Como's four-goal nights and the three games since
Como have taken 10 points from their last six matches, winning three, drawing one and losing two, with 12 scored and eight conceded. The 4-1 against Leipzig, 41 days before this match, was not an isolated burst either. Six days earlier they had won 4-1 away at Genoa, and four days after Leipzig they beat Parma 2-1 at the Sinigaglia.
Then it flattened out. Cesc Fàbregas's side lost 0-2 away to Frosinone on 20 September, 31 days before this fixture, drew 0-0 at home with AS Roma, and lost 2-3 away to Feyenoord in the Champions League 7 days before United arrive.
So the read on Como is a side that scores in bursts at home and has been beaten twice on the road inside the run. Won two of their last three at home, one of three away.
Manchester United have won one of their last six
Manchester United have won one of their last six matches, drawing two and losing three for five points, with eight scored and eight conceded. The win was 4-0 at home to Sabah FK in the Champions League, 41 days before this game, and nothing since has looked like it.
Since then: 0-1 at home to Manchester City, 2-3 at home to Brighton & Hove Albion in the EFL Cup, 1-1 away at Fulham, 1-1 at home with Tottenham Hotspur, and a 0-2 defeat away to Atlético Madrid 8 days before this match. That is one home win in four and no away win in two.
The Atlético night is the direct comparison. United went to a serious European side, failed to score and lost by two.
Team news
Como are without Moise Kean, who has not recovered from a problem picked up on international duty with Italy and has been reported to need two to three weeks of rest, and Assane Diao, who was forced off after 23 minutes of the Feyenoord match with a muscle problem, per Tuttosport. Fàbregas said after that trip that "the Champions League is unforgiving, there are moments when you need a little more stability", reported by LiveScore. Michael Carrick has Noussair Mazraoui (back), Patrick Dorgu (hamstring), Manuel Ugarte (knee) and Benjamin Sesko (calf) out, with Luke Shaw and Kobbie Mainoo to be assessed after both missed the midweek fixture, while Lisandro Martínez is back in the squad: "We'll see on Luke and Kobbie. Ben's still undergoing a few checks before we give any updates on timelines," Carrick said, via Fantasy Football Scout and Yahoo Sports.
Will there be goals at the Sinigaglia?
Como's recent matches have been far busier than United's: three or more goals in the game in four of Como's last six, against two of six for Manchester United. Both sides scored in four of Como's six and three of United's.
Como have hit two or more in four of six. United have managed that twice. Each side kept one clean sheet in the run and each failed to score twice, so neither is watertight and neither is reliable going forward.
Como vs Manchester United prediction
Our prediction for Como vs Manchester United in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday 21 October 2026 is a 2-1 home win for Como at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia. Como have 10 points from their last six and two wins from three at home; United have five points from six and no away win in their last two.
United's attack is the problem. Eight goals in six, two or more in only two of those games, and a blank in Madrid against the best defence they have faced. Como score in clusters at home, and 4-1 against Leipzig at this ground is the evidence.
Our prediction: Como 2-1 Manchester United
