Como v Manchester United: Champions League preview

Recent form points different ways

Como have won two of their last five recent matches, drawing one and losing two. The most recent of those was a 3-1 win against FIO on 18 October. Manchester United, by contrast, have drawn three and lost two across the same span, most recently a 1-1 draw with LEE three days ago. United have not won any of those five.

What victory would mean

A win for either side would lift them to six points from three matches. A draw would leave both on four points from three, while defeat would keep the loser on three points from three games played. The market-implied probability gives Como a 39.8 per cent chance of victory, Manchester United 34.7 per cent, and the draw 25.5 per cent. Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool lead the table on nine points from three matches, five sides sit on six points, and Como and United occupy the two places immediately below that cluster.
