AC Milan welcome Como to the San Siro on Saturday, 15 March in a match that the home team must win in order to keep alive any aspirations of qualifying for European football next season.
The hosts come into the match in ninth position in Serie A after a miserable season, but they are still only six points behind Bologna in sixth, so all is not lost yet.
Como, meanwhile, are just four places behind AC Milan in the league table and have fared well on their return to the Italian top flight.
As part of our latest round of Serie A betting tips, here is our AC Milan vs Como prediction.

AC Milan vs Como prediction: Como to take at least a point
Key Stats

- Como's only loss in the last month was when they were reduced to ten men.
- All of AC Milan's last four matches have produced three goals or more.
Correct score prediction: AC Milan 2-2 Como
AC Milan have been in miserable form lately and their narrow victory over Lecce last time out wasn't nearly convincing enough to make us believe they can win back-to-back league matches for the first time since September. Como are a tough nut to crack and have shown enough in recent weeks to suggest they can capitalise on Milan's fragility.
Pre-game odds and win probability: The hosts start as favourites
- HOME: 5/6 (1.83) – 54.5%
- DRAW: 27/10 (3.70) – 27%
- AWAY: 16/5 (4.20) – 23.8%

AC Milan preview: Searching for a spark
AC Milan have been searching for a bit of magic all season but consistent performances have quite simply been impossible to come by. They now have just ten games to rescue their domestic campaign and if they can't find any magic then they won't be playing in Europe next season.
Predicted lineup: Sportiello (GK), Walker, Gabbia, Tomori, Hernandez, Fofana, Musah, Pulisic, Reijnders, Leao, Gimenez

Como preview: A solid return to Serie A
The last time Como were in the Serie A, it was just for a flying visit as they went down the season after being promoted and then weren't seen again for more than 20 years. This time around, they have more financial backing behind them and are set to stay up with relative ease. It's a job well done by Cesc Fabregas.
Predicted lineup: Butez (GK), Smolcic, Goldaniga, Engelhardt, Valle, Perrone, Caqueret, Cunha, Strefezza, Paz, Diao

Player to watch: Rafael Leao
This could well be the final few months of Rafael Leao's AC Milan career and the Portuguese winger won't want to leave the club under a cloud. It hasn't been his best season, but if he can somehow find his best form and drag the club into European football next season, then he has more chance of leaving with the blessing of the Milan faithful.
