Como preview: Impressive Como
Cesc Fabregas’ big spending and ambitious Como begin this catch up midweek round of fixtures sitting tucked inside the top six in Serie A, just five points adrift of the top four after an impressive recent run of form.
Following on from three successive victories, Como most recently shared a 1-1 draw with ten-man Bologna at home, snatching a point courtesy of a Martin Baturina deep into second-half stoppage-time.
AC Milan preview: Title challenging Milan
AC Milan head into the midweek sitting three points behind city rivals Internazionale at the top-of-the-table with the Rossoneri maintaining some solid form, albeit quite tedious to watch, under the management of Massimiliano Allegri.
Milan come into this one on the back of snatching their own point at the weekend as they shared a 1-1 draw with Fiorentina at the Stadio Artemio Franchi, courtesy of a 90th minute equaliser scored by Christopher Nkunku.
Como team news: A few injuries
The hosts have no fresh injury issues but they are dealing with a few key absentees in attack, such as wing duo Assane Diao and Jayden Addai, as well as Alvaro Morata.
Predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Butez; Van Der Brempt, Kempf, Diego Carlos, Alberto Moreno; Maximo Perrone, Da Cunha; Vojvoda, Nico Paz, Jesus Rodriguez; Douvikas

AC Milan team news: Tomori suspended

Predicted XI (3-5-2): Maignan; De Winter, Gabbia, Bartesaghi; Saelemaekers, Loftus-Cheek, Modric, Ricci, Pervis Estupinan; Leao, Pulisic
Unavailable: Tomori (Suspended), Santiago Gimenez (Injured)
Questionable: Pavlovic (Concussion)
Como vs AC Milan prediction
Cesc Fabregas has got his Como side to play a very composed and controlled style of football in possession. A criticism of the hosts would perhaps, though, be a lack of precision and efficiency in the final third. AC Milan will ensure that is again the case here with their defensive style and quite tepid football, trying to play on the counter-attack. That style may well suit the Rossoneri here and they represent a good value bet.
Como vs AC Milan tip: Double chance – AC Milan to win or draw
