Como’s Unstoppable Momentum Continues

Como’s unbeaten run includes 3 consecutive wins most recently. They’ve drawn with Atalanta (1-1) and Parma (0-0) while defeating Hellas Verona (3-1) and Lazio (2-0) in dominant fashion. Home advantage at the Sinigaglia has become fortress-like. The team concedes just 0.67 goals per match under Fabregas.
“Cesc Fabregas’ Como have now gone unbeaten in 8 out of 9 games played this season!”
Cagliari’s Road Woes Spell Danger
Cagliari arrives in dire form. The Rossoblu have struggled away from home with shocking consistency. They’ve lost 24 of their last 40 away matches across all competitions. This season, Cagliari sit winless in 9 of their final 11 road fixtures including defeats to Lazio and Udinese.
Manager Davide Nicola faces mounting pressure to turn things around. The injury to Andrea Belotti, their star striker, compounds lineup woes. Cagliari relies heavily on Seba Esposito in attack. The midfield lacks creativity, particularly without Belotti’s presence. Defensive vulnerabilities continue exposing the backline.
Confidence levels remain low after consecutive losses. Cagliari fans desperately seek a spark. Traveling north to the Como region against one of Europe’s hottest teams doesn’t offer hope.
Form and Player Comparisons Matter Here
This clash represents contrasting trajectories in Italian football. Examine the numbers:
| Metric | Como | Cagliari |
|---|---|---|
| Current Position | 7th | 14th |
| Points (Nov 8) | 19 | 11 |
| Unbeaten Streak | 8 matches | 1 match |
| Goals For (Total) | 18 | 9 |
| Goals Against (Total) | 6 | 14 |
| Home/Away Form | Strong Home (4-0) | Weak Away (1-3) |
The gap between these clubs speaks volumes. Como’s goal differential stands at +12 while Cagliari’s sits at -5. This 17-point swing in quality illustrates a mismatch.
Watch For These Key Storylines
- Nico Paz‘s brilliance: The playmaker has been Como’s creative heartbeat. Expect him to probe Cagliari’s weak defensive structure relentlessly.
- Fabregas’ tactical masterclass: Will he follow Juventus gameplan that exposed Cagliari’s backline or shift tactics?
- Belotti’s absence impact: Cagliari’s attack lacks punch without their star. Can Esposito fill the void?
- Como’s ninth straight: Historical achievement for a newly promoted side. The pressure mounts.
- Cagliari’s desperation: Do they fight back or accept defeat? Confidence is fragile.
Can Como Reach 9 Unbeaten Against Struggling Rossoblu?
Everything points to Como dominance. Fabregas has built something special. The Rossoblu arrive wounded with injuries and poor form. Home advantage matters tremendously in Serie A.
Saturday’s matchup feels less like a contest than a formality. Como sits 8 points clear of Cagliari with superior talent everywhere. The 9th unbeaten match seems destined unless Cagliari finds unexpected magic.
Fabregas will be hunting history while Nicola searches for redemption. Only one outcome feels realistic at the Sinigaglia.
