This Champions League game paints a fairly clear picture: Como will be the side holding more of the ball, waiting for the moment to break through Manchester United, who will likely drop back to defend and then counter. The home side has averaged nearly 60% possession in their last 10 matches, while Manchester United has had less of the ball and also fewer shots on target. Como's form in their own league looks clearly better, but they have just lost in this competition 2-3, while Manchester United have not won in 5 straight games, though mostly drawing and having just ended a cup game with a 0-2 defeat. Both teams' defences still show gaps, especially Manchester United, who concede late in games more often than at other times. If Como dominate possession as expected, the game should flow toward the home side attacking, but Manchester United have counter-attacking moments that make it hard to finish off easily. Como's first halves at home tend to be tight at the back and they often lead or are level at half-time, while the second half tends to open up more and is the period when Manchester United must be careful with their own defending.
