Sassuolo
Sassuolo will head to the other side of Milan to face Como in a Serie A tie that promises to have a huge impact on the top-half of the table at this stage of the season. The hosts have enjoyed an excellent start to the season under Fàbregas, so will be looking to maintain their impressive and unprecedented form that has worked them into a very positive position.
Sassuolo, now back where they belong in Serie A, will hope to continue their good start as well. The newly promoted side are in the top half of the table ahead of this tie, and they could push even higher with a good result here.
Key Betting Tips: Como to Win at 1.60 odds on Parimatch, or 1.55 odds on Kwiff represents good value based on the tip provided by our algorithm.
Alternative Betting Tip: Over 2.5 Match Goals at 1.95 odds on Parimatch, or 1.87 odds on BoyleSports is another bet with good value, according to our algorithm.
The hosts have looked excellent under the leadership of Fàbregas and have thus enjoyed a really good start to the season. According to Football Park's algorithm and the odds provided, Como winning this fixture looks like a good value bet.
Both sides look very capable of finding the net, so Over 2.5 Goals might also be worth considering, but given the amount of clean sheets Como have kept lately, it's a bit more of a risk. The odds are of course higher as a result, so it still looks like good value, but it's certainly more of a risk.
Como Predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Jean Butez; Álex Valle, Diego Carlos, Jacobo Ramón, Stefan Posch; Lucas Da Cunha, Máximo Perrone; Jesús Rodríguez, Nico Paz, Jayden Addai; Álvaro Morata
A potential injury to Sergi Roberto and a suspension to Ivan Smolčić mean that Stefan Posch is likely to come into the lineup, while Assane Diao and Edoardo Goldaniga are also set to miss this game.
Sassuolo Predicted XI (4-3-3): Arijanet Murić; Josh Doig, Tarik Muharemović, Jay Idzes, Sebastian Walukiewicz; Kristian Thorstvedt, Nemanja Matić, Ismaël Koné; Armand Laurienté, Andrea Pinamonti, Domenico Berardi
Lars Skjellerup and Eduardo Pieragnolo both remain out with long-term injuries, and Grosso will be relieved that three players should be returning to action after this game, in Yeferson Paz, Stefano Turati and exciting young midfielder Aster Vranckx.
You'll have certainly seen Como popping up on social media out of nowhere in the last couple of seasons, but they deserve the plaudits they've been given; their trajectory since bringing Fàbregas into the management team has been remarkable, and he has only continued to improve since becoming their head coach. Having been playing in Serie C just five years ago, the fans will be as delighted as they are baffled to see their club currently occupying sixth in the top division, only losing once so far this season.
Sassuolo won Serie B last year after their shock relegation the season prior, and they're clearly looking to right their wrongs from their last season in the first division. They've worked themselves up into ninth and are comfortably clear of relegation at this point, so as long as they can maintain their form for the rest of the season then the Neroverdi will be able to resume the mid-table position that have been used to for most of the last decade.
Recent Head-to-Head Results:
This is going to be only the second meeting between these two sides, and their first in Serie A. As a result of their emphatic Coppa Italia victory two months ago, Como technically have a 100% win record in this fixture. As a result of the league form of both sides, this is likely to become a more regular fixture going forward, as neither are expected to drop down the Serie B any time soon, so they will both be eager to take bragging rights over the other in this match-up.
Como Last 5 Matches:
Defensive solidity has been a big part of Como's set-up this season, which has seen them earn more clean sheets than they have conceded goals in their last five games. Three 0-0 draws isn't the most inspiring form you'll ever see, but it was Maldini who famously said that defense wins titles; of course the title isn't the aim for Como, but it's a strong foundation to be building that they can push on from. When they do win, they seem to do it in style, scoring eight goals in their last two wins.
Sassuolo Last 5 Matches:
Finding consistency has been a bit of a struggle for Sassuolo lately, but seven points from five the kind of form that will see a side end up in the middle of the table. That's nothing for them to scoff about at this point, this season is mostly about re-establishing themselves as a Serie A side. The results against Pisa and Genoa, both of whom are in the bottom five at the moment, will have been disappointing for Sassuolo, so it's important that they push for three points in this game to start building an unbeaten streak and some consistency.
Our advanced algorithm analyses over 200 data points to generate these predictions with 60.00% confidence in Como to Win, as well as a 60.00% confidence in Over 2.5 Match Goals. The model factors in current form, head-to-head records, player availability, and tactical matchups.
Football Park’s Best Bet: Como to Win @ 1.60 on Parimatch OR 1.55 odds on Kwiff - The hosts head into this game as the more consistent side who have been harder to break down and are subsequently higher in the table. Considering odds and chances of different outcomes, Como to Win looks like the best bet.
Nico Paz (Como): This lad is one of the most exciting prodigies of world football at the moment, so it's definitely worth keeping an eye on him. Not only has he registered four assists this season, which is already a good number, but he is also leading the Serie A goal-scoring charts with five goals to his name. The Argentinian only turned 21 a couple of months ago and has a huge future ahead of him.
Domenico Berardi (Sassuolo): The Euros winner has established himself as a club legend for Sassuolo, making over 400 appearances for the club in the last 13 years with over 150 goals in that time. Regarded as one of the best Italian players to have not played for a traditionally big club, his loyalty to his boyhood side is admirable, and his performances as of late have proven that he is not slowing down. Registering four goals and three assists so far this season are great numbers, so he'll be causing serious problems for the Como defence.
