Como's first European campaign reaches a new high on Wednesday night when Manchester United visit in the third round of group-phase action in this season's UEFA Champions League.
The Italians, managed by ex-Arsenal and Chelsea star Cesc Fabregas, have won one and lost one so far.
And that mirrors United's record ahead of what promises to be an absorbing UEFA Champions League contest between two teams in mixed form.

Como v Manchester United Prediction
Best Bet: Both teams to score in 2nd half @ 13/8
It is a short price that both Como and Manchester United score in this matchday three shootout in Italy, and it's easy to see why.
Como's two games so far have produced a 4-1 win over RB Leipzig and a 3-2 loss at Feyenoord while United thumped Sabah FC 4-0 in their opener before wasting several good chances in a 2-0 loss at Atlético de Madrid.
Neither side is flying. Como are on a run of one win in four, United none in six, and chances seem to be piling up in their games, both domestically and in Europe.
Como average a division-high 21.7 shots per game in Serie A this term while United top the Premier League with 19.7 shots per game.
This match promises goals at both ends, and the odds reflect that. Take the attractive 13/8 that both sides score in the 2nd Half as the game opens up.
Alternative Bet: Lucas Da Cunha 1+ shots on target @ 11/10
Como skipper Lucas Da Cunha was reportedly a Manchester United transfer target this summer, and now he has the chance to show Michael Carrick what he missed out on.
Da Cunha, now a France International, has come to life at Como, especially last season, when he scored five goals from midfield from March.
He has pinged off three shots on target in the tournament so far - two in 65 minutes in the 4-1 win over Leipzig and one in 30 minutes off the bench in the 3-2 defeat at Feyenoord.
Take Da Cunha to have at least one shot on target against a makeshift United back line.
Como v Manchester United Bet Builder Tip
Bruno Fernandes 1+ shots on target
Senne Lammens 3+ saves
Over 3 goals
Under 4 cards
Pays 29/4
Calls to axe Bruno Fernandes after some middling displays are set to go unheeded, if reports from Old Trafford are correct.
Carrick is a huge Fernandes fan and set to show faith in his Portugal star, who in turn can play a central role at Como.
Fernandes is averaging 3.3 shots per game in the Premier League and 3.0 in the UEFA Champions League (1.5 on target) and can get at least one on target on Wednesday.
United keeper Senne Lammens can expect to be busy against this adventurous, free-flowing Como side.
Defensive injuries could leave Lammens exposed, and he looks likely to make at least three saves.
Those same defensive headaches suggest this game will produce goals, perhaps over three, as in both Como's European tussles to date.
Como have shown five cards in their two games so far, United just three.
Referee Sven Jablonski has not shown more than three cards in any of the six big matches he has refereed in Germany and Europe this term, so there is no reason to anticipate a bloodbath.
