The fifteenth day of Serie A closes with the big match between Roma and Como. Kickoff at 8:45 p.m. at the Stadio Olimpico. After two consecutive knockouts, the Giallorossi are called to react in the league to avoid losing further ground to Inter, Milan and Napoli. On the’other hand, Como will also have to redeem themselves after the drubbing with Inter: a success would take them into the Champions League zone.
