Kick-off: 18.02.2026, 19:45 UTC / 22:45 MSKStadium: San Siro
Competition: Serie A
Match Preview
AC Milan enters this match with an impressive home record, though recent performances have seen them drop points in matches they were expected to win. Manager Stefano Pioli has focused on tightening their defense while also looking to ignite their attacking prowess, which has been inconsistent lately. Notable absences, including key midfielders, could play a significant role in their tactical approach against a spirited Como side.
On the other hand, Como has managed to surprise many this season by holding their ground against some of the more formidable teams in Serie A. With a sturdy defense and opportunistic attack, manager Giacomo Gattuso has instilled a fighting spirit in the team. However, Como's away form has been a concern, making their task at the iconic San Siro even tougher, yet they will be eager to seize the opportunity to take a crucial point or more from the reigning champions.
Team Form and Analysis
Milan
AC Milan's defense has been solid but not impenetrable, often caught off-guard in crucial moments. In attack, the return of star striker Olivier Giroud boosts their resources significantly, while players like Rafael Leão provide pace and creativity. Nevertheless, injuries to key midfielders may prompt Pioli to adjust his strategy, prioritising dynamic play to maintain their top table position.
Como
Como’s defensive unit has displayed resilience against tougher opponents, led by a strong center-back pairing. While their attack possesses the capability to strike on counter-attacks, they’ll need to exhibit more creativity in this encounter. Gattuso may employ a conservative approach, focusing on organization and looking to exploit set-pieces, especially considering Milan's recent trouble defending these situations.
