Como
In the previous round, Cesc Fabregas's team left no chance for Torino on their home turf (5-1).

Como vs. Sassuolo: Match Prediction
On their home ground, Cesc Fabregas's team prefers attacking football and tries to focus as much as possible on offense. This style of play pays off: in their last 20 home Serie A matches, Como failed to score in only two games, one of which saw the team play more than a half with ten men against Inter. Meanwhile, in their last 17 home league matches, the club has kept a clean sheet only five times.
Sassuolo is also not used to sitting back and regularly scores even in away matches: in their last ten away Serie A encounters, the club's players left the field without scoring only once. However, the team's defense cannot be relied upon: in their last 31 away league matches, Sassuolo managed just three clean sheets.
I expect both teams to score in this match, so my prediction: Both teams to score – yes
* The starting lineup for each team is based on their last match in this tournament.
