Fiorentina vs AS Roma Preview
Fiorentina
Fiorentina are unbeaten in their last four matches, showing an upturn in form after going winless in their opening four matches in Serie A.
On current form, Fiorentina rank 5th in Serie A out of 20 teams, with a winning rate of 38%. At home, Fiorentina have won twice and drawn twice, going unbeaten so far.
Raffaele Palladino has ditched the traditional Fiorentina 3-4-3 formation for an attacking-minded 4-4-2, which morphs to a 4-2-4 when they are in attack; this gives them more numbers in the final third.

Fiorentina is one of the most exciting teams in Serie A, making their matches always enjoyable to watch. Under Raffaele Palladino, the team executes quick vertical attacks, consistently involving 4-5 players in the forward line ready to create rapid combinations.
Additionally, Fiorentina can apply intense pressure, forcing opponents to lose the ball near their own goal. As a result, Fiorentina ranks among the top five teams in Serie A for both goals scored and expected goals created. In the UEFA Conference League, the Italian club has scored six goals in their first two matches and currently holds second place in the standings.
Raffaele Palladino’s team consistently faces defensive challenges, allowing at least two to three dangerous scoring opportunities in every match. This is often due to poor positioning of the defenders within their own penalty area. Despite these vulnerabilities, Fiorentina remains one of the top five teams in Serie A in terms of goals conceded.
Our football predictions analysis shows that Fiorentina have the potency in the final third and solidity in the rearguard to pose significant challenges to the visiting AS Roma side on Sunday.
AS Roma
Roma are winless in their last three outings in all competitions; they have scored once, conceded twice, and failed to keep a clean sheet in this run.
Their poor start to the season reflects a 25% overall win rate, with a 50% win rate at home and 0% away.
Roma remains one of the most unbalanced teams in Serie A, often switching between overly defensive and overly attacking styles of play. In their previous match against Inter, Roma spent most of the game in a low block, effectively preventing the opponent from creating dangerous opportunities.

However, Ivan Jurić’s team still conceded a goal, after which they shifted to a more open, attacking style of play, which left them vulnerable to potentially conceding one or two more goals. It will be interesting to see what strategy the Roman club chooses for their match against Fiorentina—whether they will play on the counterattack or attempt to launch positional attacks with greater numbers.

- Pick: Fiorentina to Win

- Score prediction: Fiorentina 2-1 AS Roma
Injuries to second striker Albert Guðmundsson, center-back Marin Pongracic, and defensive midfielder Rolando Mandragora are not expected to significantly impact Raffaele Palladino’s team selection, as most of the starting 11 are available ahead of the weekend clash.
Roma are also hampered by injuries ahead of the trip to Fiorentina. The absence of wingers Alexis Saelemaekers, Stephan El Shaarawy, and Matias Soule has left the Giallorossi with limited attacking options. Center-back Gianluca Mancini is also a doubt with the flu, which will be a major blow for Ivan Jurić’s side as they look to bolster their solidity against an efficient Fiorentina side.
This match is likely to be closely contested, with both sides looking for the three points. However, the home side is favored to emerge victorious.

Although they have varying styles, the two sides have shown the ability to create and take chances to differing degrees. Fiorentina are expected to start the match on the front foot and dominate possession, with Roma on the defensive.
