Como host Sassuolo in Serie A. Como have made the better start to the season, while Sassuolo have found points harder to come by so far.
These two sides have crossed paths a few times recently, with contrasting outcomes depending on the venue. Kickoff is still a month away, so there's room for things to change before then.

Looking at Como's last 20 matches across all competitions, they've won 10, drawn 6 and lost just 4, scoring 37 and conceding 24. That's a healthy return, even though the sample includes cup games and pre-season friendlies against sides like Liverpool and Arsenal, not just Serie A fixtures.
Como: 20 completed matches; Sassuolo: 20 completed matches.

Sassuolo's equivalent sample is tougher reading: 6 wins, 5 draws and 9 losses from 20 games, with goals fairly even at 28 for and 29 against. It's not a pure Serie A picture either, since Coppa Italia and friendly results are mixed in, but the overall shape suggests Sassuolo have had a harder time of it lately.
Como's underlying form looks sturdier than Sassuolo's, though neither sample is a clean single-competition run.
Comparative Team Statistics: Como vs Sassuolo

Head-to-Head Record
The last three meetings between these two have gone in different directions depending on the venue. Como beat Sassuolo 2-0 in Serie A back in November 2025 and added a 3-0 Coppa Italia win the previous September, both at Como's ground. Sassuolo's only win in that spell came at their own home, 2-1 in April 2026.

| Coppa Italia | Como | Sassuolo | 24.09.2025 | 3-0 |
With Como hosting again this time, their record on home soil against Sassuolo is worth noting, even though it's a small sample.
Early Season Standings
Five games into the season, Como sit 8th with 10 points, while Sassuolo are down in 10th on 7. Como's goal difference is also better, having scored nine and conceded six, compared to Sassuolo's nine scored and nine conceded.

| 7 | Juventus | 5 | 3 | 1 | 1 | 8/4 | 10 |

| 11 | Atalanta | 5 | 2 | 0 | 3 | 5/7 | 6 |
It's still early days, so a three-point gap and a handful of games won't tell the full story by the time this one kicks off in October.

Players to Watch
Sassuolo's Vasilije Adžić has been their standout attacker, with three goals and an assist in five matches. For Como, Assane Diao and M. Baturina have two goals apiece in the same span, showing the goals threat is a bit more shared out.
Sassuolo's L. Lipani has picked up two yellow cards in four matches, which is worth keeping an eye on given how the game might be officiated, though it doesn't tell us anything about his likely involvement next month.
Adžić's form makes him someone to watch against a Como side who've conceded a bit more evenly across their squad.

Como look the sturdier side right now, sitting higher in the table and having beaten Sassuolo twice at home in recent meetings. Sassuolo have shown some fight, especially through Adžić, but their overall form and away record leave more questions than answers.
With no market to weigh up and the fixture still weeks away, we're happy to sit this one out rather than force a view before it's needed.
