2 Goals in 2 for Anastasios Douvikas

Como have won 3 of their last 4 home games.
Como’s Anastasios Douvikas has scored 2 goals in his last 2 matches.
Man United have lost 3 of their last 6 games.

H2H - First Encounter

This will be the first-ever meeting between Como and Man United.

Como Control Home Games

Como are in hard-to-beat form and are undefeated in seven of their last nine matches, winning five.

The Serie A team were on a four-match winning streak, including a 4-1 Champions League home win over Leipzig. Anastasios Douvikas found the net in two of those matches.

The Blue and Whites also beat Parma 2-0 at home before a 2-0 loss at Frosinone and a 0-0 home draw with Roma. Como then lost 3-2 at Feyenoord in the Champions League, where Douvikas scored again.

Cesc Fabregas’ side beat Fiorentina 3-1 away in Serie A on Sunday. Como had eight shots on target and Mattia Liberali, Nico Paz and Douvikas got on the scoresheet.

Man United’s Long-Term Struggles Continue

Michael Carrick’s Man United are out of form in 2026/27 and have failed to win in eight of their 10 matches. One of United’s rare wins came against Sabah Baku 4-0 at home in the Champions League.

The Red Devils are winless in six consecutive games since that victory. United lost 2-0 at Atletico Madrid in their second European game and had -1 XG.

The Manchester outfit’s winless run continued after a 1-1 draw at Leeds. Carrick’s side were second best with 0.92-1.41 XG and 39% possession and Bryan Mbeumo’s first-half strike earned a point.

Predicted Starting Lineups & Team News

Como (4-2-3-1): Robert Sanchez; Ivan Smolcic, Marc Oliver Kempf, Jacobo Ramon, Alex Valle; Maximo Perrone, Luis Milla; Mattia Liberali, Nico Paz, Kaiki; Anastasios Douvikas

Attacker Moise Kean is doubtful due to a leg injury. Winger Assane Diao could also miss out with a thigh issue.

Defender Trevoh Chalobah came off injured against Fiorentina and is an injury doubt. Cesc Fabregas was cautious about Chalobah’s condition post-match and said, “we'll see tomorrow" to see if he could face United.

Man United (4-2-3-1): Senne Lammens; Leny Yoro, Harry Maguire, Noussair Mazraoui, Diogo Dalot; Andrey Santos, Carlos Baleba; Amad Diallo, Youri Tielemans, Bruno Fernandes; Bryan Mbeumo

Defensive pair Luke Shaw and Ayden Heaven and midfielder Kobbie Mainoo are injury doubts. Midfielder Manuel Ugarte, winger Patrick Dorgu and striker Benjamin Sesko are ruled out with long-term injuries.

Lisandro Martinez was subbed off at half time against Leeds and is an injury doubt. Michael Carrick confirmed the defender had sustained an injury and said, “he felt his thigh a little bit.”

Verdict

Como v Man Utd

Como create chances and score goals at home and Anastasios Douvikas can find the net against leaky United. The Red Devils are lacking any kind of form and the Blue and Whites can win again in the Champions League.
