Como
Cesc Fabregas's side earned a point in their last match, a 1-1 draw away against Lazio. Over their last six Serie A games, Como has lost only once, falling 0-2 away to Inter (2 wins, 3 draws). The club sits 15th in the standings with 19 points, but their lead over the relegation zone is just two points.
Midfielders Sergi Roberto and Nicolas Paz Martinez will miss the game due to injuries.
- The team has conceded no more than one goal in 6 of their last 9 Serie A matches.
- Exactly two goals have been scored in 5 of the club's last 6 home league games.
- Como has scored in 7 of their last 8 home Serie A matches.
AC Milan
In their last match, Sergio Conceicao's team played at home against Cagliari and could only manage a 1-1 draw. Nevertheless, AC Milan extended their unbeaten run in the league to four matches (1 win, 3 draws). The team has scored just one goal in each of their last five Serie A games. Milan holds 28 points and is eighth in the standings. Notably, in this championship, the club ranks only 12th in terms of points earned away (11).
Defender Alessandro Florenzi and forwards Samuel Chukwueze and Noah Okafor will miss the game due to injuries.
- The club has not won by more than one goal in their last 12 away Serie A matches.
- Both teams scored in 7 of the team's last 9 away league games.
- The number "1" has appeared in the final scoreline in 5 of Milan's last 6 away Serie A matches.
Como vs. AC Milan: Match Prediction
Cesc Fabregas's side has fully adapted to Serie A's level by mid-season. Como's players feel confident even against the strongest opponents, especially excelling in attacking play. At home, the team regularly finds the net: in eight home games this season, they have failed to score only once, and in half of these matches, they have scored at least twice.
AC Milan is also active in attack and shows high scoring ability even away: in nine recent away Serie A matches, the team has not left the field without scoring. However, Milan's defense is not particularly reliable: during the same period, they have kept a clean sheet in only two games.
All signs point to a likely exchange of goals in this match. Therefore, my prediction: Both teams to score – yes
