Como vs AC Milan prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2026-01-14 19:45.
[p]After faltering against a relegation battler at the weekend, making the short trip to European chasing Como is sure to heighten fears AC Milan could lose further ground in the Scudetto race.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Como needed a 94th-minute equaliser to claim a point against ten-man Bologna on Saturday, as their three-match winning league run came to an end. Cesc FĂ bregasâ men remain firmly in the hunt for the European places though, and occupy a top-six spot coming into this midweek round, owing largely to the defensive resilience theyâve displayed this season. Only league leaders Inter Milan have scored more than once in a Serie A game against Como this season, and with the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia seeing a league-low four opposition goals scored this term, not many would bet against Como extending their incredible home record this season which has seen them string together an unbeaten record spanning 11 competitive games (W7, D4). [/p]
[p]Milan donât have far to travel for this game – less than 50km in fact – and while an 18-match unbeaten league run (W11, D7) suggests they should make the short journey in high spirits, Sundayâs 1-1 draw with struggling Fiorentina will have left them tinged with disappointment. With their two nearest challengers Inter and Napoli playing out a 2-2 draw on Sunday night, Milan missed a great chance to improve their title odds. They risk losing more ground unless they can correct a poor six-game run of form (W2, D3, L1), but five defeats from their last six competitive Thursday-held fixtures (D1) certainly suggest theyâre up against it here. [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]A whopping 41 years have passed since Como last beat AC Milan (D5, L9). Theyâve lost the last four H2Hs, conceding exactly twice in each game. [/p]

[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]

[p]Como remain without on-loan Milan striker Ălvaro Morata. Milan will be sweating on the fitness of Strahinja PavloviÄ after he was withdrawn with an injury on Sunday.[/p]
