Como are hitting some rough patches in their first taste of European nights this season after that heavy loss to Feyenoord. The Italian new boys in the Champions League are feeling the heat but coach Cesc Fabregas has been around the block long enough to steady the ship and his players still back him fully.
Team Form
Fiorentina on the other hand have no European distractions after a terrible last campaign where they fought hard to stay up. They sacked Fabio Grosso early on and new coach Paolo Vanoli has brought some life but they still sit in the drop zone with plenty of teams on the same points.
- Como lost 1-3 to Feyenoord in midweek showing defensive holes
- Fiorentina lost 1-2 to Genoa right after the international break
- Five straight away wins in the head to head history between these sides
- Como have extra rest issues after their European trip while Fiorentina had a full week to prepare
Tactical Analysis
Como will look to play on the break and use their pace up top to punish any mistakes from the Viola defence. Fiorentina need to control the middle of the park and get their attacking players involved early but the lack of European football means they might be rusty in big moments. The home side have the crowd behind them yet the trend of away victories keeps coming up in this fixture.
Both teams have shown they can be dangerous on the counter but Como look sharper in transition right now despite their midweek defeat. Expect a tight game where set pieces could decide everything.
Betting Proposal
After looking at all the angles the types point to the visitors picking up all three points on the road. Como win away with odds of 2.08
