ACF Fiorentina 1-3 Como 1907: Serie A Match Report, 18 October 2026

The visiting side has won every meeting these two have on record, and ACF Fiorentina 1-3 Como 1907 made it five from five. Three of the four goals came before the break, Como leading 2-1 at half-time, which rules out the two readings a 1-3 usually invites: this was neither settled early nor a late collapse, but an open first half that Como edged and then extended.

Fiorentina went into it eighteenth on 4 points from six games, goal difference -7: one win, 4-2 at Venezia, one draw and four defeats. The home record was the worst part of it: 0-3 to Frosinone and 1-2 to Torino, then a 1-1 with Napoli that counted as progress, and now this. Fifteenth last season on 42 points, they were not a side with much slack to give away, and six games in they had given away rather a lot of it.

Como arrived eighth on 11 points from six, goal difference +3, which understates a club that finished fourth last season on 71 points with a difference of +36. Their month had been uneven, a 4-1 win at Genoa and a 2-1 at home to Parma set against a 2-0 defeat at Frosinone and a goalless draw with Roma, but three wins and two draws from six is a functioning start, and the away form in this fixture needed no introduction.

We had no pick on this one; the gap in the site's publishing covered every round from mid-September onwards, and these pages are the record being put straight rather than a bet being settled.

Como move to 14 points from seven and a goal difference of +5, which keeps them in the upper half and roughly on the trajectory their fourth place last season would suggest. Nothing here resolves whether they can repeat 71 points — seven matches cannot — but they have now taken points in six of them, which for a club at their level is the meaningful figure.

Fiorentina stay on 4 and see their goal difference fall to -9. Seven games of thirty-eight is far too early for relegation arithmetic, and anyone writing them off in October is guessing rather than counting. What can be said is narrower and still uncomfortable. They have scored eight and conceded seventeen, their one win came away at a Venezia side still without a point at the time, and the fixtures where a mid-table club is expected to bank points have gone badly: four home games, against Frosinone, Torino, Napoli and now Como, have yielded a single point. That is the problem to fix, and it is not a problem of luck.
