Roma, who are in the Europa League final against Sevilla, will need a morale-boosting away performance and win in this penultimate game of their season in Serie A.

Key Highlights

Fiorentina’s Attention on the Europa Conference League Final

Fiorentina have won just two matches out of their last five outings in Serie A; they have also drawn twice and lost just once in this sequence of matches.

This run of form has seen them climb the table to their current 11th position on the log. However, this run of form has seen a drop-off compared to earlier in the post-World Cup sequence of matches.

However, Fiorentina have secured a berth in the Europa Conference League final, which offers them a route to secure some silverware, while also giving them the opportunity to qualify for next year’s Europa League competition.

Fiorentina will look to end their season on a winning note, and develop the winning habit and momentum, before they face West Ham in the final. Roma will offer a stern test of their credentials on Sunday. 

Roma’s Attention on the Europa League Final

Jose Mourinho’s Roma have prioritized their Europa League involvement and run to the final over the Serie A matches. This is highlighted by the gaffer’s continued rotation of the teams playing in Serie A, with the strong teams selected for the Europa League matches.

This duality in Mourinho’s thinking is highlighted by Roma’s results in Serie A. They have not won a match in their last five outings; they have four draws and one defeat.

This run of form has seen a once promising tilt for a top four place fade away. In retrospect, this choice has irked Mourinho and the Roma fans, especially after Juventus were docked 10 points, dropping down to 7th place. 

Mourinho will have his side focused on the away match at Fiorentina as they look to regain their winning Midas touch and create the momentum, they need heading into the final against Sevilla.
