Lazio Form Guide: Recent Results & Table Position
Despite receiving an agonizing blow in the shape of Derby della Capitale defeat last Sunday, Lazio refuse to succumb to despair, especially on the club’s 125th birthday. The Biancocelesti have unveiled a retro jersey to commemorate the occasion, and they’re also planning a special ceremony ahead of kickoff.
The Biancocelesti are fourth in the table, but they only won one of their last fourth Serie A fixtures, so they’ll consider Friday’s contest as an inviting opportunity to return to winning ways, especially with the contest taking place at the Stadio Olimpico against an opponent residing in the bottom half of the table.
Como Form Guide: Recent Results & Table Position
At the start of the season, many observers were left to wonder what to make of Como and their survival chances. The ultra-rich Serie A new boys made some interesting additions to their squad in the summer, between top-notch youngsters like Nico Paz, and savvy veterans like Sergio Roberto and Pepe Reina.
And now that we’re halfway through the campaign, it’s clear that the Lombardians have what it takes to remain in the top flight. Como currently reside in 16th place in the table, but many would argue they could have been higher in the standings had they pounced on their chances. Nevertheless, their results are now on the up, as they only lost one of their last five meetings (against Inter) in a run that includes a win over Roma.
