Last season's meetings were split. Como won 2:0 at home on 2025-11-28, and Sassuolo won 2:1 on 2026-04-17. Both sides have availability problems. Como list ten players as unavailable: Adrian Lahdo, Edoardo Goldaniga, Jayden Addai, Mauro Vigorito, Maxence Caqueret and Willy Kambwala are suspended, while Assane Diao, Jesús Rodríguez, Paolo Faragò and Trevoh Chalobah are injured. Sassuolo are without five injured players: Cristian Volpato, Darryl Bakola, Fedde Leysen, Ismaël Koné and Jay Idzes. Como's list is longer, but the model still rates them well ahead.

The goals markets look fairly balanced. The model gives 53.3% for over 2.5 goals and 46.7% for under, and 49.88% for both teams to score against 50.12% for no. Over 1.5 goals is rated at 76.19%, and over 3.5 at 30.11%. Sassuolo's matches have been open: both teams have scored in all seven of them, and 85.71% have gone over 2.5 goals. Como's figures are lower, at 71.43% for both teams scoring and 57.14% for over 2.5. These are probabilities, not certainties, and a favourite with 62.61% still fails to win in over a third of cases.
