Interesting action will be staged in Italy this weekend, as in-form Roma travel to Fiorentina. Both of these sides remain in the hunt for a European finish this season, and it should be a thrilling showdown in Florence with both sides chasing maximum points.
Serie A Preview
AS Roma remain on track to achieve a Champions League finish this term, and their decision to sack Jose Mourinho has been vindicated based on their recent results in the league. Daniele De Rossi has done an excellent job of getting the best out of this talented squad, and they could potentially move to within one point of the top four with a win this weekend.
Roma come into this round of matches after winning each of their last three in the competition. But, due to the competitive nature of the Champions League scrap this season, only a victory will keep the Rome club in fifth this weekend. One of their biggest issues throughout the season has been their away form, having picked up just five victories on their travels this term.
Fiorentina are also in the hunt for a European finish this season. They come into this round sitting eighth in the standings, but they have suffered just one defeat across their last five. A win on Sunday could see them end the round within two points of their Rome rivals.
However, victories have been hard to come by for Fiorentina in recent weeks, as they have won maximum points on just one from their last four matches. They were held to a disappointing 0-0 draw in their previous fixture in the competition, as they struggled to breakdown the ten-men of Torino.
Fiorentina vs Roma Head to Head
The previous meeting between the sides this season ended in a 1-1 draw. Fiorentina have won two of the previous four league fixtures between the sides, with both victories being recorded in Florence. Roma’s last away win against their rivals was recorded in March 2021. However, there have been home wins in four of the last five league clashes between the teams.
Fiorentina vs Roma Prediction
The home advantage in this fixture is clear from the head-to-head record. Roma’s focus may be on the Europa League this week, meaning that there could be value in siding with a home victory for Fiorentina in Serie A on Sunday.
