Sassuolo – Como

Sassuolo host Como in what promises to be a decisive clash in the league table, with the hosts sitting in ninth place on seven points after two wins, a draw and a loss, and a narrow 8‑7 goal difference. Como sit just above them in second, having amassed ten points from three victories and a draw while boasting a superior 9‑4 tally. The two sides have already exchanged a handful of points this season, but the gap in form suggests Como will look to extend their unbeaten run against a Sassuolo side that has struggled to find consistency. A win for Sassuolo could catapult them back into the top half, whereas a loss would see them slip further from the safety zone. Both teams will be keen to turn the head‑to‑head record in their favour as the season approaches its crucial stage.
