Gasperini chases 300th Serie A win as unbeaten Roma visit Como
Post
๐ฐ Unbeaten leaders Roma go to Como with Gian Piero Gasperini chasing his 300th Serie A win.
๐ Key points
๐๏ธ The round-six game is at Como's Sinigaglia on Sunday 11 October.
๐ A win would bring Gasperini's 300th Serie A victory.
๐ก๏ธ Roma have four wins and a draw, scoring 14 and conceding three.
๐ Cesc Fร bregas's Como are close behind on 10 points.
๐งฑ Roma have not won away at Como since April 1989.
๐ What happened
๐ก๏ธ Roma have taken 13 points from their first five games and sit level at the top with Inter and Lazio. It is their first unbeaten start over five league games since 2014-15, and they drew 2-2 at home to Inter just before the international break.
๐ Gasperini has 299 Serie A wins. Only four coaches have reached 300: Trapattoni, Allegri, Spalletti and Rocco.
๐งโ๐ผ Fร bregas's Como have won three, drawn one and lost one, leaving them three points behind Roma. They lost 2-0 at Frosinone before the break.
๐ฃ๏ธ Before the break Gasperini said he wanted Roma to start again where they left off, and that he needed to work out how to stop Fร bregas's side.
๐ By the numbers
โข Roma: 13 points (W4 D1), 14 scored, 3 conceded
โข Como: 10 points (W3 D1 L1), 9 scored, 6 conceded
โข Gasperini's Serie A wins: 299
โข 31 meetings: Roma 16 wins, 8 draws, Como 7 wins
๐ What to watch
๐ The 300 mark โ A win would make Gasperini only the fifth coach to reach 300 Serie A wins. Trapattoni holds the record with 352.
๐งฑ Roma's defence โ Three goals conceded in five games is joint second-best in the league. Can it hold up against a Como side that attacks at home?
๐ The Sinigaglia hoodoo โ Como have won their last three home games against Roma. Roma's last win there was a 1-0 in April 1989.
โฝ Malen's goals โ Donyell Malen leads Serie A with six goals in five games. How Como handle him could decide it.
๐ญ Why it matters
Roma need the points to edge clear in a three-way tie at the top, while a Como win would take them level on points with the leaders. Roma host Real Madrid in the Champions League next week.
Kick-off is 12.30pm local time on Sunday 11 October.
