AC Milan and Como will clash in a rescheduled match for the 24th round of Serie A. This encounter will take place at San Siro, where Max Allegri’s team faces Cesc Fàbregas’s squad just over a month after their previous encounter, which ended in a 3-1 victory for the Rossoneri at the Sinigaglia.
This matchup is crucial for Milan, who recently edged out Pisa 2-1, as they need to secure a win to keep their title hopes alive following Inter’s victory over Juventus. Meanwhile, Como is in a fierce battle for a European spot, and a positive result against Milan could significantly narrow the gap to a Champions League position.
The match will be broadcast live in Spain on DAZN, Movistar+ Lite, M+ Liga de Campeones 5, M+ Vamos, M+ #Vamos Bar, Orange Fútbol 3, and LaLiga TV M3. In Mexico, fans can tune in on ESPN 2 and Disney+. For viewers in South America, the match will be available on Disney+, while in the United States, it can be watched on Paramount+, DAZN, and Fubo Sports.
Kickoff is scheduled for Wednesday, February 18, at 20:45 CET in Italy. For international viewers, the start times are as follows: 13:45 in Mexico, 16:45 in Argentina, and 14:45 in the United States. Those traveling abroad may need a VPN to access their usual streaming services securely.
Milan will miss Rabiot, who was sent off in the previous match, and will likely replace him with Ricci, with Loftus-Cheek also in contention and potential rotation for Fofana. The fitness of Leao and Pulisic remains uncertain, but Nkunku is ready to contribute. Saelemaekers has returned to training with the squad.
Como, on the other hand, will be without Morata, facing an imminent suspension. Diego Carlos is expected to return to the defense after sitting out last Saturday, while Caqueret may also retain his starting position in the midfield.
Milan has been in remarkable form, recording four wins in their last five matches, with the latest two victories being away from home against Pisa and Bologna. Como’s positive streak came to a halt with their recent loss to Fiorentina.
Historically, this will be the third official meeting between Milan and Como at San Siro, with the Rossoneri claiming victory in both of the previous encounters. Currently, Milan sits second in Serie A with 53 points, trailing Inter by eight points and leading Napoli by three. Como holds the seventh position with 41 points, six points away from a Champions League qualifying spot.
This match promises to be an exciting display of football as both teams strive for crucial points in their respective campaigns.
