This Saturday, Serie A supporters are in for a encounter as Como welcome Cagliari to the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia. With Como enjoying a five-match winning streak and Cagliari fighting to climb out of the relegation zone, the stakes are immense. Currently 10th in the table, Como hold a four-point advantage over 14th-placed Cagliari, and a win here could further cement their mid-table standing. For Cagliari, however, defeat could deepen their troubles and edge them closer to the drop.
Como’s impressive home form has been pivotal to their recent success. Unbeaten in their last five matches at Sinigaglia, they’ve averaged 1.53 goals per game while keeping three consecutive clean sheets. Leading their charge is Assane Diao, who has been in scintillating form with eight goals this season and strikes in 11 consecutive matches. This combination of attacking prowess and defensive solidity makes Como a daunting prospect, particularly against a Cagliari side that has failed to score in seven of their 17 away fixtures.
Cagliari, meanwhile, are desperate to reverse their fortunes. With just one win in their last five outings and a goal difference of -15, their struggles on the road have been glaring. Adding to their woes is a dismal record at this venue, where they haven’t secured a victory since 2001. Despite these challenges, Roberto Piccoli offers a glimmer of hope for the visitors. The forward, with nine goals to his name this season, will need to deliver a standout performance if Cagliari are to leave Como with anything to show for their efforts.

Betting Predictions
Primary bet: Home Win (Como) @ 8/11
Como are in outstanding form, riding a four-match winning streak in Serie A and remaining unbeaten in their last five fixtures. Their home record is particularly impressive, with no defeats in their previous five matches on home turf. In contrast, Cagliari have struggled on the road, failing to score in 7 of their 17 away fixtures this season. While past meetings between these sides have been competitive, Como's current momentum, combined with Cagliari's poor away form, makes backing the home win a strong and valuable option.
Secondary bet: Over 2.5 Goals @ 10/11
The secondary bet on over 2.5 goals is well-supported by the attacking and defensive trends of both teams. Matches between Como and Cagliari average 2.6 goals, and Como have found the net in 11 consecutive matches, scoring an average of 1.53 goals per home game. Meanwhile, Cagliari’s defensive frailties are evident, conceding an average of 1.4 goals in away matches. Despite their struggles, Cagliari have shown occasional flashes of competitiveness, which could contribute to a high-scoring encounter. With a calculated probability of 67.78% for over 2.5 goals, this bet offers excellent value.
