• Date: Saturday, 10 May 2025
• Venue: Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia, Como

Match Preview

Como host Cagliari at the picturesque Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia in a crucial Serie A clash that could have major implications for both teams’ end-of-season ambitions. Como, promoted last season and currently sitting mid-table, have impressed with a blend of youthful exuberance and tactical discipline. Cagliari, meanwhile, are fighting to steer clear of the relegation zone and will view this fixture as a must-win to secure their top-flight status for another year.

Both sides come into this match off the back of contrasting results. Como secured a gritty 1-0 away win at Parma last weekend, thanks to a late strike from Gabriel Strefezza, extending their superb winning streak to five matches (four clean sheets in a row). This surge in form has seen them climb to 10th in the table, with 45 points from 35 games, and they boast a strong home record with seven wins and just five losses at Sinigaglia. Cagliari, in contrast, have struggled for consistency, losing 2-1 at home to Udinese in their last outing. They have only managed eight wins all season and sit 14th, just above the drop zone, with 33 points.

Injuries and suspensions could play a significant role. Como are missing key players: Iván Azón (knee injury, out until mid-June), Assane Diao (broken leg, out for the season), and Lucas Da Cunha (knock, doubtful). For Cagliari, midfielder Alessandro Deiola is suspended, while Jakub Jankto remains sidelined with injury. These absences may force both managers to shuffle their lineups and could open the door for fringe players to make an impact.

Tactically, Como have impressed with their possession-based style, averaging 54% possession and 13 shots per game, and are particularly dangerous from set pieces and individual moments of skill. Cagliari, on the other hand, are strong in the air and can threaten from direct free kicks, but have shown defensive frailties, conceding 49 goals so far. The match forecast suggests Como will dominate possession, while Cagliari will look to capitalize on aerial duels and set pieces.

Key Players

• Como:
  • Gabriel Strefezza (RW): Match-winner at Parma, creative spark, and a threat from set pieces.
  • Patrick Cutrone (ST): Leading scorer, key in pressing and link-up play.
  • Jean Butez (GK): Reliable presence in goal, crucial for organizing a young defense.
• Cagliari:
  • Roberto Piccoli (ST): Top scorer with 9 goals, physical and aerially dominant.
  • Zito Luvumbo (F): Provides pace and directness on the flanks, capable of individual brilliance.
  • Razvan Marin (CM): Key in midfield transitions, set-piece specialist, and creative outlet.

Prediction

Given Como’s strong recent form, home advantage, and Cagliari’s struggles on the road, the hosts look well-placed to edge this encounter. Cagliari’s aerial threat and set-piece prowess mean they should not be underestimated, but Como’s organization and attacking variety should see them through. Expect a tight contest, with Como likely to prevail 2-1.
