You're right ..
a comma is used :
To separate two independent clauses
To separate two dependent clauses
To separate items.
I'd also use a comma.
You are likely to face so many sentences like this.

Well, these clauses are closely connected and short, so the comma is not obligatory. https://www.thepunctuationguide.com/comma.html
