Como VS Sassuolo

The well-drilled system under Cesc Fabregas has Como built around dominant possession play, though their recent Champions League fixture has left them with notable fitness concerns that could undermine their performance. They currently sit 5th in the league table with 4 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat across 7 matches, and have posted an outstanding 5-win 1-draw unbeaten run across their last 6 home fixtures. Their tactical setup is highly refined: the back line lures opposition pressure before playing out from the back, fullbacks push high to stretch the pitch wide, holding midfielders drop deep to offer reliable passing outlets. Once they draw heavy defensive attention to one strong flank, they quickly switch play to the unmarked weak side, before letting Nico Paz receive the ball in the half-space to drive the attack forward.
