Como on top: Anastasios Douvikas to test the keeper, and Paul Mendy kept busy stopping them.
Our model makes Como clear favourites for this Serie A game, with a 71% chance of winning. Cagliari are given 10%, and the draw 18%. If you want one score, our predicted score is Como 2–0 Cagliari, at 12%. Como are expected to score 2.3 goals and Cagliari 0.8, 3.1 between them. Both teams scoring is only 49% and three or more goals is 60%.
Of their last five meetings on our records, Como have won three, Cagliari none, and two were drawn. When they last met, it finished Cagliari 1–2 Como, in Mar 2026. On shots, our forecast is 21.1 for Como and 8.1 for Cagliari, with 6.4 and 2.9 on target, and corners at 6.3 to 2.2. So we expect Como to do more of the shooting.
Of the players, Nico Paz of Como tops our shots forecast at 4.2, if they start. Anastasios Douvikas (Como) leads for shots on target, at 1.2. For cards, Jayden Addai (Como) has been booked once every 2 games in 2025/26, more often than anyone else here. In their last six games Como have six wins, no draws and no defeats, while Cagliari have one win, one draw and four defeats. Both won their most recent match. Bawler's pick for this game is Como or Draw, Paul Mendy 1+ Foul Committed and Anastasios Douvikas 1+ Shot on Target. Our model gives all three landing together a 50% chance, which makes the fair price Evens (2.01).
