Fiorentina x Como Odds

Odds are subject to change.

Fiorentina vs. Como - Head-to-head record

The competitive history between these two sides features 39 meetings across all competitions, with Fiorentina claiming 17 victories, eight draws, and 14 defeats against Como.

In Serie A, the historical record is dead level with 11 wins apiece and six draws. However, recent fixtures have shown a remarkable away bias: the visiting team has won all of the last five competitive meetings between the clubs.

Como have enjoyed visiting Florence in recent seasons, winning their last three matches at the Stadio Artemio Franchi—twice in the league and once in the Coppa Italia in January 2026.

Fiorentina got their revenge in the most recent league meeting with a 2-1 victory at Stadio Sinigaglia in February 2026.

With neither manager known for conservative tactics, this fixture regularly produces goals and decisive results.

Head-to-head

Fiorentina - Seeking a much-needed victory

Paolo Vanoli’s men return home looking to tighten up at the back after falling two goals behind inside 15 minutes in their 2-1 away defeat to Genoa. Below is an overview of the hosts’ current form, team news, and projected starting XI:

Recent form

The Viola sit 19th in the Serie A standings with just four points from six matches (one win, one draw, and four defeats).

While Vanoli’s return brought early encouragement with four goals at Venezia and a gritty 1-1 draw against Napoli, defensive fragility has held them back. Fiorentina have conceded 14 league goals this term—an average of 2.33 per game—and are yet to win in front of their own supporters.

Sunday’s clash also features one of the most exciting young duels in European football: 19-year-old Fiorentina sensation Franco Mastantuono takes on Como’s 22-year-old playmaker Nico Paz.

Both left-footed Argentine playmakers represent the vanguard of their country’s post-Messi generation, each capable of unlocking defenses with sublime individual skill.

Vanoli must deal with a few key absences. Midfielder Arthur Atta is ruled out with a stomach illness, while Fabiano Parisi remains out with a long-term knee injury.

Mastantuono is expected to start with hand protection following minor surgery this week. David de Gea captains the side in goal behind central pairing Radu Drăgușin and Luca Ranieri, with Álex Jiménez—who registered two assists and one goal in his last four matches—and Victor Valdepeñas at full-back.

Cher Ndour and Christ Inao Oulaï will add physical presence alongside deep-lying playmaker Nicolò Fagioli, supporting Mastantuono and Wilfried Gnonto behind target man Beto (or Mateo Pellegrino).

Como - looking to bounce back

Cesc Fàbregas brings his Como squad to Florence looking to convert their eye-catching possession play into a fourth away win of the campaign. Here is an examination of the visitors’ form, squad updates, and expected starting lineup ahead of kickoff:

Recent form

The Lariani sit seventh in the table with 11 points from six games (three wins, two draws, and one loss).

While Fàbregas’ side have gone three games without a win across all competitions, their underlying numbers remain impressive: Como rank second in Serie A for average possession and have conceded only six league goals all season.

A hectic schedule has tested their legs, however, having played with 10 men in a 0-0 draw against Roma before a physically demanding 3-2 defeat in Rotterdam against Feyenoord on Wednesday night.

Fàbregas has to cope with significant attacking absences. Former Fiorentina striker Moise Kean misses the return to his old ground with a muscle problem, while Spanish winger Assane Diao picked up a thigh injury in midweek.

Jean Butez is set to take over in goal behind Trevoh Chalobah and Jacobo Ramón, with brazilians Yan Couto and Kaiki Bruno providing speed down the flanks.

Máximo Perrone and Lucas Da Cunha will anchor the midfield, giving Nico Paz—who has taken the most shots in Serie A this season—the platform to create for Jesús Rodríguez and away-day specialist Tasos Douvikas.

Predictions for Fiorentina vs. como - An open game with goals

Both sides favor expansive, high-tempo football, with Como dominating possession and Fiorentina conceding an average of over two goals per game. With neither team managing to keep things tight at the back recently, backing Over 0.5 goals in the first half looks like a dependable selection.

Como have won on their last three visits to Florence and look much sharper in transition through Nico Paz and Douvikas. Facing a Fiorentina backline that has conceded 14 league goals, backing Como to win with a -0.25 Asian Handicap offers good value.
