Venue (City, Stadium) | Florence, Artemio Franchi |
Sunday's Fiorentina vs Como fixture pits a side looking nervously over their shoulder against visitors sitting comfortably in the top half of the Serie A table.
Fiorentina sit 18th in the table. A defeat to a previously winless Genoa side last weekend took the shine off Paolo Vanoli's second spell in charge.
Cesc Fàbregas's Como sit eighth, though a Champions League setback against Feyenoord in midweek means they arrive in Florence with tired legs and a depleted forward line.
History leans towards the visitors too. Como have won their last three away matches against Fiorentina in all competitions, and the Fiorentina vs Como betting odds make them clear favourites.
Fiorentina vs Como Form
Fiorentina's form makes grim reading. They have dropped points in two of their last three home fixtures, and they have conceded at least two goals in five of their last six Serie A games. Franco Mastantuono is the bright spark on the right, always looking to shoot, but finishing remains a real weakness for this side.
Como are not at their sharpest either, with a Champions League setback against Feyenoord and just one point from their last two Serie A outings. Zoom out, though, and they are undefeated in 10 of their last 11 matches in Serie A. Nico Paz is the creative heartbeat of a side that loves the ball, even with Kean sidelined.

Fiorentina

Brescianini, Fagioli and Ndour form the engine room, while Njie and Mastantuono flank Pellegrino, with Beto on the bench. Parisi and Atta are both major doubts.
Como
Fàbregas is set to go with his 4-2-3-1 once more. Butez returns in goal behind Couto, Ramón, Chalobah and Valle, who is in a selection toss-up with Kaiki. Milla and Da Cunha should form the double pivot, with Perrone in contention, while Baturina, Nico Paz and Jesús Rodríguez operate behind lone striker Douvikas. Kean and Diao are out, with Diao facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines.

Fiorentina vs Como Talking Points
The headline act is the duel between Franco Mastantuono and Nico Paz, two attackers who never stop shooting. Paz ranks among the league's top players for shots on target, while Mastantuono is Fiorentina's main outlet down the right. Como will want the ball, because possession football is their trademark, but they are vulnerable to counter-attacks, which happen to be one of Fiorentina's strengths. The other question is fatigue. Como are managing fixture congestion after their Champions League trip to Feyenoord, and with Kean and Diao out, Douvikas carries the burden up front. That is why our Fiorentina vs Como best bets back the visitors to win a game with goals at both ends, rather than a stroll.
