Alternatives Following a Lucas Da Cunha opening, Alexis Saelemaekers and Artem Dovbyk completed Roma's comeback against 10-man Como to win Serie A for the fourth time in a row.

Since their most recent encounter with Como, a 2-0 loss on December 15, the Giallorossi have won seven Serie A games and drawn three. Although Dovbyk had still not fully recovered, Mats Hummels was benched once again and Matias Soulè was shifted to a wide right position. Como had just defeated Fiorentina and Napoli in back-to-back games, but coach Cesc Fabregas was suspended from the game due to injuries to Alberto Dossena, Ivan Azon, and Ignace van der Brempt. Marc Kempf nodded a Lucas Da Cunha cross over the bar from a short corner, while Paulo Dybala fired straight at Jean Butez with his weaker right foot on the Soule lay-off.
