Como will entertain Cagliari at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia in Serie A on Saturday. The hosts have climbed to 10th place in the league table, though they only have a one-point lead over 12th-placed Udinese. The Isolani are 14th in the standings and have a seven-point lead over 18th-placed Venezia.
The Lariani made it five wins on the trot last week, recording a 1-0 away triumph over Parma. Gabriel Strefezza scored the only goal of the match in the 79th minute, with fellow substitute Anastasios Douvikas picking up his first assist of the season.
The visitors overcame Verona 2-0 away from home last month but lost 2-1 at home to Udinese last week. Nadir Zortea had equalized in the 35th minute, but Thomas Thiesson Kristensen restored Udinese's lead after the break.
