Serie A, Sunday, 02.03.2025 at 18:00
In my AS Roma Como betting tip, I dare to go for slightly higher odds. More precisely, a 2.25, which we get using the Bwin configurator if we mix the “Double chance 1X” and the goal of both teams.
The team around Mats Hummels is in good form and has hardly lost a game in recent months. However, we haven’t seen a steady stream of white vests and the upcoming opponent is sure-footed. Let’s go to an interesting Serie A match!
What AS Roma are offering in 2025 is something to be proud of. The change of coach is bearing fruit. Under Claudio Ranieri, the capital city club has only lost two of its last 16 competitive matches.
In the isolated second half of the season table, Roma are at the top of the table. Due to the poor results in the first half of the season, however, it will be difficult to achieve more than a Conference League place.
They are seven points off the Europa League places and even nine points off the top four before the start of matchday 27.
Or they could pull off a mega coup in the Europa League. After all, the title winner qualifies for the top flight. The Romans recently defeated Porto in a close fight and reached the round of 16.
This was followed by a resounding 4:0 against bottom club Monza. Roma will start with odds of 1.93 against Como, and the bookmakers are taking a cautious approach. Como are only regarded as slight underdogs at 4.00, with a draw a little more realistic: 4.50.
You know my tips, I’m very conservative with the 1X2 market and this time I’m not picking any of these odds either, hedging myself for at least two of the three events using “double chance 1X”.
Rome is known to be very difficult to beat at home in the Olympic Stadium. The team from Europe’s oldest capital came third in the home rankings, only four times coming away empty-handed.
And Como have not exactly been successful when traveling. Two three-pointers from 13 appearances, with only Parma, Monza and Venice scoring less in front of their own fans.
The team from Lombardy are back in Serie A for the first time since 2002/03 and have come up trumps in the last two matchdays, beating Fiorentina (2-0) and championship hopefuls Napoli (2-1).
A game with a clean sheet is something of a rarity. To be more precise, it has only been achieved against Florence in 2025, which was also the first clean sheet in an away game this season.
41 goals conceded in total, one of the worst figures. However, the Serie A returnees do not have to worry about relegation at the moment. In contrast to the other teams further down the table, the men in blue are scoring reliably.
We are talking about 32 goals, the best figure outside the top 10. 2025 only failed to score against Bologna. They suffered a 2:0 defeat there. However, the promoted team played outnumbered for over a half.
Something is coming for the Romans. I’m not convinced about the clean sheet. In terms of shots on goal, Como actually had more than the hosts over the entire match.
Como are among the top six in Serie A in terms of the number of chances created, with Assane Diao scoring three times in a row. The right winger arrived from Betis Sevilla in the winter and has made a rocket start.
He has strong 5.25 odds for a goal against Roma at Bwin, where you can easily top up your account via PayPal. He knows how to score against top clubs. After all, he has scored against Juventus, Florence and Napoli.
Keep an eye on Oddset’s odds boosts in this regard. They regularly offer increased odds on goalscorer bets.
Como won the first leg 2:0. The team coached by soccer icon Cesc Fabregas only scored the two goals in stoppage time, a deserved home win given the course of the game.
However, playing in Rome is a whole different ball game. Especially as the hosts are much more settled under Ranieri and can almost draw on a full complement of players. Only Artem Dobvyk is missing through injury.
Conclusion: Both teams have recorded victories in the last two matchdays. It was impressive what the newly promoted team showed against Juventus, Napoli and Florence.
That’s why the home win odds are too hot for me, despite the fabulous odds. Rome have been much more stable since the change of manager, have only lost two of their last 16 matches and are strong at home.
However, I expect the visitors to make life difficult for the favorites once again, perhaps even scoring a 1:1 or 2:2. With the unerring Diao in the ranks, I dare to make the following combination bet!
