Prediction Como vs Lazio 2025/2026 – Betting Tips for the Serie A on 24/08/2025

Match context and storyline

Como welcome Lazio to the intimate Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia on 24 August in what promises to be one of the more intriguing openers of the Serie A season. The Como fans will pack a ground with just under 8,000 seats and hope the recent run of sparkling form carries into the league campaign. Under the fresh lights of late August, Gianluca Manganiello will take charge, and both teams head into the fixture with distinct pre-season narratives: Como looking buoyant after a series of confident results, while Lazio arrive having produced mixed signals in preparation for the new term.

How both sides shape up heading into kickoff

Como’s recent results read like a small-club thriller: decisive wins against Südtirol and an eye-catching 3-2 victory away at Real Betis in the warm-weather period, alongside a 3-0 triumph over Ajax that suggests the side can score in bursts. Their form graphic boasts seven wins, a draw and only two defeats across the last ten outings — a streak that feeds optimism around Como’s ability to start strong at home. Nico Paz’s performance in the Coppa Italia win over Südtirol drew praise and will be one of the names supporters cite as a catalyst for their attacking verve.

Lazio’s summer revealed resilience but also inconsistency. A 2-2 draw with Galatasaray and a handful of stalemates back home underline a team comfortable sharing the spoils but less effective at converting chances into steady victories. The club’s recent results include narrow defeats and a procession of draws that hint at defensive solidity but also an endpoint deficiency when needing to push for three points. Matteo Cancellieri’s contribution in the draw with Galatasaray was notable, but overall Lazio’s preparation has been more stop-start than seamless.

What to expect on the night

Tactically, the game should be lively. Como’s attacking output in the immediate run-up to the season suggests they will look to press and create chances early, using the compact home atmosphere to their advantage. Lazio, prone to draws and low-scoring affairs in recent fixtures, may try to absorb pressure and strike on the counter. The January Serie A meeting between these sides ended 1-1, a reminder that this pairing can be tight, but recent form tilts the balance.

Betting suggestion

Based on the available data — Como’s superior recent form, strong pre-season scoring, home advantage at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia, and the match odds that still value a home success at 2.40 — the recommended selection is a 1X2 bet: back Como to win. The market reflects a decent value opportunity: Como’s momentum and attacking confidence make them a believable upset against a Lazio side that has drawn frequently and struggled for consistency.
