Fiorentina, who are gradually getting back to their feet, will host Como in the Coppa Italia Round of 16 at the Stadio Artemio Franchi on Tuesday, with the home side looking to win a trophy to salvage their disappointing season.
The Viola enter this cup tie with a disappointing 2-1 loss against Cagliari last Saturday, a result that ended their four-game unbeaten run in all competitions.
Since the turn of the year, they have seen improvements in their performance, going on a four-game unbeaten streak with two wins and two draws, but their recent loss ended the streak.
Meanwhile, Como, managed by Cesc Fabregas, has had an inconsistent form in the league. However, they returned to winning ways in tremendous fashion, claiming back-to-back victories.
They got back to winning ways with a 3-1 away win against Lazio and backed it up with a 6-0 home thrashing of Torino last weekend. They take this form into the cup game, making them a dangerous opponent for the Fiorentina side.

Correct score prediction: Fiorentina 0-1 Como
We expect this cup encounter to be a closely fought battle, as both teams view the Coppa Italia as a genuine opportunity for silverware. We predict a 1-0 victory for Como based on their performance this season.
The Gigliati have shown glimpses of quality recently, particularly in their high-scoring draws against Lazio and AC Milan. However, the away team will do enough to edge out this encounter in what should be an entertaining match for the neutrals.
Pre-match odds and win probability: Como narrow favourites
- Home: 17/10 (2.70) – 37.0%
- Draw: 21/10 (3.10) – 32.3%
- Away: 13/10 (2.30) – 43.5%

The bookmakers price this as a tight contest, with Como 1907 installed as slight favourites at 2.30, implying a 43.5% chance of an away win. Fiorentina follow closely at 2.70 (37.0%), while the draw is valued at 3.10 (32.3%). Overall, the odds point towards a highly competitive encounter where a narrow margin could decide the outcome.
Most recent head-to-head: La Viola edge previous meetings
The recent competitive history between these two clubs shows that Como secured a 2-1 away victory in September 2025 and a 2-0 home win in February 2025, although Fiorentina previously managed a 2-0 away win in 2024.
Looking at the most recent head-to-head records between these two clubs, the results show that Como has held the upper hand in their most recent top-flight meetings.
While Fiorentina dominated the historical meetings in the lower divisions, the 2025 encounters suggest that the current Como squad has the blueprint to frustrate the Viola.

Player to watch: Nico Paz
Nico Paz has been one of Como’s most influential players this season. The young attacker has played a big role in the team's performance as they push to qualify for next season’s European competition.
His impact has been consistent, with his creativity and direct running adding real bite to Como’s attack. With eight goals and six assists to his name this season, Paz could be a major factor and could prove decisive in helping his team move to the next stage of the Coppa Italia.
