Come and Roma: Probable line-ups for Serie A’s sixth-round clash

Come will host Serie A leaders AS Roma on Sunday, 11 October 2026, with kick-off scheduled for 10:30 GMT. Both managers are expected to retain the systems that have shaped their sides this season.

Come

Cesc Fabregas is likely to stick with his preferred 4-2-3-1 formation as Come look to take advantage of home support and end Roma’s impressive start to the campaign.

The Spanish coach has almost a full squad available for the sixth-round fixture. Aside from a few minor fitness concerns, Come’s group is complete, giving Fabregas a wide range of attacking options against the league leaders.

Butez is expected to start in goal, with Couto, Ramon, Trevoh Chalobah and Valle forming the back four.

Milla and Da Cunha should operate in the deeper midfield positions, while Assane Diao, Nico Paz and Baturina are set to play behind the main striker.

Douvikas is the anticipated starting centre-forward.

Come probable XI

Goalkeeper: Butez

Defenders: Couto, Ramon, Trevoh Chalobah, Valle

Midfielders: Milla, Da Cunha, Assane Diao, Nico Paz, Baturina

Forward: Douvikas

Roma

Gian Piero Gasperini is expected to select AS Roma in their established 3-4-2-1 shape. With possession, that system can develop into a 3-6-1, allowing Roma to commit more players into midfield and maintain pressure on their opponents.

The approach has contributed to Roma having the best attack in Serie A. The packed midfield is designed to restrict Come’s options while supplying the forward at the top of the formation.

Svilar should keep his place in goal, protected by a three-man defence of Mancini, Balerdi and Hermoso.

Rensch and Wesley are likely to provide the width, with Kone and Molina operating centrally. Dybala and Malen are expected to play in the advanced midfield roles behind Soule.

Soule is set to lead the Roma attack as the lone centre-forward.

The match forms part of the sixth round of the Italian championship. The quoted pre-match odds are 2.62 for a Come victory, 3.71 for a draw and 2.75 for an AS Roma win.
