Como Team News: Nico Paz a doubt

Argentina international Nico Paz has been a key man for Como since his move from Real Madrid last summer but the attacking midfielder is an injury doubt for the visit of the Rossoneri.

As well as Nico Paz, Como have several other injury concerns and summer signings Alberto Moreno, Sergi Roberto and Maximo Perrone are all serious doubts for this one.

Predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Butez; Van Der Brempt, Dossena, Kempf, Felipe Jack; Da Cunha, Engelhardt; Strefezza, Diao, Fadera; Cutrone

Unavailable: 

Questionable: Alberto Moreno (Injured), Sergi Roberto (Injured), Maximo Perrone (Injured), Nico Paz (Injured)

AC Milan Team News: Trying to build

Former Porto boss Sergio Conceicao is a couple of weeks into his Milan career and he has already felt emboldened enough to switch to his preferred 4-4-2 system away from the 4-2-3-1.

They do have a few injury issues including both Alessandro Florenzi and Samu Chukwueze, whilst Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Switzerland international Noah Okafor are doubts.

Predicted XI (4-4-2): Maignan; Calabria, Tomori, Thiaw, Hernandez; Pulisic, Musah, Fofana, Reijnders; Alvaro Morata, Leao

Unavailable: Florenzi (Injured), Chukwueze (Injured)

Questionable: Loftus-Cheek (Injured), Okafor (Injured)

Como vs AC Milan Prediction

Como come into this one on the back of a respectable 1-1 draw with Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico at the weekend. Lazio took the lead via Boulaye Dia but Patrick Cutrone equalised for Cesc Fabregas’ side around 15 minutes after Loum Tchaouna had been sent off for Lazio. After winning the Supercoppa Italiana in his first two games in charge with come from behind victories against Juventus and Internazionale, Sergio Conceicao and his AC Milan followed that up with a frustrating 1-1 draw against Cagliari at San Siro in which Alvaro Morata’s goal was cancelled out by Nadir Zortea. Those set of results were exactly the frustration with Paulo Fonseca and his reign; big wins before frustrating results against weaker sides. Como will fancy their chances but Milan have an abundance of attackers so it could be quite a fun game for the neutral.

Como vs AC Milan Tip: Both teams to score
