Most people are focusing on the battle for the Scudetto and the European places, and rightly so, as it is a very close one in Serie A. That is why most have probably missed Como’s stellar performance. They exceeded expectations this season and laid the groundwork for even greater highs. But can they continue this good form against Cagliari, who, in theory, should be safe from relegation?
Como 1907 Team News
Como is the in-form team in Serie A right now, having won their last 5 league matches and ensuring survival in Italy’s top flight, but maybe even building towards something even greater next season. Manager Cesc Fabregas has drilled his team well, and despite him being an offensive player, the cornerstone of his team is defensive stability. Four of his team’s victories in their 5-game winning streak have been achieved with a clean sheet. Como has not conceded a goal across its last 4 league matches and has only let 2 goals in the last 6. As hosts, the team is also undefeated in its last 5 home games, winning 3 of them.
Cagliari Team News
Cagliari’s form is the opposite of Como’s. The Islanders have seen a significant drop in their performances, and while they should be safe with their point tally, their remaining fixtures constitute only tricky games. Cagliari has achieved just 1 win across its last 5 Serie A matches, and that win actually came on the road against Verona. The team’s most recent match, however, ended in a defeat against Udinese. Despite the win against Verona on the road, the Islanders have not fared well in their travels, as this is their only victory across their last 8 Serie A trips.
Head-to-Head-Games
Although H2H encounters between Como and Cagliari are not that many in Italy’s top echelons, there are some to be mentioned. Como have been winless across the last 7 H2H encounters with Cagliari, with their last win coming in 2002. Before that, both teams encountered one another in Serie B mostly, where stalemates were the most common outcome, as after Como’s 2002 win, there have been 4 draws in games between these two.

Como 1907 – Cagliari Betting Prediction
Although it appears that Cagliari is a tricky team for Como, I will go with a win for the hosts here. They are the team in form, while Cagliari’s recent form is the exact opposite. My expectation here is that Cesc Fabregas’ team will win in a closely fought encounter, one that likely won’t feature a ton of goals, as Como’s recent games haven’t been goal-rich.
