Expected score: Como 2-1 Sassuolo
Como host Sassuolo in Serie A's eighth round, a fixture that pits the league's fifth-placed side against a struggling visitor. The hosts come into this match on the back of an impressive away victory, while Sassuolo arrive depleted by injury. At Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia, Como will be favoured to extend their strong start to the season.
Team form
Como
Como have been one of Serie A's standout performers. Over their last five games, they have won three times, drawn once, and lost once, scoring 9 goals and conceding just 5. Their most recent outing saw them beat Fiorentina 3-1 away from home, a result that underlines their attacking threat. The side averages 1.71 goals scored per game this season, paired with a miserly 1.00 conceded—the kind of balance that builds championship credentials. Cesc Fàbregas has his team playing controlled football; in their last match they kept 54% possession and created 1.83 expected goals from eight shots on target.
Sassuolo
Sassuolo are struggling by comparison. From their last five matches, they have won once, drawn twice, and lost twice, scoring 9 goals but conceding 11. The defensive fragility is evident: they concede 2.00 per game on average this season, double Como's rate. Their most recent fixture, a 4-2 loss at Frosinone, exposed serious vulnerabilities. Injuries compound the problem—Sassuolo are without Ismail Koné, Davide Boloca, and three other players, leaving coach Aquilani with a threadbare squad. Even in their last outing, they managed only 1.94 expected goals from six shots on target despite holding 58% possession.
Head-to-head
The head-to-head record strongly favours Como. In their last three meetings, Como have won twice at home (3-0 and 2-0) and lost once away (1-2). That run of dominance, combined with home advantage and current form, gives Como a significant psychological edge.
Key factors
Como's defensive solidity will be tested by a Sassuolo side that has conceded heavily in recent weeks, but the visitors' injury crisis—particularly the absence of Koné and Boloca—severely limits their ability to compete in midfield. Como's attacking players, led by Nicolò Paz (who scored and assisted in the last match) and Thierry Douvikas, should find space. Sassuolo's Domenico Berardi and Kristian Thorstvedt scored in their last game but face a Como defence that has conceded just one goal in their last two matches. The bookmakers price over 2.5 goals at 1.44, reflecting an expectation of an open contest.
Prediction
Como are the favourite here. They sit fifth with 14 points from seven games, have won three of their last five, and boast a superior goal difference. Sassuolo, in 13th place with 8 points, are in crisis—their defensive record this season is poor, and they arrive without several key players. At home, with recent form and a head-to-head advantage, Como should control this match. Sassuolo may score—they have shown attacking capability—but Como's attacking potency and defensive discipline make them the more likely winner.
Como are favourites to win. Expect a match where the hosts dominate possession and create the clearer chances, though Sassuolo's attacking threat means both teams are likely to score. A Como victory with goals at both ends represents the most probable outcome.
