Como are scoring freely again
Como have won 3, drawn 1 and lost 2 of their last 6 matches in all competitions, taking 10 points, with 11 scored and 8 conceded. The 4-1 win over Manchester United was the high point, and the 3-1 win away to Fiorentina 6 days before this match was arguably the more useful result.
The dip behind that run was real, though. Como lost 0-2 away to Frosinone 34 days before this match and drew 0-0 at home to AS Roma 13 days before it, so two of their last six ended with no Como goal at all. They've scored 2 or more in 4 of 6 and kept 1 clean sheet.
At home they've won 2 of their last 3. Away, 1 of 3.
Sassuolo cannot keep the ball out
Sassuolo have conceded 2 or more goals in 5 of their last 6 matches and kept 0 clean sheets in that run. They've scored 14 and conceded 15 across those six, which is a defence leaking faster than a decent forward line can cover.
The results split oddly. Sassuolo beat Juventus 3-2 at home 41 days before this match and drew 1-1 with AC Milan at home 13 days before it, both creditable. Either side of that came a 1-2 loss away to Monza, a 2-2 draw away to Bologna and the 2-4 at Frosinone. Won 2, drawn 2, lost 2 for 8 points against Como's 10.
The travelling record is the number that matters here: Sassuolo have won 0 of their last 3 away matches. Both teams scored in all 6 of their last 6 games.
The last Como vs Sassuolo meeting
Sassuolo beat Como 2-1 at home in Serie A 190 days before this match, on 17 April 2026. That is the reference point for Saturday, and it was Sassuolo's ground rather than Como's.
Team news
Como are without Jesus Rodriguez, who Fabregas described as "quite serious" and facing a long absence, along with Trevoh Chalobah for at least two weeks and Assane Diao with a thigh problem, per Fabregas's pre-match comments. Mattia Liberali is expected back from a shin complaint and Moise Kean could feature if fit enough, while Sassuolo are missing Ismael Kone, Jay Idzes, Daniel Boloca and Fedde Leysen, with Sebastiano Esposito and Kieron Bowie in contention for the same forward role, according to Sports Mole.

Como vs Sassuolo prediction
Our prediction is a Como win over Sassuolo in Serie A at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia on Saturday, 24 October 2026, with goals at both ends. Como have taken 10 points from their last 6 to Sassuolo's 8, and they've won 2 of 3 at home while Sassuolo have won none of their last 3 on the road.
Sassuolo will score. They have found the net in all 6 of their last 6 and failed to score in none of them. But a side that has conceded twice or more in 5 of 6, against a Como attack that has hit 2 or more in 4 of 6, is going to concede here too.
Our prediction: Como 3-1 Sassuolo
