Como (Home)
- The hosts are unbeaten in 2 games at home in the new season, conceding just 1 goal, while the Neroverdi are yet to taste success on the road with 3 defeats and 1 draw from 4 games.
- Como have been erratic in the opening weeks of the campaign, winning 2, drawing 1 and losing 2 of their last 5, but they do seem to be finding a rhythm on their own patch with 2 wins and 1 draw recorded here.
- Cesc Fàbregas has the team playing proactively, always looking to dominate possession, build up the game in an organised way and then win the ball back with their energetic pressing.
- Nico Paz has provided 3 assists in his last 5 games, adding real quality to Como's play.
Sassuolo (Away)
- Sassuolo are yet to win an away game in Serie A 2026/2027, D1, L3.
- Sassuolo are a different proposition to most other Serie A 2026/2027 sides, however, and will look to disrupt the play and hit on the counter-attack.
- Alberto Aquilani has his Neroverdi set up in either a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 and they have a system for their pressing, for overloading the wide areas and for getting up the pitch quickly to attack.
- The problem is, as yet, the results just haven't been there for the Neroverdi, who have scored six times in four away league games, but can only show one point for their trouble.
Key Players
- Nico Paz has provided 3 assists in his last 5 games, adding real quality to Como's play.
- Anastasios Douvikas is also benefitting from Fàbregas' system and leads the line for the hosts as their top scorer in the Italian top flight with 2 goals in 5 matches.
- Vasilije Adzic will be Sassuolo's main threat here and the striker has the pace and skill to get on the end of anything that comes his way, so we should expect a high-intensity game.
Head-to-Head

- Sassuolo are yet to taste success on the road with 3 defeats and 1 draw from 4 games.
