HEAD TO HEAD

Indeed, the Giallorossi had achieved five wins in a row against the larian side in the competition beforehand.

Como have won only one away game against Roma in Serie A, theor first against the Giallorossi in the tournament (1-0 on 23 April 1950). Since then they’ve played 11 matches at the home of the Giallorossi in the tournament, with seven victories for the Capitoline team (including all the last three) and four draws.
