Como 1907 2-0 US Sassuolo Calcio: Serie A Match Report, 24 October 2026

Our preview of this match was written on 18 October 2026 but only went live on 1 November, after the final whistle. Its pick is reviewed below as it was written, and it is left out of our win rate and bankroll.

Sassuolo drew a blank for the first time this season in Como 1907 2-0 US Sassuolo Calcio. All seven of their earlier league matches had goals at both ends. The first half was goalless, as Como's previous home match, against Roma, had been from start to finish, and both goals came after the break.

Como came in fifth, on 14 points and plus five, though ten of those points had been won away from home and this was only their third home match of the season. Sassuolo started thirteenth on eight points, minus two, with one point from four away trips and ten goals conceded in them. That away record was the clearest edge in the fixture, and it now reads one point from five, still without an away win.

The result also repeated the last meeting at this ground: Como won 2-0 there in November 2025 as well, and the home side has won all three meetings on record. The clubs finished well apart last season, Como fourth on 71 points with the division's best defence, 29 conceded, and Sassuolo eleventh on 49.

Como move to 17 points from eight and a goal difference of plus seven, over two points a game; fourth place last season came at under 1.9. Seven conceded in eight is not far off last season's 29 in 38, so the defence that made them hard to beat in 2025/26 looks much the same. Eight matches is not enough to call this more than a good start, and their home record, three matches long, is still the thinnest part of it.

Sassuolo stay on eight points, a point a game, below last season's 49 from 38, and their goal difference drops to minus four. Every point they have, bar the draw at Bologna, has come at home. One blank after seven matches with a goal is a single result, not yet a change of pattern.

Our preview's call was Como 1907 Win at 1.75.

The case rested on Sassuolo's away record more than on Como's home one: one point and ten goals conceded from four trips, against a side that had conceded 29 all last season. The preview listed two ways it could go wrong: Sassuolo scoring first, since they had scored in every match, and a level score at the break pushing the game towards a draw. The second happened and the first did not. The match turned on the one thing the preview had treated as close to certain, a Sassuolo goal, not arriving. The medium rating, kept down because Como had hosted only twice, fitted a match that was goalless for a half.

Verdict: not counted. The pick would have won, but the preview only went live after kick-off.
