Atalanta hosts Venezia in a Serie A Matchday 7 fixture. The game takes place on Monday, October 12, at 17:30 UK Time in Bergamo.
Como hosts Sassuolo in a match from the 13th round of the Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Friday, November 28, at 19:45 UK Time, with bookmakers giving the home team an advantage.
Form of both teams
Como is one of the best-performing teams in Serie A. The hosts are unbeaten in their last 10 matches, sitting in 6th place with 21 points - six behind leaders Roma. Como thrashed Torino 5-1 away in the last round. The team's attack was on a completely different level compared to the 0-0 draws with Cagliari and Napoli before that. Como's team has won two of its last three home games, including a 2-0 win over Juventus.
Sassuolo is in 9th place in the standings with 17 points. The visitors have 5 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses since the start of the Serie A season. Sassuolo drew 2-2 with Pisa in the last round. Before that, the team defeated Atalanta 3-0 away for their biggest win of the season. Can Sassuolo repeat that performance in Como's away game?
Prediction for Como - Sassuolo
Como are one of just four teams that still boast an unbeaten home record in Serie A, and the constantly improving side led by Cesc Fàbregas could extend that run with a win over Sassuolo. I believe the hosts will make full use of their home advantage and secure a positive result, sending a strong message in the race for a top-four finish. Their tactical discipline, growing confidence, and strong support from the home crowd have turned their stadium into a difficult venue for any opponent. Against a competitive Sassuolo side, patience and intensity will be key, but Como look well equipped to rise to the challenge and take another important step forward.
Prediction: 1
