The starting XIs highlighted two contrasting tactical systems as Como, under Cesc Fàbregas, deployed a fluid 4-4-2 formation that prioritised technical ball progression and creative rotations. Jean Butez maintained his position in goal, shielded by a defensive line featuring Hrvoje Smolčić, Jacobo Ramón, Diego Carlos, and Alex Valle, a quartet tasked with maintaining a high line and initiating play from the back. The midfield engine room was anchored by Maxence Caqueret and Máximo Perrone, who provided the structural pivot for Lucas da Cunha and Martin Baturina to operate with more creative freedom. Up front, Nico Paz was granted a roaming role to support Jesús Rodríguez, a partnership that proved clinical in a dominant away performance.

Lazio, managed by Maurizio Sarri, opted for a structured 4-1-4-1 framework designed to control the tempo through a defined midfield anchor. Ivan Provedel . . .
