Como host AS Roma in the Italian Serie A ahead of kickoff on Sunday 11 October 2026, and the predicted lineups for this fixture are shaped less by a long injury list than by a single absence. Cesc Fàbregas can pick from a fully available Como squad for this match, while Gian Piero Gasperini has to work around the gap left by Muhammed bah heading into the weekend. The expected XIs below are drawn from how each side has actually lined up recently, not from any official team news released by either club.
Como Predicted Lineup
Our projection has Como lining up in a 4-2-3-1, the shape Cesc Fàbregas prefers as coach. It is a settled side – 11 of the projected XI started their last match – which points to a reasonably consistent group heading into this one. Jacobo Ramón and Yan Couto stand out in particular, with both having started all three of the matches used for this projection, suggesting Fàbregas has had little reason to change his back line of late.
Como predicted XI: Jean Butez; Jacobo Ramón, Yan Couto, Álex Valle, Trevoh Chalobah; Lucas Da Cunha, Nico Paz, Assane Diao Diaoune, Martin Baturina, Luis Milla; Anastasios Douvikas

AS Roma Predicted Lineup
AS Roma are projected in a 3-4-2-1, the formation Gian Piero Gasperini favours as coach. Like their opponents, this is a settled side – 11 of the projected XI started their last match – which gives the expected XI a reasonably predictable look before kickoff. Mile Svilar and Mario Hermoso are the clearest standouts, each having started every one of the three matches used to build this projection.
AS Roma predicted XI: Mile Svilar; Mario Hermoso, Gianluca Mancini, Leonardo Balerdi; Bryan Cristante, Matias Soule, Paulo Dybala, Nahuel Molina, Manu Koné, Wesley Vinícius França Lima; Donyell Malen
| Line | # | Player | Starts in last 3 | Last 3 |

| D | 22 | Mario Hermoso | 3/3 | 3/3 |

Injuries and Suspensions
For Como, no absentees are recorded in the data ahead of this match, leaving every line of the projected team news unaffected by fitness or disciplinary concerns. If Fàbregas does look to the bench, Marc-Oliver Kempf, Maximo Perrone and Moise Kean have each picked up one start in the matches used for this projection and would be the most experienced options to come in.
For AS Roma, Muhammed bah is out injured, which thins Gasperini’s options in central midfield ahead of this fixture. Among the alternatives on the bench, Niccolò Pisilli, Emanuele Lulli and Evan Ndicka each have one start in the matches used here and look best placed to provide cover in that part of the pitch.
| Player | Pos | Status | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| Muhammed bah | M | injured | Jumpers knee |
Where These Predictions Come From
Each predicted lineup here is built from the last three line-ups available for that side, with more recent matches weighted more heavily than older ones. Any player confirmed as injured or suspended is removed from contention before the XI is assembled. This is a projection rather than a confirmed team sheet, and it can change once the official line-ups are announced closer to kickoff.
