There is an argument that Wednesday night is the biggest match in Como's history, at least in terms of the occasion and the opponent.
In what is their first-ever season in the UEFA Champions League, a home tie against one of the biggest clubs in the world would have been what everyone involved at Como would have wanted, and to make the situation even more exciting, they have a great chance of picking up all three points.
Cesc Fabregas' men are unbeaten at home in all competitions this season, and were excellent in their first Champions League match here last month, downing RB Leipzig 3-2.
Although their form has curtailed slightly in recent weeks, they picked up a confidence-boosting three points at the weekend, winning 3-1 away at Fiorentina.
Fabregas is sweating on the availability of Trevoh Chalobah and Moise Kean, but Assane Diao has been ruled out.
Another reason why the Italian side have a good chance of winning is Man Utd's form, which has seen them go six games without a win in all competitions.
Michael Carrick seemed happy enough with a point at Elland Road at the weekend, which may suggest his primary focus now is not losing games rather than going out and trying to win.
If United can win in Como on Wednesday night, it will be their first away win of the season, and could be a turning point. However, based on their performances over the course of the season so far, a win is unlikely.
Carrick is dealing with his fair share of injuries at present, with Manuel Ugarte, Patrick Dorgu and Benjamin Sesko out, Lisandro Martinez, Ayden Heaven and Kobbie Mainoo doubts, and Leny Yoro suspended.
