Como vs Sassuolo: Who are the Favorites to win?

As Sassuolo prepares to host Como 1907 today, this fixture means different things to both teams.

For Como, this may be what gives them momentum to climb and displace Juventus in the race for the Champions leagues, for Sassuolo, a win would mean finishing in the top half of the table.

Previous Matches:

From their past matches, Como have demonstrated imposiveness and good control, and this may be a deciding factor in the game, even though it would be played in Sassuolo's home front. Their last 2 matches had Como defeating Sassuolo with 2 and 3 goals to nil respectively.

Sassuolo however, will be playing on their homefront and that may be an advantage to them as they play tonight. They also do not have the pressure that Como has to finish top-four of the table to get into the Champions league.

Game Approach:

Sassuolo tend to operate with a measured approach, taking the game at their own pace and controlling the rhythm. Como, however, takes a more proactive approach to the game. Dominating possession, applying pressure to the game and increasing tempo.

Where Game Will Be Decided:

Camo has demonstrated dominance over Sassuolo in their recent meetings, and if they are able to impose their rhythm in the game, then they will decide the game. This may prove to be the case as they take a more proactive approach to the game. So we look to seeing them stretch the pitch, move the ball quickly, and apply more pressure.

However, if Sassuolo is able to dictate the rhythm of the game, by breaking the play, limiting transitions, and being more patient with the game, then they may decide which way the game goes. And they have the advantage of playing at home to add to that.
