- Como have won 3, drawn 1 and lost 1 of their last 5 matches in all competitions, while Fiorentina have won 2, drawn 1 and lost 2 during that period.
- Como have taken 7 goals in 4 away games in Serie A 2026/2027 and have an overall 2-1-1 away record in the competition.
- Fiorentina are winless in 3 home games in Serie A 2026/2027 (D1, L2) and have averaged 0.67 goals scored per game and 2.00 goals conceded per game at their Artemio Franchi home.
Tempo tussle should be won by in-form visitors
Two teams with contrasting styles and very different Serie A 2026/2027 records so far face off at the Artemio Franchi when AC Fiorentina take on Calcio Como on Sunday. I Lariani currently sit 6th in the table with 11 points from 6 games while La Viola are 18th with four points, so the visitors definitely come into this match with the better momentum.
The difference in approaches is clear to see from the statistics for Cesc Fàbregas' 4-2-3-1 and Paolo Vanoli's fluid 3-at-the-back shape, which has been tailored for positional overloads and vertical bursts since the 7th September 2026.
Fàbregas' side set up to build up controlled possession, stretch teams wide and make rapid counter attacks, while Vanoli's system is designed to rotate players and overload the centre of the pitch. The midfield will be where this battle for tempo is won and lost, but as the visitors have been in better form and are in a better position in the league, the momentum seems to be with Como.
Como are worth a punt in the match result market
Como have won 3, drawn 1 and lost 1 of their last 5 and have the feel of a well-drilled side that can dig in and hit teams on the counter. They are in stronger nick than Fiorentina, whose last 5 sequence has included a 3-0 Coppa Italia win over Pisa, a 1-1 Serie A draw with Napoli and a 2-1 away defeat to Genoa, which suggests a team with a way to go yet in terms of consistency.
La Viola's Mateo Pellegrino has chipped in with 3 of his team's 9 goals in the last 5 games, but his ability to bring the front line alive with his movement could be a big factor in this match. Franco Mastantuono is the Serie A 2026/2027 leading marksman with 3 goals in 5 matches, so looks like La Viola's most likely source of joy.
Anastasios Douvikas leads the way for Como with 2 in 5, but they have more creative juice between the lines with Assane Diao notching 3 goals in Como's last 5 and Nico Paz providing 3 assists. The draw with Roma was 0-0, but I Lariani's previous games, a 2-1 win at home to Parma and 2-0 defeat away to Frosinone, were open contests.
Go for goals when Serie A newcomers meet
Both teams to score - Yes at 11/20 and Over 2.5 goals at 13/20 are both attractive bets here, because of the superior goalscoring form of I Lariani. The odds are slightly on Como's side with the away side at 53/50, La Viola at 23/10 and the draw at 51/20, which means the market is leaning towards the away team as most likely result.
There is a reason for that as the last head-to-head in Serie A 2025/2026 saw Fiorentina win 2-1 on the road, but the overall record is even at 1-1 over the past 2 meetings. Vanoli's side are winless in 3 against Como at their home ground, so we will not take La Viola to have the better of it even if they are the bigger club and have a bigger budget.
