REF’s picks

Como enter this fixture in strong domestic form and sit comfortably in the upper reaches of the table, making them clear favourites at home. Fabregas's side have shown real attacking quality through players like Nico Paz, though defensive absentees like Trevoh Chalobah could offer Sassuolo a way through. Backing the hosts to claim all three points is a solid choice given the visitors' severe injury crisis and suspension issues.

1. 1Como boast a strong home record and sit well above Sassuolo in the Serie A standings.
2. 2Sassuolo travel without key suspended figures like Domenico Berardi and Josh Doig alongside numerous injuries.
3. 3Como's defensive vulnerabilities without key personnel could allow Sassuolo to find the net, making a clean sweep far from guaranteed.
