Fiorentina vs. Como: Match Prediction
Despite a less than stellar start to the current season, I believe Fiorentina can show improvement in this match. Especially since they have often achieved positive results at home: in their last seven home Serie A matches, the Florentines have lost only once, securing five wins. Notably, among the victories in this period were successes against Juventus and Atalanta, who finished in the top four last season.
Como started the current Serie A season with an away win over Lazio, but their form has since declined, with a loss to Bologna and a draw with Genoa. Cesc Fabregas's side consistently faces challenges away from home: in their last 16 away league matches, the club has managed only four wins, losing half of those games. I don't think the visitors will take all three points, so my prediction: Fiorentina with a handicap (0)
* The starting lineup for each team is based on their last match in this tournament.
