Tactical Preview
Como will likely stick to their trusted 4-2-3-1 formation, aiming to utilize their strong midfield and precise attacking play. Their star striker, N. Paz, has been instrumental, contributing eight goals and six assists this season. On the other side, AS Roma might opt for a 3-4-2-1 setup, looking to create chances through their dynamic wingers and the aerial presence of their center-forward. Key to AS Roma's success will be the ability of M. Soulé to break through Como’s stout defense.

- T. Douvikas (Como): Another standout performer for Como, Douvikas’s 8 goals highlight his scoring threat. He will look to capitalize on any defensive lapses from AS Roma.
- E. Ferguson (AS Roma): Ferguson’s versatility in midfield could be key for AS Roma. His 3 goals and 2 assists make him a dangerous option both offensively and defensively.
