Como’s six-point advantage over Sassuolo meets a clear home-and-away contrast: Como have conceded once at home, while Sassuolo have lost three away games and kept no away clean sheets. Key absences and doubts could shape the contest.
Before kickoff
The question at Sinigaglia
Can Como’s home defence withstand Sassuolo’s stronger away scoring record? In Serie A’s provisional standings, Como are ranked #5 with 14 points from 7 games, while Sassuolo are ranked #13 with 8 points from 7 games. Como are six points ahead. The match is scheduled for Saturday, October 24, 2026, at 13:00 UTC at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia; Davide Di Marco is the referee.
Como’s home record is 1 win, 1 draw and 0 losses. They have scored 2 goals and conceded 1 in home games this season, with 1 clean sheet. Sassuolo have scored 6 goals in away games, but their away record is 0 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses, with 10 goals conceded and 0 clean sheets. That contrast makes Como’s defensive resistance the clearest test of the afternoon.
The supplied seven-match form sequence is mixed for both teams: Como’s most recent results are Draw, Win, Win, Win, Loss, Draw, Win; Sassuolo’s are Loss, Win, Draw, Win, Loss, Draw, Loss. Como’s goal threat includes T. Douvikas, with 3 goals in 7 appearances, and N. Paz, with 2 goals and 2 assists in 7 appearances. Sassuolo’s Vasilije Adžić has 3 goals and 1 assist in 6 appearances.
Como list T. Chalobah, A. Diao and J. Rodriguez as missing, while M. Kean and M. Papaccioli are questionable. Sassuolo are without D. Boloca, J. Idzes, I. Kone, F. Leysen and Y. Paz. At kickoff, can Sassuolo turn their away scoring into a first away win, or will Como’s home defence hold firm?
