AC Milan will host regional rivals Como at San Siro on Saturday evening, looking to build on last week’s dramatic comeback victory.
Christian Pulisic rescued Milan once again, scoring twice as they overturned a 2-0 deficit to beat Lecce 3-2 at Via del Mare, ending a three-game losing streak. The result reportedly saved head coach Sergio Conceicao from the sack, but questions over his future remain, with Milan sitting ninth in Serie A.
The Rossoneri have conceded at least twice in each of their last four league matches and were also eliminated from the Champions League by injury-hit Feyenoord. Losses to Torino, Bologna, and Lazio have left them eight points adrift of the top four with 10 games remaining, making every match a must-win.
Milan are unbeaten in their last 12 Serie A meetings with Como, but their visitors arrive in better form, having picked up seven points from their last four league games compared to Milan’s three. Como remain on track for top-flight survival and will look to take advantage of their hosts’ struggles.
