Fiorentina is preparing for a new match with Como, with the aim of breaking a six-month fast without a home win in Serie A. The last success at home dates back to 13 April, when the team led by Paolo Vanoli beat Lazio 1-0 thanks to a goal from Gosens. Since then, in the following six championships in front of their fans, Viola have obtained only four points, distributed across four draws and two defeats.
The problem is not just that of a single season. If we analyze the last two editions of Serie A, Fiorentina have recorded only four home wins, ten draws and eight defeats. In 2026, the two home wins, against Cremonese and Pisa, came by very narrow margins, both 1‑0, and the two opposing teams were relegated. These data highlight an internal vulnerability of the Viola club, rare in its history.
The match against Como therefore represents a double challenge: breaking the Franchi taboo and regaining the ability to beat high-level teams at home. The last prestigious home victory dates back to 30 March 2025, when Fiorentina, then coached by Palladino, defeated Atalanta 1-0. Now coach Vanoli will have to face the pressure of reversing this trend, which has become one of the team's main problems.
With the match scheduled, the fans are hoping for a performance that can bring the Viola back to their traditional strength at home, while the management and coach focus on a strategy that can break the long period of uncertainty. The result of this match will be decisive for the club's morale and its position in the league table, especially considering the difficulty of obtaining points on the pitch. Next week, therefore, Fiorentina will have to demonstrate that they are ready to transform the Franchi into a simple obstacle to overcome.
