Como
Manchester UnitedForm guide
Como are fifth in Serie A with 14 points from seven games, with four wins, two draws and one defeat. They have beaten Napoli and Genoa away and won 3-1 at Fiorentina at the weekend. In the Champions League they hammered RB Leipzig 4-1 at home on matchday one but lost 3-2 at Feyenoord last week, so they have three points. Seven of their last eight games had at least two goals, the exception being a 0-0 draw with Roma.
Manchester United are struggling. They have won only once in their last eight games, 4-0 at home to Sabah in the Champions League, and are winless in six since: defeats by Manchester City, Brighton and Atlético Madrid, and draws with Fulham, Tottenham and Leeds. They have three points in Europe after losing 2-0 in Madrid last week. Seven of their last eight games had two or more goals.
Head-to-head
We found no previous competitive meeting between the two clubs.
Team news
United's injury list is long and hits the defence hardest: Yoro is suspended, and Dorgu, Mazraoui and de Ligt are out, along with Ugarte and forward Šeško. Como are without striker Kean and midfielder Diao.
Our prediction and why
The result is too close to call, so we take over 1.5 goals. Both teams' games regularly have goals, Como have scored 17 in their last eight games, and United's patched-up defence has conceded in each of their last six.
Other bets to consider
Como or draw (1X) fits the form, but United's quality makes it a riskier bet than the goals line.
