DLWLLL 📉

Since suffering a loss in their previous game against Juventus in Serie A action, Como and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.

In that match, Como had 52% possession and 16 attempts on goal with 6 of them on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Como was Assane Diao (45'). On the other side, Juventus got 8 shots at goal with 3 on target. Randal Kolo Muani (34', 89') was the scorer for Juventus.

Looking at their form, and Como have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 games, letting opponents get 10 goals in total. At the back, Como seem to have a bit of a soft underbelly. In any event, it remains to be seen if the trend might be maintained here in this game or not.

Heading into this contest, Como are without a win away from home in their last 8 matches in the league. Who knows how long it might last, too.

ℹ️ Team News: Fiorentina

Yacine Adli (Ankle problems) and Edoardo Bove (heart problems) are unavailable for Fiorentina manager Raffaelle Palladino.

We are thinking that La Viola will possibly use a 3-5-2 system for the game and select David De Gea, Pietro Comuzzo, Marin Pongracic, Luca Ranieri, Dodo, Nicolo Fagioli, Rolando Mandragora, Andrea Colpani, Robin Gosens, Nicolo Zaniolo and Lucas Beltran.

📰 Team News: Como

Como boss Cesc Fábregas has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Dele Alli (Fitness), Ignace Van der Brempt (muscular problems), Mërgim Vojvoda (Calf muscle tear), Sergi Roberto (Calf problems), Alberto Moreno (Muscle fatigue), Alessandro Gabrielloni (Calf problems) and Iván Azón (Calf muscle tear) are not ready for selection.

We are inclined to think that I Lariani seem likely to make use of a 4-2-3-1 lineup, settling for Jean Butez, Ivan Smolcic, Alberto Dossena, Marc-Oliver Kempf, Alex Valle, Lucas Da Cunha, Maximo Perrone, Assane Diao, Nico Paz, Gabriel Strefezza and Patrick Cutrone.

🔮 Prediction

We’re inclined to think that Como should have enough to break down this Fiorentina lineup, although it probably won’t quite be enough to avoid defeat.

We’re expecting a close game with a 2-1 victory for Fiorentina at the end of this one. Looking forward to this.
