Fiorentina
Fiorentina have not yet played in the current Coppa Italia campaign, while last season the club was eliminated at the Round of 16, losing to Empoli (2:2, on penalties 3:4). Overall, recent Fiorentina performances in this competition have been successful: prior to that the club reached at least the semi-finals in three consecutive editions. In the 2022/23 season Fiorentina reached the final and lost the trophy to Inter (1:2). Note that the club failed to win in regular time in 6 of its last 7 Coppa Italia matches (4 draws, 2 defeats).
- The home team remained unbeaten after 90 minutes in 7 of their last 8 Coppa Italia home matches (3 wins, 4 draws).
- The hosts scored in regular time in 6 of their last 8 home matches in this competition.
- Fiorentina kept a clean sheet in the second half in 6 of their last 8 home Coppa Italia matches.
Potential Fiorentina Lineup (4-3-3)*
Fiorentina: David de Gea – Robin Gosens, Pietro Comuzzo, Marin Pongracic, Dodo – Rolando Mandragora, Nicolo Fagioli, Sere Ndour – Fabiano Parisi, Roberto Piccoli, Albert Gudmundsson.
Defender Tariq Lamptey will miss the match due to injury. The participation of forward Moise Kean is also in doubt because of an injury.
Como
Como, with Cesc Fàbregas as coach, started the current Coppa Italia campaign from the Round of 32 and successively beat Südtirol (3:1) and Sassuolo (3:0). As a result, Como reached the Round of 16 for the first time in 24 years, having not gone beyond this stage since 1986. Last season the visitors were eliminated in their first match, losing to Sampdoria (1:1, on penalties 3:4). Note that in 7 of their last 8 Coppa Italia matches Como failed to keep a clean sheet in regular time.
- The club failed to win after 90 minutes in 7 of its last 9 Coppa Italia matches (2 draws, 5 defeats).
- The team failed to score more than once in regular time in 7 of their last 9 matches in this competition.
- Como conceded at most one goal over 90 minutes in 5 of their last 7 Coppa Italia matches.
Potential Como Lineup (4-5-1)*

Fiorentina vs Como: Match Prediction
In recent years Fiorentina have been sufficiently successful in the Coppa Italia, with the main achievements coming in home matches. In particular, the home team has distinguished itself with strong defensive performances. Over their last 16 home matches in this competition Fiorentina have only allowed opponents to score more than once in regular time on three occasions. In six of those fixtures the club kept a clean sheet after 90 minutes.
Como have not advanced this far in the national cup for a long time and have often been eliminated at an early stage in this competition. In the current edition the visitors have already scored six goals, but prior to this run the team had struggled to create chances: in the seven matches before these fixtures the club failed to score more than one goal on any occasion.
We believe that an in-form Fiorentina are capable of defending well at home and preventing the visiting team from scoring more than once.
Prediction: Como Under 1.5 goals
