Como Aims for Europe: Hosts Face Sassuolo Showdown

Como welcomes Sassuolo to the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia for a pivotal Serie A fixture. Currently positioned in 6th place, Como, managed by Cesc Fabregas, is in strong contention for European qualification, having suffered just one defeat this season. Their impressive form is a testament to smart recruitment and retaining key players.

Sassuolo, led by former Italy international Fabio Grosso, is also vying for a strong finish. They sit in 9th place, having matched Como's win count but with a higher number of losses. Last weekend, Como secured a decisive 5-1 victory away at Torino, while Sassuolo played to a 2-2 draw against Pisa.

The home side will be without Alberto Dossena and Edoardo Goldaniga, and Ivan Smolcic is suspended. Sassuolo faces their own squad challenges, missing Filippo Romagna and Laurs Skjellerup. Both teams are eager to secure points to bolster their European dreams in this anticipated encounter.
