Recent performance last 5 · schedule
Expected points come from each pre-match EloLambda forecast (3 × win chance + draw chance). Explains recent results; in our tests recent form did not add predictive value on top of the model. Rest, travel and schedule load are context; only High Congestion (4+ matches in 14 days) changes the forecast. Full schedule below.

Squad & lineups
Last XI is the club's most recent recorded starting lineup, Confirmed XI is the official lineup for this match. We do not publish a predicted lineup. Players in red are reported missing for this match.
Key absences- ATT M. Kean Rotation 6.68 Att −6.1%
- DEF I. Smolčić Rotation 6.78 Def −2.9%
- MID B. Cristante Starter 7.02 Att −10.9% Def −7.6%
- Como+0.5 pp
- Draw-0.1 pp
- AS Roma-0.4 pp
From eScored squad data: each player's weight is his role (core 3, starter 2, rotation 1, depth 0.5) times his share of minutes. Defenders and keepers count to the defence line, forwards to attack, midfielders half to each. EloLambda turns the lost share into fewer goals scored and more conceded (weight 0.1); the totals show how that moves the result chances.
