Como vs Sassuolo Prediction - Oct 24, 2026

Como vs Sassuolo prediction: goals expected by the lake

This Como vs Sassuolo prediction points toward an open Serie A game at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia on October 24, 2026. Kickoff is set for 14:00 GMT, with Como strongly backed to win but Sassuolo carrying enough attacking threat to keep the afternoon interesting.

Como return home with confidence and tired legs

Como have made an excellent start to the 2026-27 season under Cesc Fàbregas. They sit fifth in Serie A with 14 points from seven matches, and their recent results explain why the home betting odds are so short.

A 3-1 league victory over Fiorentina was followed by a remarkable 4-1 Champions League win against Manchester United on October 21. That European result will have lifted confidence around the club, although it also leaves Como with only a short recovery period before facing Sassuolo.

Fàbregas usually wants his team to control the ball, build patiently and move opponents from side to side. Against Sassuolo, the main question is whether Como can maintain that tempo after such an intense European night. Rotation may be needed, but their squad depth should help. Como’s estimated squad value of €568.15 million is considerably higher than Sassuolo’s €219.10 million.

The hosts should still try to take control early. With full-backs pushing forward and midfielders looking for spaces around the penalty area, Como can force Sassuolo into a narrow defensive shape. That would create room for crosses, cutbacks and shots from the edge of the box.

Sassuolo have already shown they can upset the odds

Sassuolo arrive as clear outsiders, but writing them off would be risky. On September 13, 2026, they defeated Juventus 3-2 despite being priced at 5.40. That result showed two sides of their game: they can hurt strong teams in transition, but their matches can also become stretched.
