Castellanos Aims For First Away Goal Of The Season Against Como

Lazio’s season resumes tonight at 20:45 local time, as Marco Baroni’s team heads to Como’s home ground. Despite an uncertain start in terms of results, Cesc Fabregas’s Como has shown solid performances, with emerging talents like Nico Paz and revitalized players like Patrick Cutrone and Gabriel Strefezza. Fresh off a solid win over Genoa at the Olimpico, Lazio aims to reclaim victory on the road in Lombardy, something they last achieved on September 29 against Torino.

Lazio's away record has been underwhelming, impacted by performances from key players, especially the forwards. Taty Castellanos exemplifies this challenge—while his involvement in creating space for Dia and his goal attempts have been notable, he has yet to score an away goal this season. This lack of scoring is puzzling given his strong performances, like his Europa League brace against Nice. The Argentine forward remains goalless away from home, and his impact has varied. For instance, he missed two clear chances on the break in the Torino match, which could have ended his drought. Against Juventus, Lazio played defensively after being reduced to ten men for most of the game, prioritizing a draw for morale over attacking opportunities.

Castellanos has also gone without a goal in the Europa League, partly due to limited playing time. Substituted in the second half against Dinamo Kiev, he came on late against Feyenoord, winning a penalty that was ultimately overturned by VAR.
