Como vs Lazio Predicted Lineups: Cesc Fabregas Set To Feature Host Of Changes Following Busy Summer Window

Como play host to Lazio for their opening game of the Serie A season and we have looked into the predicted lineups for Sunday evening’s clash.

Como vs Lazio Preview

Cesc Fabregas has enjoyed a strong summer transfer window ahead of his second-season as Como manager, with the financial backing coming after a strong Serie A campaign last year.

Como finished 10th on their return to Serie A, earning promotion from Serie B in the previous year and ending a 20-year absence from Italy’s first division.

The Italian side spent over $100 million, bringing in Jesus Rodriguez, Nicolas Kuhn, Martin Baturina, Jayden Addai, Maximo Perrone, Alex Valle, Ignace Van der Brempt, Jacobo Ramon, Luca Mazzitelli, Fellipe Jack, Alvaro Morata and Henrique Menke – with the final two signing on loan.

Another feature of Como’s summer window is how well they have done to keep a hold of their star players, but I Lariani did lose Gabriel Strefezza to Olympiacos.

Cesc Fabregas has also confirmed that Ivan Azon will be leaving the club to join Ipswich Town on loan for the 2025/26 season, while Alieu Fadera also joined Sassuolo on a season-long deal.

Como’s opponents for the opening weekend of Serie A action have not been as busy in this summer window, as Maurizio Sarri’s side were handed a transfer embargo following some financial problems.

This means the Laziali have not added any fresh additions this summer, but were able to bring in Nicolò Rovella, Luca Pellegrini, Nuno Tavares, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru and Samuel Gigot on a permanent basis following their loan spells last season.

Lazio’s pre-season run has shown some positive signs, losing just one of their five encounters and earning wins against Premier League side, Burnley.

Last season, Como and Lazio met for the first time since 02/03, with Maurizio Sarri ‘s side winning 5-1 away from home and then playing out a 1-1 draw later in the season.

Como have never beaten Lazio in a Serie A meeting, meaning Cesc Fabregas has the chance to make history with a win in only his second year as a full-time professional manager.

Cesc Fabregas has a small injury list to consider ahead of Sunday’s clash, as Alberto Dossena, Alessandro Gabrielloni and Nicholas Kuhn are all set to miss out.

The latter joined Como after completing a $20 million move from Celtic in July and was the clubs’ record signing before Jesus Rodriguez arrived for around $25m.

Earning a place in the starting eleven will be a hard task for the Como players this season after the clubs’ huge overhaul, but Nico Paz is set to be the clubs’ bright spark after staying for another season despite interest from Real Madrid.

Lazio Team News

Unlike club rivals, Roma, who saw their new signing Leon Bailey suffer an injury in his opening training session, Lazio have a fairly strong squad going into the match against Como.

However, the Laziali do have a slight problem in central defense as Samuel Gigot and Patric are both set to miss out through injury, while Alessio Romagnoli will be absent through suspension.

Matias Vecino and Gustav Isaksen are also doubts for Sunday’s match, as the duo continue to recover from injuries that impacted their availability in pre-season.
