Serie A: Sassuolo vs Como
Kickoff Time: 2026-4-18 00:30 (HKT)
Sassuolo lost 1-2 away to Genoa in their last match, having recorded just 1 win, 1 draw and 3 defeats in their past five league games, with their form in sharp decline. Statistically, Sassuolo have scored 39 goals and conceded 43 in the league so far, with strong attack but weak defence being their most obvious trait. Their attack relies heavily on the pace and penetration of both wings to create chances, yet their forwards lack sufficient finishing quality, resulting in a low conversion rate. At the same time, defensive weaknesses are clear, especially from set pieces, where they frequently lose markers. Their disorganised defending also forces them to commit fouls to stop opposition attacks, increasing their risk of bookings.
Como suffered a dramatic 3-4 home defeat to Inter Milan in their last game, ending an eight-game unbeaten run across all competitions. Despite the run ending, Como’s impressive season cannot be overlooked. They have scored 56 goals and conceded only 26 in the league, with figures among the best in the division. Under Cesc Fàbregas, Como have become genuine contenders for European qualification. The former Barcelona midfielder has successfully implemented his football philosophy, emphasising quick combination play and intelligent movement in the final third. Fàbregas has achieved an excellent balance between defensive discipline and attacking freedom. Furthermore, Como’s away form is strong, with 5 wins and 2 draws in their past seven league away games.
Como are superior to Sassuolo in terms of quality, form and overall performance. Their consistent away displays are also a key strength. All things considered, Como — with better tactics and technical quality — are clearly the more favourable side.
