Como have won their last two matches, while Sassuolo are missing defenders and have conceded in every league game, giving the hosts the edge. However, Como may feel the effects of their midweek 4-1 win over Manchester United, and Sassuolo retain a threat in attack, so a draw remains a meaningful possibility.
Midweek European exertions could reduce Como's running and pressing intensity after the break.
Como's injury list includes Trevoh Chalobah and Assane Diao, and the latest lineup information is unavailable.

Como have a clear home advantage, riding a two-match winning run and a strong Champions League win with attacking threat spread across the squad. Sassuolo have a poor away record and a leaky defence weakened further by the absence of two central defenders. Como's midweek Champions League fatigue is the main variable, but Sassuolo's defensive issues make an open, goal-heavy game more likely.
