Both seeking their first win of the new Serie A season, Cagliari and freshly promoted Como meet at Unipol Domus on Monday evening.
While the Sardinian side shut out Roma to earn an opening-day draw, the visitors were swept aside by Juventus on their top-flight return.
We say: Cagliari 2-1 Como
Having been kept afloat by their home form last season, Cagliari will be relying on beating fellow safety-hunters on Sardinian soil. They can do so on this occasion, as Como could take time to settle in Serie A and look vulnerable at the back.

Both 3-0 winners on Serie A's opening matchday, Hellas Verona and Juventus aim to continue in the same vein on Monday, when they meet at Stadio Bentegodi.
After Verona stunned Napoli with a superb second-half display, new-look Juve crushed newly-promoted Como in their first game under Thiago Motta.
We say: Hellas Verona 0-2 Juventus
There is early evidence that Juventus will be more coherent under Thiago Motta, so they should prove a much tougher nut to crack than Verona's opening opponents, an ailing Napoli side.
Juve look revived, so with Dusan Vlahovic up front and plenty of pace out wide, they can exploit any weaknesses in the hosts' defence.
