Como – Champions League Form and Betting Odds

Como made history on Matchday One, securing their first-ever Champions League victory with an emphatic 4-1 home win over RB Leipzig. However, they struggled to build on that result, winning just one of their following four matches across all competitions. Cesc Fabregas’ side have since returned to winning ways, recording a 3-1 victory away at Fiorentina.
More history could await the Italian outfit on Wednesday evening. Como could become the first Italian side since Lazio in 1999/00 to win their opening two Champions League home matches. Furthermore, they have suffered just one defeat across their last ten home fixtures, providing plenty of encouragement ahead of United’s visit.
Wednesday’s encounter will mark Como’s first-ever competitive meeting with English opposition and represents another significant occasion in the club’s history. Despite their limited European experience, the hosts will fancy their chances against an out-of-form Manchester United side. William Hill make Como slight favourites at 5/4 to claim another memorable Champions League victory.

Manchester United – Champions League Form and Betting Odds

Manchester United travel to Italy for their third consecutive away fixture across all competitions. Sunday’s 1-1 draw at Leeds extended their winless run to six matches, increasing the pressure on Michael Carrick. The Red Devils will be desperate to end that sequence and get their Champions League campaign back on track.
United are enduring their longest winless run since 2019, whilst their recent European away record offers little encouragement. The Red Devils have won just one of their last ten Champions League matches on the road. Furthermore, they remain without an away victory across all competitions this season, highlighting the scale of the challenge facing Carrick’s side.
However, United’s historical record against Italian opposition provides reason for optimism ahead of Wednesday’s Como v Manchester United encounter. The Red Devils have lost just twice in their last 16 European meetings with Italian clubs (W10, D4). They have also suffered only one defeat in their previous eight away matches in Italy (W4, D3). Interestingly, United’s last Champions League away victory came under Carrick’s caretaker management. The visitors can be backed at 9/5 with William Hill to end their winless run.
