Fiorentina must replace F. Mastantuono after five consecutive starts as they face Como sitting 19th, level on points with the first safe place. The visitors have a similar selection problem: A. Diao, another starter in each of his side’s last five matches, is also out.
Mastantuono’s broken hand removes one regular from a Fiorentina side that has collected four points from six Serie A matches. Yet the gap to safety is measured by more than points alone: they are level with the first team outside the relegation places heading into Week 7.
The home side will also be without F. Parisi, who has a knee injury, and R. Sottil, who is sidelined by a back injury. A. Atta is questionable with an abdominal strain, while L. Ranieri is also questionable because of a leg injury.
Como travel without Diao because of a thigh injury. M. Kean is out with a leg injury, leaving the visitors with two confirmed absences.
Fiorentina have scored in each of their last five matches, a run they now take into a fixture without Mastantuono. Their results across that spell have been less consistent: two wins, one draw and two defeats, with a loss the latest result.
Como’s last five have produced the same balance of results, also ending with a defeat. Their league position is stronger, however: they sit eighth with 11 points from six matches, seven points ahead of Fiorentina.
The recent head-to-head record slightly favours Como. Across five meetings since July 2024, they have won three to Fiorentina’s two, with no draws. That history adds context, but the immediate concern for both sides is replacing players who have been regular selections over the past five games.
For Fiorentina, the next opportunity to move out of the bottom three comes at home against a side in the top half. The Week 7 fixture in the 2026/27 Serie A season kicks off on Sunday 18 October at 15:00 CEST.
