Como vs Sassuolo prediction

THE FORECAST

Como sit 5th with strong recent form (WDLWW) and the motivation to back up a Champions League result against Manchester United, though they carry rotation risk having played just three days ago and facing another Serie A fixture three days later. Sassuolo arrive with a heavily depleted squad — 13 players listed as injured including Berardi, Pinamonti, Koné and several defenders — and have been in poor form (LDLWD) with a -0.3 goal difference. The cool, dry conditions suit Como's home setup, and Sassuolo's lack of available quality makes it difficult to see them causing an upset, though Como's own fatigue tempers confidence in a bigger winning margin.
