goals: Over the line?

The Total Goals market is set at 2.5, and the recent movement is telling a story: the over has firmed from 1.62 to 1.55, while the under has drifted from 2.2 to 2.3. Punters are backing goals, and Roma's recent output gives them every reason to do so. Across their last two matches, the visitors have averaged four goals scored per game, a rate that would clear 2.5 on its own if replicated here.

Como's scoring has been more modest — three goals across two away fixtures — but they've shown they can find the net, including twice against Napoli's defence. The combined average from Roma's last two outings (four goals for, zero against per match) and Como's (1.5 for, one against) suggests a game with multiple goals is well within reach, especially if both sides commit forward. The total goals betting has seen the over tighten for good reason: Roma's relentless attack and Como's willingness to have a crack make a case for three or more goals on Sunday night.

Same Game Multi angles

For punters chasing a bigger payout, the Same Game Multi board offers some intriguing combinations. Roma to win, Both Teams to Score, and Over 3.5 goals is on offer at $6.00, while the same outcome for Como sits at $5.75. If you fancy a cleaner sheet scenario, Roma to win, Both Teams to Score no, and Over 2.5 goals pays $15.00, with Como's equivalent at $13.00.

The Both Teams to Score legs are the wildcards here: Roma haven't conceded yet, but Como have shown they can score away from home, including against a solid Napoli outfit. The higher-paying combos requiring no BTTS reflect the risk of backing against Roma's defensive record, but they're worth a glance if you think the visitors will keep their clean sheet intact while piling on the goals.
