Como vs Cagliari Prediction 8 November 2025

📢 What can we expect from the clash between Como and Cagliari, set to take place in the 11th round of Serie A at the Giuseppe Sinigaglia? The hosts have been impressive this autumn, suffering just one defeat since the start of the season. Meanwhile, Cagliari are struggling to escape a prolonged slump. The teams are in contrasting form and have different objectives, adding an extra layer of intrigue. This upcoming match could potentially impact the future of the "Islanders'" head coach.

Head-to-Head

📊 The head-to-head history between Como and Cagliari features just 4 matches since 2017, and the results are perfectly balanced: each team has claimed 1 victory, with 2 draws. Last season, the "Islanders" failed to secure a win in this matchup. They first played to a 1-1 draw at home, and then suffered a 1-3 defeat away, clearly outplayed by a more energetic and aggressive Como side.

Como 1907 Team Overview

🔵 Como continue to set the bar high: after ten rounds, the team sit in 7th place with 17 points—just four points shy of the Champions League spots—and they hold their own even against Serie A giants. In mid-October, they defeated Juventus at home (2-0), and in the last round, they held the league leaders Napoli to a draw on the road (0-0).

⚪ Despite being underdogs against the reigning champions, Como played boldly and did not sit back: they had more possession than their opponents (55% to 45%) and created enough chances to win. The pivotal moment came in the 26th minute when Morata missed a penalty—the Serbian goalkeeper for Napoli made the save. Had they capitalized on this opportunity, the Larians could have reasonably aimed for all three points.

Cagliari Calcio Team Overview

🔴 Cagliari's results are at the opposite end of the spectrum compared to Como. The team has gone six matches without a victory (2 draws and 4 losses), dropping them to 14th place. Their cushion from the relegation zone has shrunk to just three points, which falls short of the expectations of both management and fans.

🔵 In their last match, the "Islanders" suffered a 0-2 away defeat to an inconsistent Lazio, despite not looking inferior overall. Cagliari managed twice as many shots on goal (17 compared to 8) and created more dangerous scoring opportunities. However, once again, their finishing let them down, while defensive errors played a decisive role in the final score.

Latest news

Como 1907

📣 After a goalless draw with Napoli (0-0), Como head coach Cesc Fabregas remarked, "I'm only partially satisfied. When the team plays like this, they need to win. But we've taken another step forward against a very strong opponent that I really admire. We're making progress, though there's still a lot of work to be done... I consider myself fortunate—we're in the midst of a long process."

🚫 Como are facing notable personnel issues. Alberto Dossena remains unavailable due to a cruciate ligament injury, with a return expected by early December. Edoardo Goldaniga is on a similar timeline with heel problems. Marc-Oliver Kempf is still recovering from a muscle injury, and his return is possible by mid-November. Sergi Roberto's status is uncertain—it's essential to ensure that his muscle pain has fully subsided first.

Cagliari Calcio

📣 Following their 0-2 defeat to Lazio, Cagliari head coach Fabio Pisacane remarked: "It's crucial that some players are ready to help the team again—this should bring us closer to achieving our goal, which is absolutely clear to us. I also liked the attitude: we played bravely, and that inspires optimism. However, I'm only half-satisfied."

🚫 Cagliari are also dealing with a challenging squad situation. Andrea Belotti will not play due to a cruciate ligament injury; he is expected to return only in early April 2026. Marko Rog is recovering from a muscle injury and should be ready by mid-November. Meanwhile, the participation of Nicola Pintus and Alessandro Deiola remains uncertain.

⚽️ Goal Predictions

⚽️ Goal Predictions

One of the reasons behind Cagliari's recent struggles can be attributed to their loss of focus after halftime: the team often lacks the stamina and discipline for the second half. The stats speak for themselves – Cagliari have conceded in the second half in six consecutive Serie A matches. Como, on the other hand, are more organized and effective, so the hosts could very well punish the "Islanders" for their post-break lapses.

🚩 Corner Predictions

While Como showcase an exciting and aggressive attacking style, they don't reach the corner flag as often, averaging just 3.3 corners per match, which is among the lowest in Serie A. It's also worth noting that Como have delivered fewer than 6.5 corners in their last 10 home games. Given the consistency of this trend, this will be our bet.
