Fiorentina vs. Como: both sides need a win

Fiorentina aim to climb the table, while Como do not want to lose sight of the leading pack

There is no room for error when Fiorentina host Como at the Franchi. The home side are coming off a defeat to Genoa that sent them back below the safety line and will be looking for a win to improve their lowly position. Fàbregas’s men also need all three points after taking only one from their last two matches against Frosinone and Roma.
