Cagliari will host Como at the Unipol Domus on Saturday in Serie A, with the home side looking to secure vital points in their bid to move further away from the relegation zone.
The home team head into this clash sitting six points clear of the relegation zone, but without a win in their last four league matches. Their last Serie A game ended in a 1-1 draw against Parma.
Inconsistency at Unipol Domus remains a concern, as Fabio Pisacane’s side have managed just three wins from their last eight home matches and will be looking to improve on their form.
Meanwhile, Como climbed to fifth place after a convincing 3-1 victory over Lecce. Their rise up the table has been fuelled by strong recent form, with just one defeat in their last seven Serie A games.
Under Cesc Fabregas, Como have improved drastically and a recent triumph over Juventus boosted hopes of securing European qualification. Their performances on the road have also been impressive, as they are unbeaten in their last seven games across all competitions.

Cagliari vs Como prediction: Away team to get narrow win
Key statistics
- Como are unbeaten across their last seven away matches, although they have failed to keep a clean sheet in three of those outings.
- Como have not lost to Cagliari in their last three meetings, boasting two draws and one win.
- Over 2.5 goals have been scored in three of the teams' last five encounters.
Correct score prediction: Cagliari 1-2 Como
We expect the visiting side to edge out this competitive encounter and return to Lombardy with maximum points. We predict a 2-1 victory for Como based on their incredible away form in their last seven games.
While we believe the home side will be buoyed by their vocal supporters and likely find the net, their defensive lapses remain a concern.
Given that Como have managed to win four of their last five away matches in Serie A, we are confident they will have enough firepower to overcome the Rossoblu.

- Draw: 14/5 (3.80) – 26.3%

Most recent head-to-head: Como edge previous meetings
Looking at the previous encounters between these two clubs, the recent record shows a fair distribution of results across their previous meetings, with Como having a slight edge. Cagliari have won one and Como have won two of their last five meetings.
In their most recent top-flight clash in November 2025, the two sides played out a stalemate in a game that ended 0-0. Before that, Como secured a dominant 3-1 home victory, while Cagliari managed a 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture earlier that season.
This history suggests that while Como currently hold the better league position, Cagliari has found ways to frustrate their opponents, particularly when playing in Sardinia.

Cagliari preview: Midfield and attacking depth stretched with injury
Cagliari remain without several key players, with Luca Mazzitelli, Alessandro Deiola, Gianluca Gaetano, Mattia Felici, Andrea Belotti and Gennaro Borrelli all sidelined through injury.
The lengthy absence list significantly limits the hosts’ options in both midfield and attack, forcing the manager to rely on the remaining available squad members as they look to maintain balance in the side.
Predicted lineup: Caprile (GK), Ze Pedro, Dossena, Rodriguez, Palestra, Adopo, Liteta, Sulemana, Obert, Kilicsoy & Esposito
Last five fixtures
- 27.02.26 – Parma 1–1 Cagliari (Serie A)
- 21.02.26 – Cagliari 0–0 Lazio (Serie A)
- 16.02.26 – Cagliari 0–2 Lecce (Serie A)
- 09.02.26 – AS Roma 2–0 Cagliari (Serie A)
- 31.01.26 – Cagliari 4–0 Verona (Serie A)
Como preview: Defensive setback, but squad largely intact
Como still have a healthy squad despite some absentees. They will be without Marc-Oliver Kempf due to injury, dealing a blow to their defensive options ahead of this clash.
Teenage winger Jayden Addai also remains unavailable after suffering a serious Achilles injury, which has ruled him out for an extended period. Despite those setbacks, Como still retain strong attacking options elsewhere in the squad.
Predicted lineup: Butez (GK), Van Der Brempt, Ramon, Diego Carlos, Moreno, Perrone, Da Cunha, Vojvoda, Caqueret, Rodriguez & Douvikas
Last five fixtures
- 03.03.26 – Como 0–0 Inter (Coppa Italia)
- 28.02.26 – Como 3–1 Lecce (Serie A)
- 21.02.26 – Juventus 0–2 Como (Serie A)
- 18.02.26 – AC Milan 1–1 Como (Serie A)
- 14.02.26 – Como 1–2 Fiorentina (Serie A)
Player to watch: Anastasios Douvikas
Anastasios Douvikas is one of the key players to watch for the visiting side and he remains their most potent attacking weapon this season. The Greek international has been in impressive form this season, contributing nine goals and providing one assist.
His experience in high-pressure situations and his finishing ability make him a constant threat to a Cagliari defence. We expect his intelligent movement between the lines and his aerial prowess to be the deciding factor in breaking down the home side and securing a win for his team.
