Sassuolo vs Como Prediction 17 April 2026

🟢 Sassuolo made their return to the top flight after competing in Serie B last season, with their primary goal being to secure their place in the league. Essentially, the "Neroverdi" have already achieved this objective: with six matches remaining, they hold a 15-point cushion above the relegation zone. Even in the worst-case scenario, the team is highly likely to remain in Serie A. However, their recent form has been less than satisfactory, with one win, one draw, and three losses.

⚫ In their previous outing, the "Neroverdi" faced Genoa away and fell 1-2. Throughout the match, Sassuolo were not outplayed by their opponents, and the statistics were nearly even. Nevertheless, the team faltered during crucial phases - at the start and end of the match - where the "Grifoni" capitalized and scored their goals, ultimately securing all three points.

🔵 At the start of the season, Como were unlikely contenders for a Champions League spot. However, as the campaign progressed, the "Larians" exceeded all expectations. After 32 rounds, they sit in fifth place with 58 points, and until recently, they were even holding onto a top-four position. A couple of disappointing results have slightly dented their standing-just one point from their last two matches has allowed Juventus to overtake Como and open up a small gap.

⚪ Following an unexpected slip against Udinese (0-0), the "Larians" fell at home to Inter (3-4) in one of the most thrilling matches of the round. The game started perfectly for them-by the 45th minute, Como were leading 2-0 and had full control. However, after netting their second goal, the situation dramatically changed: Cesc Fabregas's side conceded four consecutive goals, despite the match showing no signs of such a turn of events. Statistically, Como did not deserve to lose. They significantly outperformed their opponents with 24 shots to 7 and an xG of 2.93 compared to 0.92, but poor defensive play undermined all their attacking efforts.
