Fiorentina vs Como prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-09-20 16:00.
[p]After a slow start to the Serie A campaign, Fiorentina are looking to inject some impetus into their season when they host Como on Sunday afternoon.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Stefano Pioli’s second stint in charge of Fiorentina has got off to an inauspicious start, with La Viola failing to win any of their first three Serie A games (D2, L1). Only once since 2010/11 have they had fewer points at this stage of a campaign, but the hosts should be confident of getting their first win of the Serie A season here having avoided defeat in each of their six home league games prior to defeat against Napoli last time out (W5, D1). With Pioli having also lost his final home game in charge during his last stint, Fiorentina could now lose three successive Serie A home matches under his stewardship for the first time ever. [/p]
[p]Como have failed to build on their eye-catching 2-0 win over Lazio on matchday one, losing to Bologna (1-0) and conceding in stoppage time to drop two points against Genoa (1-1) since. The tight nature of those two results suggests that Cesc Fà bregas’ men are competing well, and they can at least point to already being three points better off than at the same stage of last season, but greater consistency will be needed if they’re to realise dreams of European qualification sparked by their power in the transfer market this summer. [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]There’s nothing to separate these sides across their 26 previous Serie A meetings, with the pair boasting ten wins apiece (D6). The away side on the day won both H2Hs last season by a 2-0 scoreline.[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Fiorentina have failed to score before the hour mark in their last four matches across all competitions.[/p]
[p]Only two sides faced more shots on target across their first three Serie A games than Fiorentina (16).[/p]
[p]Only one of Como’s last eight league matches produced over 2.5 goals.[/p]
[p]Como have won just one of their five Sunday-held Serie A away games since promotion (D2, L2).[/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Fiorentina goalkeeper David de Gea has made at least three saves in all of his five competitive appearances this term, and made four in a 2-0 H2H victory back in November. Nico Paz is likely to pose his biggest threat having scored in last season’s corresponding fixture, though that was the only one of his eight Como goals to come on the road.[/p]
[p]Fiorentina continue to be without Albert Guðmundsson, while Como lost Jacobo Ramón to a red card against Genoa, so he’ll serve a suspension here.[/p]

[p]Betting Analysis[/p]
