Como
Cesc Fabregas' side triumphed over Parma away in the last round (1-0). As a result, Como extended their winning streak in the league to five matches. Moreover, the team has not conceded in the last four Serie A encounters. The club has risen to tenth place in the standings with 45 points. However, Como cannot climb higher as they are 12 points behind the ninth position.
- The team has not lost in their last five home matches in Serie A (3 wins, 2 draws).
- The club conceded exactly one or two goals in 7 of their last 9 home league games.
- No more than two goals have been scored in Como's last four home Serie A matches.

Midfielder Sergi Roberto and forward Assane Diao will miss the game due to injuries.
Cagliari
In the last round, Davide Nicola's side lost 1-2 at home to Udinese. This defeat was Cagliari's third in the last four league matches. However, the team managed to score in each of these games. The club has 33 points and sits in 14th place in the standings, and a victory will secure their place in Serie A for the next season. Notably, Cagliari has scored only 15 goals away this season, bettering only three other teams in this regard.

Como vs. Cagliari: Match Prediction
Cesc Fabregas' side plays confidently at home and doesn't just sit back in defense, although they can't boast high scoring prowess. In their last four home league games, Como hasn't scored more than one goal, even against opponents from the lower half of the standings. Meanwhile, the team is quite reliable at their own end, having not conceded more than one goal in their last five home Serie A matches.
Cagliari also doesn't excel in attack, especially in away games. In 7 of their last 8 away league matches, Davide Nicola's side scored at most once, failing to score in four of those encounters. However, in their last nine away Serie A matches, the team only conceded more than one goal three times.
Considering these pre-match factors, I don't expect a high-scoring affair. My prediction: Total under 3
