Como vs Manchester United Prediction and Match Preview

Como and Manchester United’s recent form

Como’s last five results in all competitions are two wins, one draw and two defeats. Their latest outing was a 3-1 win away to Fiorentina, following a 2-3 Champions League loss at Feyenoord. Before that, they drew 0-0 with Roma, lost 0-2 at Frosinone and beat Parma 2-1.

Manchester United have not won in their last five listed matches: they drew three and lost two. Their most recent result was a 1-1 draw away to Leeds, after a 0-2 defeat at Atletico Madrid in Europe. They also drew with Tottenham and Fulham, and lost 2-3 to Brighton in the League Cup. Both teams therefore arrive seeking a response to their previous Champions League defeat.

What the Champions League numbers show

The table has Como in 17th and Manchester United in 18th, with both on three points and a +2 goal difference. Each has one home win and one away defeat in the competition so far, and the listed form for both is a win followed by a loss. They are separated by one place rather than by points or goal difference.

The home-and-away scoring figures offer a small sample after two matches. Como have averaged four goals scored and one conceded per home game, compared with two scored and three conceded away. United have averaged four scored and none conceded at home, but have yet to score in their away match, in which they conceded twice. These figures describe only the opening two fixtures and should be viewed in that context. No recent head-to-head fixtures were found, so there is no current meeting history to compare.

Como vs Manchester United team news

The starting line-ups have not been published and are normally confirmed around 30 minutes before kick-off. UEFA’s preview includes predicted teams, but those are not confirmed XIs. Como’s Assane Diao is listed as out, while Trevoh Chalobah and Moise Kean are doubtful according to UEFA.

Manchester United’s Patrick Dorgu and Benjamin Šeško were reported absent, and Leny Yoro is suspended. Sky also reported that Lisandro Martínez, Ayden Heaven, Luke Shaw, Kobbie Mainoo and Marcus Rashford missed training on Tuesday, with their availability not confirmed. Those reports make the team news provisional until the club and matchday line-ups provide clarity.
