Como vs Sassuolo Match Summary
Competition | Italian Serie A |

Venue (City, Stadium) | Giuseppe Sinigaglia |
Como vs Sassuolo pits a top-five side against a team in the bottom half of the Serie A table, and the hosts carry plenty of momentum into Saturday's kick-off.
Fabregas's Como arrive on the back of a 4-1 hammering of Manchester United in the Champions League, a result that underlined the attacking quality this squad now carries.
Sassuolo started the season brightly but have slowed down a bit of late, and they arrive with a relegation battle very much on their minds.
Previous meetings tilt towards Como, who have two wins against this opponent. Sassuolo have beaten them once, and none of those meetings has finished level.
Como vs Sassuolo Form
Como have lost just once in their last 12 Serie A fixtures, which is title-chasing consistency rather than a flash in the pan. In Europe they dismantled Manchester United, with Nico Paz scoring twice and Douvikas and Ramón also on target. Paz is the man who makes this side tick, and everything good about Como runs through him.
Sassuolo games rarely stay quiet, with six of their last seven Serie A outings producing over 2.5 goals. Their early-season 3-2 league win over Juventus showed their ceiling, yet the momentum has cooled since. Berardi and Laurienté carry the threat out wide, with individual skill and counter-attacks their main weapons.
Como vs Sassuolo Lineups & Team News
Injuries & Suspensions
Como: A. Diao (Injured/out), J. Rodríguez (Injured/out), T. Chalobah (Injured/out), M. Kean (Doubtful), M. Liberali (Doubtful)
Sassuolo: F. Leysen (Injured/out), I. Koné (Injured/out), J. Idzes (Injured/out), D. Boloca (Injured/out)
Como
Fabregas has some attacking problems, with Jesus Rodríguez out for a couple of months and both Moise Kean and Liberali doubts. Caqueret should step in behind Douvikas, alongside Nico Paz and Baturina, while Da Cunha and Perrone are favoured over Milla in the engine room. Kempf and Ramón pair up at centre-back with Chalobah out, Kaiki gets the nod over Valle at left-back and Couto plays on the right. Butez is confirmed in goal, the one certainty in the probable Como vs Sassuolo lineups for the hosts.
Sassuolo
Aquilani is without Idzes and Leysen, so Caleta-Car and Odenthal form the centre-back pairing, with Cinquegrano and Doig at full-back. Matic remains in command of midfield, supported by Thorstvedt and Adzic, with Bakola left out. There is no change in the attacking trident of Laurienté, Berardi and Sebastiano Esposito, while Boloca is also out injured.

Como vs Sassuolo Prediction & Best Bets
Our prediction: Como 3-1 Sassuolo. The hosts are the clear favourites here, and that reflects the gulf in quality, with Paz pulling the strings behind Douvikas. Sassuolo have enough going forward to nick a goal, especially with Chalobah missing from the home defence, but our Como vs Sassuolo prediction is a comfortable home win built on Como's attacking firepower.
Best Bets
Both Teams To Score: Yes. Como should create plenty, and Sassuolo have enough attacking threat to score too. Our numbers put both teams scoring at a 67% implied probability, the strongest of our Como vs Sassuolo best bets. Como are short of Chalobah at the back and are not good at stopping opponents creating opportunities, which is an open invitation to Berardi and Laurienté.
Total Goals Over/Under: Over 3.5 goals. The projected total sits above the line. Our projections land on 3.81 total goals, with Como doing the bulk of the damage, so this line looks set a touch low. Both sides are missing defenders, and Sassuolo's outings have been anything but stubborn affairs.
Como vs Sassuolo Bet Builder
Our Como vs Sassuolo bet builder tips lean on Sassuolo's attacking intent and Como's volume of shots, combining an Adzic goal, Laurienté and Berardi shooting legs and two Como goals.
Vasilije Adzic to score anytime. The midfielder has found the net in three of his last four outings, and he is set to start alongside Matic and Thorstvedt.
Armand Laurienté to have over 2.5 shots. Sassuolo attack down the left and take plenty of shots, and he has cleared this mark on five occasions from his last seven games.
Domenico Berardi to have over 0.5 shots on target. The forward has hit this target five times in his last six matches, and Como are vulnerable against skilful players.
Como to score over 1.5 goals. They have fired in 16 or more shots across the whole of their last seven Serie A matches, and Paz gives that volume a cutting edge.
At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 18/1 and is as short as 10/1 elsewhere.

Como vs Sassuolo Talking Points
The big question is whether Como's legs hold up after their European exertions, because fatigue could take a toll. Sassuolo are rated strong on the counter, and defending counter-attacks is exactly where the hosts look most exposed, so Laurienté and Berardi will fancy their afternoon. Even so, Nico Paz is the difference. He has recorded 2+ shots on target in three separate outings from his last three Serie A appearances, and if he finds space between the lines this could turn messy for the visitors. The Como vs Sassuolo betting odds have Sassuolo at 5/1 with Paddy Power, and on balance that feels about right.
