The starting lineup for each team in their previous match in this tournament is listed.
Como
Cesc Fabregas's team secured a point in their last away match against Lazio (1-1). Over the last six Serie A matches, Como has lost only once, a 0-2 defeat away to Inter (2 wins, 3 draws). The club sits in 15th place with 19 points, but the gap from 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 side played at home against Cagliari and could only manage a draw (1-1). Nonetheless, AC Milan extended their unbeaten run in the league to four matches (1 win, 3 draws). However, the team has scored just one goal in each of their last five Serie A games. Milan has 28 points and sits eighth in the league table. Notably, they rank only 12th in points earned away from home this season (11).
Defender Alessandro Florenzi, along with 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 have scored in 7 of the team's last 9 away league matches.
- The number "1" has appeared in the final scoreline in 5 of Milan's last 6 away Serie A games.
Como vs. AC Milan: Match Prediction
Cesc Fabregas's side has fully adapted to the Serie A level by mid-season. Como players feel confident even against the strongest opponents, particularly excelling in attacking play. At home, the team consistently finds the net: in eight home matches this season, they have failed to score only once, and in half of those games, they have scored at least twice.
AC Milan is also active in attack and shows high scoring ability even away from home: in their last nine away Serie A matches, the team has not left the field without scoring. At the same time, Milan struggles with defensive reliability, having kept a clean sheet only twice in the same period.
I see all the prerequisites for expecting both teams to score in this match. My prediction: Both teams to score – Yes
