Fiorentina vs. Como: Match Prediction
The home crowd often helps Fiorentina achieve maximum results. At home, Fiorentina has suffered only two defeats in their last 16 league matches, winning 7 of their last 10 Serie A encounters. During this stretch, they have beaten strong opponents like Milan, Lazio, and Roma, and in their last home league match, Raffaele Palladino's side thrashed Inter 3-0.
Como performs much better at home than away. This Serie A season, Cesc Fabregas's side has managed only one away victory, with seven defeats in the other 11 matches. Additionally, in the first round of the current league season, Como lost to Fiorentina at home (0-2).
I believe the hosts will overcome their opponents and achieve the maximum result. My prediction: Fiorentina to win
