Como W vs Fiorentina W - Serie A Women

The history between Como W and Fiorentina W lends this Serie A Women fixture an extra layer of spice, and when the two walk out at the home ground on October 17, 2026, recent encounters will be on everyone's mind. It came as 10 arrests were made during the Premier League clash at Anfield, City's first game since the club was found guilty of breaking financial rules.

The standings add context to the occasion — Como W occupying 7th, Fiorentina W perched in 6th — and the gap between them shapes the narrative. The hosts have done enough without setting the world alight, LWWDL over their last five and a 50% win rate to their name. Fiorentina W have travelled reasonably well, WLWWW over their last five with a season win rate of 50%. Goals could be in short supply or plentiful — Como W average 1 per game to Fiorentina W's 1, and that gap may dictate the rhythm of the contest. That result ended the European giants' 14-game unbeaten run in the competition, as Fede Valverde, Eduardo Camavinga and Jude Bellingham were contained by an "incredible" performance from a player barely anyone outside of France had heard of.

Tactically, the contest promises a fascinating contrast. Como W will look to impose their style on home soil, while Fiorentina W are likely to have ideas of their own about how to gain the upper hand. Florian Wirtz lost possession 17 times in Liverpool's 3-0 home defeat to Manchester City, more than any other player.

Individual moments of quality could tip the balance. Both sides possess players capable of producing something out of nothing, and a single flash of brilliance may be all that separates them. Set-piece specialists and aerial threats on both sides mean dead-ball situations could carry outsized importance. The midfielder has not travelled with the squad for the game vs Atletico.

Without the market to lean on, the contest feels genuinely open — and the outcome may come down to which side handles the occasion better. The numbers tilt towards Fiorentina W, and a 1-2 away win looks the more probable outcome. The result at the home ground could resonate well beyond matchday in the Serie A Women picture. The win over Liverpool was the first time the team had stepped onto the pitch since the news of the verdict broke.
