Final Prediction & Verdict

All signs point toward Como continuing their excellent run of form at home. Although they’ve historically struggled against Cagliari, their confidence is sky-high following recent performances, and they have tightened up considerably at the back with four straight clean sheets. Hosting a Cagliari side that has only won once and lost three times in their last four, it’s an ideal opportunity for Como to break their negative head-to-head streak.

With both teams likely to find the net, especially given Como’s BTTS record at home, we expect an open but balanced match. However, Como’s recent momentum and more cohesive team performances make them the logical pick. We’re backing a 2-1 win for Como.

In conclusion, Como to win and both teams to score offer excellent value. Keep an eye on Patrick Cutrone, who is instrumental to Como’s attack and will be eager to add to his tally against a Cagliari side that has looked fragile defensively.
