The Italian Serie A returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Como and AC Milan go head-to-head at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia on Tuesday. This will be the first meeting between the two sides since May 2003, when the Rossoneri secured a 2-0 victory on home turf.
Como turned in a resilient team display on Friday when they fought back from behind to salvage a 1-1 draw against Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico.
Cesc Fabregas’ men now return home, where they are unbeaten in their last three games, playing out a 1-1 draw with Monza on November 30 before claiming back-to-back wins over AS Roma and Lecce.
Como have picked up 19 points from their 19 Serie A games to sit 16th in the league table, level on points with Parma and Hellas Verona.
Elsewhere, AC Milan were denied their first league win of the year as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Cagliari at the San Siro on Saturday. Before that, the Rossoneri clinched their first piece of silverware for the season on January 6 courtesy of a 3-2 victory over rivals Inter Milan in the Supercoppa Italiana final.
AC Milan have picked up seven wins and seven draws from their 18 Serie A matches so far to collect 28 points and sit eighth in the league table, one point behind seventh-places Bologna.
