On Tuesday, January 14, in the 19th round of Serie A, Como will host Milan. The match kicks off at 18:30 Central European Time. I propose a prediction for the winner of this encounter.
Interisting facts about the match and head-to-head history
- Como has lost only 1 of their last 5 Serie A matches.
- Milan is unbeaten in their last 7 games across all competitions.
- Milan has won only 2 of their previous 5 away matches.
- The last time Como defeated Milan was in 1985.
- In 32 matches between these teams, Milan leads the series with 17 wins to Como's 5.
Match preview
Como returned to Serie A for the first time since the 2002/03 season. Thanks to prominent leadership and significant transfer activity, they’ve become one of the most talked-about teams in Italy. During the current winter transfer window, Como has already spent €30 million on signings, the latest being Maxence Caqueret from Lyon for €16.5 million.
Despite the financial investments, the team, led by the legendary Cesc Fàbregas, is fighting to survive in Serie A. Como currently sits in 15th place with 19 points, just 1 point above the relegation zone. However, their recent performances have been promising. In their last game, "Larijani" surprisingly drew 1-1 against Lazio and previously defeated Lecce (2-0), lost to Inter (0-2), and beat Roma (2-0). Over the past five rounds, Como has accumulated 8 points.
Milan is going through a challenging period. After Stefano Pioli's departure, the club appointed Paulo Fonseca, but the former Lille manager struggled at San Siro. He was dismissed at the end of 2024, and Sérgio Conceição was brought in as the new head coach.
Conceição’s start at Milan has been remarkable. At the beginning of the year, the Rossoneri won the Italian Super Cup held in Saudi Arabia. They defeated Juventus 2-1 in the semifinals and completed an impressive comeback against Inter to win 3-2 in the final. However, Milan could only draw 1-1 with Cagliari over the weekend despite dominating the second half.
Predicted lineups
- Como: Butez; Van der Brempt, Goldaniga, Kempf, Moreno; Mazzitelli, Engelhardt; Strefezza, Da Cunha, Fadera; Cutrone
- Milan: Maignan; Emerson, Tomori, Thiaw, Hernández; Fofana, Bennacer; Pulisic, Reijnders, Leão; Morata
Como vs Milan prediction
Como has shown significant improvement lately, but Milan remains the clear favorite for this match. My prediction: a victory for the visitors.
