Como vs Sassuolo: team news and expert analysis
The club from "Giuseppe Sinigaglia" was the revelation of last season. After narrowly missing out on knocking Inter out in the Coppa Italia semi-finals, Como finished fourth in Serie A. That was enough to earn a Champions League debut. The Italians began their campaign with a resounding 4-1 victory over RB Leipzig, although they later lost 3-2 to Feyenoord. This week, they recorded another emphatic win, beating Manchester United 4-1. They made a decent start domestically, but just before the international break they surprisingly lost 2-0 to Frosinone. In October, they were held to a goalless draw by Roma despite playing with a man advantage. They did, however, secure a win away to Fiorentina.
The team from "Mapei - Città del Tricolore" returned to Serie A after a year in Serie B and finished eleventh last spring with 49 points. The coach changed in the summer, with Aquilani replacing Grosso. His tenure got off to an underwhelming start, including a defeat to Monza, although the team did manage to snatch a victory over Juventus. They drew with Milan, but in their most recent match they lost 4-2 to Frosinone.
The Champions League participant scores an average of 1.71 goals per game while conceding significantly fewer — just 1.0. Matic and his teammates score 1.71 goals per match but concede more than that, averaging 2.0 goals against.
