Como preview: Brilliant Como
After a heavy summer of spending in the transfer window, Cesc Fabregas’ Como are pushing for a top six finish and UEFA competition qualification this season, and they have started the Serie A campaign extremely well.
The home team come into this one on the back of a hard-fought and impressive goalless draw with defending champions Napoli at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona in Naples last weekend.
Cagliari preview: Steady Sardinians
Following the appointment of young manager Tommaso Giulini over the summer, Cagliari had started the campaign reasonably well but they are drifting down the table towards their predicted relegation battle.
The Sardinians most recent outing extended their winless run of form to six matches as they suffered a 2-0 defeat to Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome due to goals from Gustav Isaksen and Mattia Zaccagni in the second-half.

Como vs Cagliari prediction
Cagliari will try and play a stubborn style of football. Giullini would believe he can implement a more proactive style as the season goes on but their current form requires a bit more urgency. That should allow Como to dictate the game and, with their abundance of quality in the final third, it is to be expected that the hosts ease themselves into another victory for this one.
