Playing catch-up in the race for a top-four finish, AC Milan will seek their first Serie A win of the year when they make the short trip to Como on Tuesday.
The Rossoneri recently claimed silverware in Sergio Conceicao's second game as head coach, before recording a disappointing home draw; Como's revival continued with a spirited showing in Rome last time out.
We say: Como 1-1 AC Milan
Milan are still finding their feet under new management - having relied more on spirit and fortune than structure to win the Supercoppa Italiana - so they may fail to beat their regional rivals.
If Como can produce their best level, they should have the guile to score at least once and claim a precious point.

Atalanta vs. Juventus (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

Aiming to stay within close range of the Serie A summit, Atalanta BC will host a misfiring Juventus side on Tuesday evening.
Both beaten in the Supercoppa Italiana semi-finals before resuming league duty with a disappointing draw, the clubs convene for a midweek clash in Bergamo.
We say: Atalanta BC 0-0 Juventus
Although both sides boast plenty of attacking talent, it could be an intense tactical battle between Thiago Motta and Gian Piero Gasperini, who are well acquainted from their Genoa days.
Master meets apprentice in Bergamo, and Gasp's men should add to Motta's frustration by playing out a close-fought draw.
