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