Team Form and Analysis:
Fiorentina has had a difficult start to their Serie A campaign, currently sitting in the bottom half of the table with just two points from their first three league matches. The hosts are coming off a 3-1 home defeat to league leaders Napoli. Under returning manager Stefano Pioli, Fiorentina has yet to secure a league victory. Despite reaching the Conference League final last season, they have struggled to find their rhythm in the league. They will be looking to their home advantage to secure a much-needed victory, but they are dealing with a number of key injuries, with Christian Kouamé and Albert Gudmundsson ruled out.
Como, meanwhile, has had a very positive start to their season, currently sitting in the top half of the table with four points from their first three league matches. The visitors are coming off a hard-fought 1-1 home draw against Genoa, a result that followed a narrow 1-0 defeat to Bologna. Under manager Cesc Fàbregas, Como has shown a good balance of attacking threat and defensive solidity. They will be looking to their superior form to secure a positive result on the road. They are dealing with a number of key injuries to players like Assane Diao and Ignace Van Der Brempt, while Jacobo Ramón is suspended.
Head-to-Head:
The historical head-to-head record between these two clubs is closely contested. The two sides have met 36 times across Serie A, Serie B, and the Coppa Italia. Fiorentina has a slight edge with 17 wins, compared to 12 for Como. However, Como won the last league meeting between the two sides at the Stadio Artemio Franchi with a score of 2-1.
Player to Watch:
- Fiorentina: All eyes will be on their new signing Moise Kean and their attacking midfielder Rolando Mandragora. Kean has scored two goals this season and will be a key threat, while Mandragora has been excellent in the midfield and will be looked upon to create chances.
- Como: The focus for Como will be on their key attacking player Nico Paz, who has been in sensational form, playing a part in five goals across his last six Serie A matches. The visitors will also be looking to the attacking flair of their new signing Álvaro Morata to provide a much-needed attacking spark.
Prediction:
Given both teams’ recent form and their contrasting styles, this match promises to be a tight and cagey affair. While Fiorentina has the home advantage and a superior historical record, Como’s excellent recent form and their impressive defensive discipline suggest that this will be a tough contest. A low-scoring draw or a narrow away victory for Como seems like a very plausible outcome.
