Como host Sassuolo in Serie A on Saturday as clear favorites, priced at -200 (Polymarket) on the moneyline. Sassuolo are a long shot at +600 (Polymarket), and that gap feels about right.
Cesc Fàbregas has Como sitting fifth in the Serie A standings, and this group has been one of the division's most consistent outfits all fall.
Sassuolo started the season brightly under Aquilani but have slowed in recent outings. They sit 13th in the standings and arrive needing points to keep clear of trouble.
Como hold the edge in previous meetings between these sides with two wins. Sassuolo have won the other, and neither side has settled for a tie.
Como vs Sassuolo Recent Results
Como have lost just once across their last 12 Serie A outings, a run that has them firmly in the European conversation. Nico Paz is the man who makes it tick, running the show behind Douvikas, with Baturina adding craft from the left.
Sassuolo have won just 2 of their last 10 games against all opponents, which explains the long price. They are rarely dull, though, with over 2.5 goals showing up in six of their last seven Serie A outings. Laurienté, Berardi and Sebastiano Esposito give them a front three capable of hurting anyone on the counter.

Our Como vs Sassuolo prediction is a 3-1 Como win. The hosts have more quality, home advantage and Nico Paz pulling the strings, and a projected total of 3.75 goals points to an open game. Sassuolo's front three are good enough to score, but Como have too many ways to hurt a back line missing Idzes and Leysen.

Our numbers put Over 3.5 in the Total Goals Over/Under market at roughly 51.5%, above the implied probability in the price, which is why it leads our Como vs Sassuolo best picks.

Como vs Sassuolo Talking Points
Fàbregas joined Como as a player in 2022 before moving into coaching, and he has since taken the club into the Champions League off a fourth-place Serie A finish last season. The tactical subplot is clear. Como love the ball and attack through the middle, but defending counterattacks is where they can be got at, and counterattacking is Sassuolo's biggest weapon. The Como vs Sassuolo betting odds lean hard toward the hosts, yet the visitors have the tools to punish any sloppiness.
