Como could get a result
Calcio Como have the momentum to make a statement on Friday night against Sassuolo, having won 3 of their last 5 Serie A fixtures. Cesc Fabregas has continued to build on Como’s European ambitions with his structured, possession-based system this season, but their tactical flexibility and solid away record makes them a real threat this weekend.
Fabregas’ 4-2-3-1 setup has the ability to become a compact 4-4-2 when out of possession, as they seek to dominate the ball and pick apart the opposition. In Anastasios Douvikas (11 goals in 32 Serie A appearances this season), Como have Serie A’s most clinical player, and they’ll hope that he can come good again this weekend.
Sassuolo, on the other hand, have Andrea Pinamonti, who has 8 in 30 in Serie A, 2 of them in the Neroverdi’s last 5 games. Fabio Grosso has set up his team with an adventurous, high-tempo 4-3-3, which is aimed at quickly transitioning from attack to defence, whilst the wide attackers offer plenty of width.
Grosso’s team have struggled for results lately, but at home, they’ve split their last 2 (W1, L1), and it’s hard to say for sure which Sassuolo will show up this Friday. Como, however, have avoided defeat in their last 2 away games, picking up a win and a draw, and their ability to adapt will see them through.
Como to continue recent winning run
Como have won both of their most recent Serie A head-to-heads against Sassuolo, winning 2-0 at home 4 months ago. Sassuolo’s high line and high-pressing style can leave them vulnerable, and Como’s patient build-up play can break lines.
The Neroverdi have scored 19 goals in their 16 home games this Serie A season, whilst Como have netted 22 times in 15 on the road. However, the tight nature of this game, Como’s recent form, their dominance in their recent head-to-heads, and their superior away record make odds of 33/50 for an away win seem like a good price.
We expect Como’s disciplined structure and Sassuolo’s inconsistent attack to mean that at least one of these teams won’t score, so we’re also taking Under 2.5 goals at 1/1.
