After success in the opening round, Como has not won again. Last Monday, the players under Cesc Fabregas came close to doing so. At the 'Giuseppe Sinigaglia' stadium, the 'bianconeri' hosted Genoa. Thanks to Nico Pass, the hosts took the lead as early as the 13th minute. Como continued to press and could easily have doubled their advantage. A solo run by Kuna and a follow-up by Morata in an empty net, however, did not result in a goal. The 'bianconeri' calmed the game down and controlled the flow of the match. They maintained this control until Ramon was shown a straight red card. Genoa threw all their efforts into equalising and, thanks to a goal from Ekuban, salvaged a draw. Moreover, the 'Griffins' could have even snatched a heroic win, but a dangerous header was right into the hands of Bute. In the previous round, Como narrowly lost to Bologna. The 'rossoblu' earned three points thanks to a goal from Orsolini in the 59th minute.

Fiorentina has yet to win, but they have only lost once. On Saturday, the 'Lilies' hosted Napoli at the 'Artemio Franchi'. The prospects of the match for Stefano Pioli's side were outlined by the 14th minute. A quick penalty goal was scored by De Bruyne, and by the time frame mentioned earlier, Hojlund doubled the 'Azzurri's' advantage. Overall, the Neapolitans determined the outcome of the match rather quickly. However, this didn't stop Antonio Conte's team from scoring a third goal at the start of the second half. The Florentines managed to score in the 79th minute and even had a chance to net a second goal but the score remained 1:3.

Interestingly, in the previous season, the rivals exchanged away victories twice. At 'Giuseppe Sinigaglia', the 'Lilies' managed to secure a win with a score of 0:2. The second round match took place in a similar, even manner but also ended in a victory for the guests with a score of 0:2. It's clear that Como from the first round and the second is a team of absolutely different playing levels. The players under Cesc Fabregas have gained experience and become a formidable force. After the draw with the 'Griffins', the Spanish coach stated that his team is better than last year and continues to grow and improve. Como heads to Florence not only for points but also for a victory. Betting on the 'bianconeri' not losing is a very reliable decision.
