Como faced a defeat in the Serie A Week 19 match on Tuesday, January 14, 2025, held at the Giuseppe Sinigaglia Stadium in Como, Italy. After two draws at home, Milan bounced back to secure a victory in Serie A. This win allows Milan to surpass Bologna, who will be playing against Inter tomorrow, moving them up to seventh in the standings, just five points shy of fourth-placed Lazio, although they have a game in hand. Como’s run of positive results comes to an end at two, having not lost since their match against Inter on December 23. Fabregas’ squad remains in sixteenth place with 19 points, tied with Parma and Verona, and one point ahead of third-from-bottom Cagliari.

This game marks the first of three rescheduled matches involving the four teams that participated in the Italian Super Cup, which AC Milan claimed in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. It will be Sergio Conceiçao’s first away game in the league, having started his Milan coaching career with two victories before settling for a draw against Cagliari in his league debut last Saturday.

Como took the initiative in the 60th minute when Assane Diao found the back of the net with a left-footed shot aimed at the bottom right corner. The goal was set up by Maxence Caqueret, who delivered a pass to the former Betis player. Diao then made his way into the area on his left foot and fired a shot towards the near post, which Maignan couldn’t get to in time.

Stats before the game:

Como and Milan return to face each other in Serie A after 21 years and 256 days, that is, since May 3, 2003: victory for the Rossoneri 2-0 at the Meazza, with goals from Filippo Inzaghi and Alessandro Nesta.

Milan have remained unbeaten in the last 11 matches against Como in Serie A (6W, 5D), winning the two most recent; the last success of the Como team against the Rossoneri in the top league dates back to January 13, 1985 (2-0 at the Meazza, with Ottavio Bianchi as coach of the white and blues).

Milan won the last away match against Como in Serie A (2-1 on December 15, 2002); the Rossoneri have never obtained two away wins in a row against the Como team in the top league.

Como have lost only one of the last six league games (2W, 3D), after having been defeated four times in the previous five (1D).

Milan are coming off two draws in a row in the league (vs Roma and Cagliari) and could end three consecutive games in a draw in Serie A for the first time since September 2018, under Gennaro Gattuso. Como have won their last two home league games (vs Roma and Lecce, both 2-0), the last time they achieved three home wins in a row in Serie A dates back to the period between October and November 1984, with Ottavio Bianchi at the helm.
