I'm backing Como to win this 2-1 on 24 October 2026 at 16:00. Como just beat Fiorentina 3-1 and they're chasing a Champions League spot, but fatigue from their Manchester League clash with Manchester United could dull their edge. Cesc Fabregas' side won 67% of their recent home matches and averaged 2.00 goals per game at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia, so their attacking threat remains real. I see them controlling this match against a Sassuolo team in freefall.
Sassuolo lost 4-2 at Frosinone and their away record is brutal. I've watched them go winless in their last five road matches, conceding 2.60 goals per game on the road. They're missing Kone, Boloca, and Pieragnolo, and Fedde Leysen won't make it. My read is that Como's home advantage and Sassuolo's defensive fragility create a straightforward path to a home win with goals at both ends.
Form and H2H
I'm looking at Como's last ten matches: six wins, two draws, two losses, with 2.20 goals for and 1.20 against. That's a dominant home record. Sassuolo's away form tells the opposite story—three wins, three draws, four losses, averaging 1.80 goals for and 1.80 against. I see the gap widening when these teams meet on Como's pitch.
Head to head, I've got Como winning 3-0 on 24 September 2025, then 2-0 on 28 November 2025. Sassuolo grabbed a 2-1 win on 17 April 2026, but I'm not reading too much into that single result. Como's home dominance in this fixture is the pattern I trust, and I expect them to reassert control here.
Best bet
I'm taking Como 2-1 at the correct score. My main play is a home win at 1.56 on 1xBet, which I'll pair with Both Teams to Score at 1.56. I'm confident in both outcomes because Sassuolo have scored in their last ten matches, so they'll trouble Como's defence, but Como's attacking quality and Sassuolo's defensive chaos make a home win the clear favourite.
I'll also look at Over 2.5 goals at 1.43 on 1xBet. Sassuolo's away games average 4.20 total goals, and Como's home matches sit at 2.00 goals per game. I expect this to clear 2.5 comfortably, and I'm comfortable with that price for the volume of chances I see coming.
Odds to watch
I'm monitoring the Asian Handicap -0.25 for Como at 1.3 on 1xBet as a tighter alternative to the straight win. If I want to hedge against a draw, that's my route. The away handicap at 4.45 is too long to justify Sassuolo's defensive record.
Both Teams to Score at 1.56 on 1xBet is my secondary pick. Sassuolo haven't failed to score in ten matches, and I expect them to get at least one past Como despite the defensive vulnerabilities. I'm taking that price as value for a near-certainty in this matchup.
