Como 1907 vs Sassuolo Calcio 24 October 2026 Prediction

  Prediction by   Gevorg Danielyan     October 23, 2026 

Como performed well against Manchester United in midweek. Now Cesc Fàbregas’s side faces Sassuolo at home, where it has won four of its last five competitive matches and drawn the other.

Como Handles a Busy Schedule

Despite concerns about playing in multiple competitions, Como has started this season better than last year. The team has dropped points only twice in its last six Serie A matches. In the Champions League, it beat RB Leipzig and Manchester United 4-1 at home, with a 3-2 loss at Feyenoord. Como is particularly effective in possession when opponents give it time to build attacks.

Injuries are a concern ahead of the next league game. Fàbregas will be without two attacking options on the right, Assane Diao and Jesús Rodríguez. Mattia Liberali, who opened the scoring against Fiorentina in the previous Serie A round, and starting center back Trevoh Chalobah are also questionable.

Sassuolo Has Defensive Concerns

Alberto Aquilani’s Sassuolo has been inconsistent. It beat Juventus 3-2 and drew 1-1 with Milan, but lost to newly promoted Frosinone 4-2 and Monza 2-1. Against stronger opponents, Sassuolo defends in a mid-block and looks to counterattack. It rarely presses high, which could give Como room to build from the back. Goalkeeper Arijanet Muric has also made several costly errors this season.

Sassuolo is not playing in Europe, but it has injury problems of its own. Starting center backs Jay Idzes and Fedde Leysen are both unavailable. Aquilani has had to use Cas Odenthal and Duje Ćaleta-Car in their place. Both pose a threat on set pieces, but they have been prone to defensive mistakes.

Como vs Sassuolo Prediction: Como Handicap -1.5

Main pick: Como has been strong at home, while Sassuolo’s limited pressing should give the hosts space to build attacks. Sassuolo’s makeshift back line and goalkeeper have made mistakes under pressure, including against Monza and Frosinone. Aquilani’s side has also taken just one point from four Serie A away games, a 2-2 draw with Bologna. The pick is Como -1.5 handicap at 2.23.

Goals pick: Como has kept just one clean sheet in 10 competitive matches this season. Sassuolo’s Serie A games have averaged 3.71 goals, the third-highest figure in the league. An additional pick is over 3.5 total goals at 2.14.
