Como vs Lazio

No player provided more assists than Nuno Tavares this season in Europe's top five leagues: eight. The last Serie A defender to have served more winning passes in a single season was Pablo Armero (10 in 2011/12).

 

Valentín Castellanos, Lazio's best scorer in this Serie A (with five goals in six games), had not yet found the way to the away goal in the current tournament. With this multiple marking the Argentine striker surpassed his score from last season (four goals in 35 appearances).

Lazio have won their last two Serie A meetings with Como (in the 2002-03 season), after the Lombardy were unbeaten in their three previous matches against the Biancocelesti in the competition (W2 D1).

Lazio won their last Serie A away match against Como in November 2002 (3-1 with a brace from Claudio Lopez and a goal from Diego Simeone), after having achieved just one success in their first seven away games against the Larians in the top-flight (D2 L4).

Como are unbeaten at home in Serie A this term (W1 D2): the last time they avoided defeat in their first four home games of a Serie A season was in 1986-87 (one win and three draws on that occasion).

Lazio have won their last six Serie A matches against newly promoted teams, while they can record their longest such streak since January 2020 (13 on that occasion).

Como have nine points in Serie A this season, five more than during their last participation in Serie A after nine games (four in 2002-03). However, the Larians have not recorded a single clean sheet at this stage of the season for the third time in their Serie A history, after 1981-82 and 2002-03, editions in which they also conceded on their 10th match.
