Match Analysis

Como enters this match riding high on a three-game winning streak, showcasing their recent form with victories against Parma, Genoa, and Lecce, all achieved without conceding a single goal. This defensive solidity is underscored by their four clean sheets in the last five matches, reflecting a strong rear-guard action. Offensively, Como averages 1.2 goals per game in their recent outings, aligning closely with their expected goals of 1.342. On the other hand, Cagliari's recent performances have been inconsistent.

The team’s expected goals of 0.944 demonstrate a struggle to convert chances, which Como could exploit.

Como's recent form and defensive resilience provide them with a considerable edge over Cagliari in this encounter. The team's ability to keep clean sheets and capitalize on scoring opportunities makes them favorites to extend their winning streak. A key factor to watch will be Como's defense, which could be pivotal in securing another shutout against a Cagliari side struggling to find the back of the net.
