Como to edge another tight clash with Sassuolo
Cesc Fabregas has brought a more technical and structured game to Calcio Como, which has delivered solid results on the road. His team have won 7, drawn 5 and lost only 3 of their 15 Serie A away matches in 2025-2026 and are set to edge Friday’s game against Sassuolo.
Como sit fifth in Serie A with 58 points from 32 games, while Sassuolo are 11th with 42 points after 32 fixtures. Como have dominated the head-to-head matchup recently, winning both Serie A clashes with Sassuolo, including a 2-0 victory at home four months ago.
Como’s structured, possession-first approach of 4-2-3-1 morphs into a 4-4-2 away from the ball as the visitors aim to dominate possession and create the conditions to break lines by controlling the ball patiently and using numbers to overload areas of the pitch.
Sassuolo’s 4-3-3 is an aggressive, high-tempo system designed by Fabio Grosso to allow his team to transition quickly from attack to defence and back again. It has not always worked, with the Neroverdi showing inconsistent form at home recently, winning one and losing one of their last two matches.
Both teams to score bet is a tough call
Sassuolo’s high line and aggressive pressing tactics may play into Como’s hands, as the home side are likely to get caught out again by a side that are precise, vertical and capable of rotating players into positions where they can damage the opposition.
With odds of 1.66 about an away win, which looks quite generous given Como’s form and road record, it could be worth taking the underdog. The odds of 2.0 for both teams to fail to score is equally appealing given the likely lack of goals in this contest.
The Neroverdi have scored 19 times in 16 home matches, while Calcio Como have scored 22 in 15 away this season. Como are the more disciplined of the two sides and should have enough quality to nick it, but Sassuolo are not goal-shy and will score a goal.
Expect a close, cagey game, but Como’s tactical discipline and recent head-to-head dominance should see them claim all three points in this match.
