Como invite third-placed Fiorentina to the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia in Serie A on Sunday. The hosts have endured a poor run in their return to the top flight, with two wins in 12 games. They have 10 points, one more than Lecce in the relegation zone.
Como are winless in six league outings, losing four. They arrested their three-game losing streak before the international break with a 1-1 draw with Genoa. Lucas Da Cunha gave them the lead in the 17th minute, and they had a goal ruled out in the second half by VAR. Defender Alessandro Vogliacco equalised for Gerona in the second minute of stoppage time.
Fiorentina, meanwhile, are unbeaten in eight league games, winning seven . After a 2-1 loss to APEOL in the UEFA Conference League earlier this month, they bounced back with a 3-1 home win over Verona. Moise Kean was the hero with a hat-trick, while goalkeeper David de Gea picked up an assist.
