Como welcome Manchester United to the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia with both clubs on three points after two Champions League games. Their first meeting offers a chance to recover from European defeats.
Como Respond to Rotterdam Defeat with Three Goals
Como followed their 3-2 Champions League defeat at Feyenoord on October 14 with a 3-1 Fiorentina win four days later. Nico Paz contributed a goal and an assist, and Anastasios Douvikas scored for the second consecutive match.
Assane Diao is out, while Moise Kean and Trevoh Chalobah remain doubtful. Chalobah lasted just 14 minutes on Sunday, leaving Cesc Fàbregas to prepare Jacobo Ramón and Marc Kempf for Bryan Mbeumo’s runs.
Como predicted lineup vs Manchester United (4-2-3-1): Butez; Yan Couto, Ramón, Kempf, Valle; Milla, Da Cunha; Jesús Rodríguez, Paz, Baturina; Douvikas.
Yoro’s Suspension Stretches United’s Defence
United lost 2-0 at Atlético in the Champions League on October 13 before Sunday’s 1-1 Leeds draw. Mbeumo has scored in each of his last two league games, with Youri Tielemans supplying two big chances at Elland Road.
The latest injury update leaves Martínez doubtful after a thigh problem at Leeds, though he is expected to start, while Yoro is suspended. Dorgu is out; Shaw, Mainoo and Šeško are fitness concerns, limiting Michael Carrick’s rotation options with three days between fixtures.
Manchester United predicted lineup vs Como (4-2-3-1): Lammens; Mazraoui, Maguire, Martínez, Dalot; Andrey Santos, Baleba; Amad, Tielemans, Bruno Fernandes; Mbeumo.
Como vs Manchester United Prediction
- Safe Tip: Both Teams To Score – Yes
- Odds: 1.51 (22Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Como 2-1 Manchester United
- 22Bet Booking Code: 9X282
Key stats:
- Como scored six goals across their first two Champions League games.
- BTTS landed in four of United’s last five competitive matches.
- United conceded in all five of those games.
Douvikas has scored in both European fixtures, giving Como a reliable outlet despite Diao’s absence. United’s last five competitive opponents all scored, and Yoro’s absence leaves that defence even thinner.
Tielemans’ two big chances created at Leeds give Mbeumo service even when United surrender possession. The main risk is United failing to score again, as in Madrid, but Mbeumo’s recent finishing makes BTTS Yes at 1.51 the logical play.
Como vs Manchester United Prediction, Value Tip

The clubs have never met, so Como’s 4-1 home win over Leipzig provides a useful European benchmark. United have conceded in each of their last five winless games, so Como’s home advantage should count.
Como produced eight shots on target at Fiorentina, and United’s defensive absences are the factor the market underestimates. Como Draw No Bet refunds the stake on a draw; a 2-1 home win in this Champions League fixture wins both selections.
Verdict: Both Teams To Score – Yes (1.51) — Como 2-1 Manchester United.
