Como preview: Brilliant Como
In midweek, Como hammered Manchester United by four goals to one in the league phase of the UEFA Champions League by Lake Como with a brace from Nico Paz as well as strikes scored by Tasos Douvikas and Jacobo.
Como have suffered just one defeat in their opening seven matches in Serie A and after a brief two-match winless run either side of the international break, they eased to a comfortable 3-1 victory at Stadio Artemio Franchi against Fiorentina last weekend.
Sassuolo preview: Steady Sassuolo
Following the departure of the now sacked Fabio Grosso to the aforementioned big spending Fiorentina over the summer, Sassuolo have remained steady at the start of this season now under the management of Alberto Aquilani.
The former Liverpool midfielder most recently oversaw an entertaining but a frustrating 4-2 defeat to surprise package and high-flying newly-promoted Frosinone at Stadio Benito Stripe in Rome last weekend.

Sassuolo team news: Nothing new
There are no fresh injury concerns for Sassuolo to deal with as they travel to Lake Como with Fedde Leysen remaining sidelined alongside Jay Idzes, Yeferson Paz, Daniel Boloca and Ismael Kone – with the latter suffering a leg break for Canada at FIFA World Cup 2026.

Como vs Sassuolo prediction
Sassuolo have been entertaining to watch throughout the opening couple of months of this campaign with their seven matches in Serie A having consisted of 26 goals. They head to a Como side that remain a front foot and proactive team looking to push themselves back into the top four and the hosts are favourites but both teams scoring also seems a decent bet for this one this weekend.
