Serie A 2024-2025: Fiorentina-Como, the likely lineups

Fiorentina-Como, probable formations

After last Monday’s defeat at San Siro against Inter Milan, Fiorentina wants to resume the race toward Champions League qualification. Before the knockout against the Nerazzurri, the Viola had racked up three consecutive victories and now aim to restart in front of their own public.

At the Stadio Franchi comes a wounded Como side determined to redeem itself after the recent home stop against Juventus, which led to three straight defeats. Fabregas’ team needs to break the losing streak to avoid finding itself in a dangerous standings position.

Coach Palladino has to cope with the absence of Kean, who is disqualified: the coach could adapt one of Zaniolo and Beltran in the role of first forward, while Gudmundsson and Folorunsho should return as starters. In midfield, Fagioli is likely to make his first-minute debut, while in defense Comuzzo è favored over Pongracic to flank Ranieri. On the flanks will act Dodò and Gosens.

Doubt between the posts for Fabregas: despite the uncertainties against Juventus, Butez remains favored over Reina. Still unavailable Sergi Roberto and Van der Brempt, while è the recovery of Alberto Moreno and Kempf is difficult. In attack, room for Cutrone with Diao, Nico Paz and Strefezza in the three-quarter, also by virtue of Fadera’s disqualification.

Probable lineups:

Fiorentina (4-2-3-1): De Gea; Dodò, Comuzzo, Ranieri, Gosens; Fagioli, Mandragora; Folorunsho, Gudmundsson, Beltran; Zaniolo. Coach: Palladino.

Como (4-2-3-1): Butez; Smolcic, Dossena, Goldaniga, Valle; Perrone, Da Cunha; Diao, Nico Paz, Strefezza; Cutrone. Coach: Fabregas.
