Como will be looking to extend their winning streak when they host Milan at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia this Thursday. The Lariani will look to continue their impressive resurgence against one of the league's top sides.
The home side were forced to settle for a point on Saturday after a 94th-minute equaliser against ten-man Bologna brought their three-game Serie A winning streak to a halt. Despite that late setback, Cesc Fabregas’ side remains well placed in the European race, sitting inside the top six.
Their push has been built on impressive defensive solidity, with only league leaders Inter Milan having managed to score more than once against Como in a single league match this season.
That strength is especially evident at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia, where just four league goals have been conceded, helping fuel an 11-match unbeaten home run in all competitions.
On the other hand, AC Milan face a short trip to face Como, whose home form has been tremendous. They have managed two wins, two draws and one loss in their last five games.
However, a 1-1 draw with struggling Fiorentina last weekend felt like a missed opportunity, particularly with title rivals Inter and Napoli sharing the points in a 2-2 draw. Milan are now at risk of surrendering further ground unless they can improve on their form.

Como vs Milan prediction: Visitors to nick narrow win
Key statistics
- Their last five meetings have been won by AC Milan.
- The Rossoneri have won by a 2-1 scoreline in four of their last five encounters.
- BTTS has been played in four of their last five clashes.
Correct score prediction: Como 1-2 Milan
We expect a highly competitive encounter that will ultimately see the away team edge out a narrow victory. We predict a 1–2 win for Milan because, while Como has made their home ground a fortress this season, the visitors have had the upper hand in this encounter.
The Rossoneri have a history of finding late winners in difficult away matches and their superior squad depth should allow them to outlast a tiring Como defence in the final stages. In previous meetings, Milan have found a way to break down the home team and will likely be the same outcome in this encounter.
Pre-match odds and win probability: Tight contest expected
- Home: 9/5 (2.80) – 35.7%
- Draw: 11/5 (3.20) – 31.3%
- Away: 6/4 (2.50) – 40.0%
*Odds provided by Ladbrokes. Subject to change.*
The bookmakers slightly favour AC Milan at 2.50 odds, implying a 40.0% chance of an away win. Como are priced at 2.80 (35.7%) to claim a valuable home victory, while the draw is available at 3.20 (31.3%).
The odds point to a close match, with Milan’s extra quality just edging them ahead, but home advantage giving Como a strong chance of competing and also causing an upset.
Most recent head-to-head: Total domination from Milan
Looking at the history between these two clubs, the recent record shows that Milan have had the upper hand in these encounters. Across these last five fixtures, Milan has claimed victories in all.
In the most recent season, the Rossoneri completed a league double over the Lariani, winning both matches with a 2–1 scoreline. This consistency shows that while Como is a rapidly improving side, they have yet to find the formula to take points off the seven-time European champions.

Player to watch: Christian Pulisic
Christian Pulisic is the player to watch in this clash, as he is currently one of the most impactful forwards for the AC Milan team. The winger has been the highest goal scorer for the team this season with eight goals and two assists.
He has shown a level of consistency that few defenders in Italy can match. We expect much of the attacking play from the Rossoneri to be channelled through him as they look to break down the Lariani on their own turf.
