Como advanced to the Italian Cup semifinal on Tuesday. The Biancoblù faced Napoli away, and at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium a not-so-bad lineup took the field. Cesc Fabregas's side scored first, but the Neapolitans equalized, and the matter went to a penalty shootout. Eight kicks from each side were required to determine the winner. In the previous round of the league, Como earned a point against Atalanta in a goalless match. A tough schedule for Fabregas. Fiorentina earned a draw with Torino in the last round. The Turin side went ahead thanks to Kazadei's goal in the 26th minute. Although by the tenth minute the sides could have traded goals. The Lilies began to rally, but they did so after the break. Solomon's goal in the 51st minute leveled the score, and six minutes later Kin put the Florentines in front. Fabregas's players, however, could not hold onto the lead. In stoppage time the Bulls managed to grab a draw. In the previous round Fiorentina lost 2-1 away to Napoli. The two teams have met twice this season. In the first round Como beat the Lilies away. Mandragora's quick goal put the hosts ahead, but Fabregas's side managed not only to come back but also to snatch three points at 90+4. The last meeting occurred quite recently, at the end of last month. In the cup match everything went to the familiar script: an early Fiorentina goal and Como's eventual victory. However, it would hardly be expected that Paolo Vanoli would go all in on Coppa Italia. Fiorentina have the biggest deficit by the xPTS metric in the league. Thus, according to this metric, the Lilies should have about 13.56 points more than they currently have. The underperformance in xG is also noticeable. Statistically, Fiorentina should have scored 11.14 more goals. Como also shows clear deviations. Thus Biancoblù, according to xGA, should have conceded another 10.71 goals. Fiorentina is in decent form and has clearly emerged from the crisis. Como spent energy on the cup match and may also underestimate the opponent. This season Fabregas's charges have dropped points against Genoa, Cremonese, Parma and Cagliari. It is unlikely that the Florentines will be an easy opponent for the Biancoblù. The Lilies will fight for points.
