Como vs Milan prediction, head-to-head and probable lineups - 15 January 2026
One of the fixtures of Serie A’s 16th round will take place on Thursday at the Giuseppe Sinigaglia Stadium in Como, where the local side, Como, will host Milan. I suggest a bet on goals in this clash, as there’s good value in this prediction.
Match preview
Como have firmly established themselves in mid-table and continue to collect points, remaining unbeaten in four consecutive rounds. Their most recent encounter against Bologna (1-1) showcased the team’s character—they managed to avoid defeat despite being down to ten men, keeping their status in the European competition zone intact. This is especially crucial with a challenging run of fixtures ahead, where every point counts.
However, attacking personnel issues could impact Como against Milan. Assane Diao, Jayden Addai, and Álvaro Morata remain unavailable, limiting options up front. The main hopes will rest on Baturina’s creativity and the opportunity for Kühn to step up. Despite a historically poor record against Milan, the current Como side looks competitive.
Milan have dropped points in back-to-back games against Genoa and Fiorentina, lacking either finishing or freshness. Particularly concerning is that Massimiliano Allegri’s team failed to learn from past mistakes—essentially, two draws against underdogs that could have easily turned into defeats. This has already sparked a wave of criticism, and now the Rossoneri will be highly motivated to set things right.
Milan’s lineup will see significant changes: Modric, Rabiot, Fofana, and Leão are all returning, while Füllkrug is sidelined through injury. The team’s main trump card at the moment is a flawless away record—unbeaten in nine matches on the road. In these circumstances, Milan must show maturity and experience to secure maximum points despite their unstable league form.
Probable lineups
- Como: Butte, Valle, Carlos Santos, Kempf, Smolcic, Caqueret, Perrone, Rodriguez, Pass, Kühn, Douvikas
- Milan: Maignan, Tomori, Gabbia, Pavlovic, Saelemaekers, Fofana, Modric, Rabiot, Bartesaghi, Pulisic, Leão
Match facts and head-to-head
- Milan are unbeaten away from home in this Serie A season.
- Como last defeated Milan in 1985.
- In six of Como’s last seven matches, only one team has scored.
Prediction
Como are showing consistent form and are ready to fight even against top sides, especially at home, where they remain unbeaten. However, the return of Milan’s key players and their motivation after two setbacks make the visitors favorites in this clash. That said, the “Larians” are capable of getting a result. As a bet, we suggest picking “Both teams to score”—this wager has come through in the last two meetings between these sides.
