Fiorentina are set to face Como with a relatively healthy squad, though not without some notable concerns. La Viola have managed to stretch their winning run in Serie A to 6 matches, putting themselves in 4th position, just 3 points behind joint leaders Atalanta and Inter.
For the visirots, Amir Richardson remains the only confirmed absence, leaving the team in a strong position for their fixture. Moise Kean continues to be a standout performer, having scored in each of his last three league matches. The forward has impressively netted 11 goals in just 14 games since his move to Florence, demonstrating remarkable consistency and impact for the team.
The match presents an intriguing tactical puzzle, particularly in midfield and goalkeeper positions. Lucas Da Cunha, who recently scored in a draw with Genoa, may continue his midfield role, while the goalkeeper situation remains fluid. The potential selection between Emil Audero and veteran Pepe Reina adds an extra layer of intrigue, with the latter facing the possibility of starting opposite his Spanish compatriot David de Gea.
Patrick Cutrone, capped once by the national team and Como’s top scorer, brings additional narrative to the match. Having previously scored four times in 30 Serie A appearances, his return to a familiar stage promises an interesting subplot.
With Albert Gudmundsson still battling a thigh problem and potentially unavailable, Fiorentina will need to rely on their depth and Kean’s current rich vein of form to maintain their competitive edge.
Como (4-2-3-1): Audero; Goldaniga, Dossena, Kempf, Moreno; Engelhardt, Da Cunha; Verdi, Paz, Fadera; Cutrone
Fiorentina (4-3-2-1): De Gea; Dodo, Comuzzo, Ranieri, Gosens; Adli, Cataldi, Bove; Colpani, Beltran; Kean
