A disappointed match, today at 6pm between Como and Rome. The two teams are playing below their expectations. They are found in the right column of the ranking, together with other teams, enclosed in very few points. The Como team, even after the draw in Venice, have to deal with the injured players. “Sala got hurt in the last match and we have no substitutes in that role, I can choose by adapting one between Iovine and Goldniga, which gives me greater security in the defensive phase – analyzes Fabregas -. In midfield Sergi is ready, but he only has 10 /15' in his legs, I'll put him in at the end and I hope to let him play 60' against Inter.”
Mazzitelli and Da Cunha should start in midfield, but Egelhardt also has some chance of starting. “The young German is an investment of the club, he is growing from game to game, and is replacing Perrone well. In midfield, players are missing due to injury who recover the ball and restart the action. I hope to recover Sergi and Kone quickly and completely”, the technician replies. The formation will not be changed and Belotti will start in attack in place of Cutrone. “Andrea is a top-class striker, he is finding his way back to scoring and will be useful to us against his former teammates – continues Fabregas – Ranieri? Facing his teams is never easy, with Chelsea I scored two goals against Leicester coached by him , but then they won the championship. I am a young coach, he has great experience and managed to improve Roma at the beginning of the season. I saw their match in the Cup, against Braga, and it was a different Roma than usual to win we will have to enter with a fighting spirit from the 1st minute, the mentality will be decisive.”
Sinigaglia will be completely sold out, Roma haven't played there since 1989, the match played in 2003 was on the neutral ground in Piacenza, due to the disqualification of the Lariani pitch. On that occasion De Rossi made his Serie A debut, while Falcao played his first match in Italy, against Como at the Sinigaglia on 14 September 1980.
(4-2-3-1) : Reina; Van Der Brempt, Dossena, Kempf, Goldaniga; Mazzitelli, Da Cunha; Strefezza, Nico Paz, Fadera; Belotti.
