Fiorentina vs Como Prediction, H2H Stats & Statistical Bets 18 October 2026
📢 An intriguing match in the 7th round of Serie A takes place at the Stadio Artemio Franchi, where Fiorentina host Como. Following changes in the coaching staff, the Viola have improved noticeably in terms of their play, though they have not yet managed to shake off their inconsistency entirely. Como, meanwhile, are struggling to perform on two fronts at once: Cesc Fàbregas's young side have so far found it difficult to manage their efforts effectively between the league and the Champions League. Both teams will therefore be looking to take all three points and improve their position while restoring some confidence.
Last season, the hosts failed to win any of their head-to-head clashes
📊 The head-to-head record between Fiorentina and Como has been perfectly balanced in recent years. The two sides have met six times, each winning three. Last season they faced each other three times, and on each occasion the away side won. In Serie A, the clubs split the home-and-away fixtures with identical 2-1 scorelines, with neither team managing to win on their own ground. Fiorentina and Como also met in the Round of 16 of the Coppa Italia, where Cesc Fàbregas's side came out on top, winning 3-1 to knock the Viola out of the competition.
Head-to-head statistics Fiorentina - Como
Fiorentina have slipped back again after a brief resurgence
Fiorentina have been a shadow of their former selves for the past season and a half. Not long ago they were considered a solid side capable of competing for European places, yet last season they found themselves unexpectedly dragged into a relegation battle. The new campaign was supposed to offer a fresh start, but little has changed: after six rounds the Viola have collected just four points and sit second from bottom in the table.
Before the international break, though, there were reasons for cautious optimism among supporters. Following changes to the coaching staff, Fiorentina began to improve gradually and showed more purposeful football. It felt as though the team had finally found the right direction and were ready to pull themselves out of their prolonged slump. The three-week break, however, appears to have done them no favours. Last weekend they travelled to Genoa, a side going through difficulties of their own, yet Fiorentina failed to take advantage and lost 1-2, allowing the hosts to end their winless run. The visitors had more of the ball and tried to control the match, but were unable to turn that into anything meaningful. Their play in the final third was particularly disappointing.

Como create chances, but they give up too many opportunities at the back
Como, who surprised Italian football with some bright and impressive performances last season, are also failing to live up to expectations so far. Cesc Fàbregas's side have dropped off noticeably and after six rounds sit seventh in the Serie A table with 11 points. They go into this match on a run of three games without a win across all competitions, which is clearly below the club's ambitions.
Last weekend Como missed a good opportunity to pick up points. They hosted Roma and spent almost the entire second half with a numerical advantage. It seemed the hosts had every chance to make the most of their opponents' red card and take a much-needed win. However, they were unable to break down the Roma defence and had to settle for a goalless draw.
Their midweek outing in the Champions League was even more painful. Como travelled to Feyenoord and suffered a frustrating 2-3 defeat. In terms of football quality the Italian club were by no means inferior to their opponents, and the match itself was fairly even. But Como's defensive work left a lot to be desired. On top of their own errors, the team were also plainly unlucky: in several moments the ball somehow ended up in Como's net after a series of deflections.

Latest news
Fiorentina

Como 1907
❌ Como have one confirmed absentee. Moise Kean remains sidelined with a muscle injury, while Assane Diao is doubtful due to a thigh injury.
⚽️ Goals Prediction
This match is unlikely to be a high-scoring affair. In 12 of Fiorentina's last 13 home matches across all competitions, no more than three goals were scored. A similar pattern holds for Como on the road: in 14 of their previous 16 away Serie A matches, the same threshold was not exceeded. Given the inconsistent form of both sides, we are expecting a moderate scoreline. Our bet is Total Goals - Under 3.5 at odds of 1.51*.
🚩 Corners Prediction
Fiorentina are not a team that generates many corners. In 9 of their last 10 matches, they earned no more than four. This tendency is particularly pronounced against Como specifically: in five consecutive head-to-head meetings, the Florentines have also stayed under that threshold. Given the hosts' difficulties in building attacks, we expect the run to continue. Our bet is Fiorentina Team Total Corners - Under 4.5 at odds of 1.51*.
🟨 Yellow Cards Prediction
Fiorentina matches rarely turn into a battle of fouls: referees have shown more than four yellow cards in just 1 of the team's last 12 games. Como also tend to keep the ball and are not prone to rough play, so there should be little reason for a high number of bookings here either. We are backing Total Yellow Cards - Under 4.5 at odds of 1.42*.
*Odds are indicative and may vary across different bookmakers.
⭐ Editor's Prediction
The bookmakers make Como favourites for this match, and it is hard to disagree. The visitors have a stronger squad and considerably greater ambitions, while Fiorentina continue to struggle through a prolonged slump and sit second from bottom in Serie A. Fabregas's side will also be keen to avoid going a fourth consecutive match without a win, so they should be pushing forward from the first minute. Our main bet is Como to win - Draw No Bet. Predicted score: 1-2.
