The match between Fiorentina and Roma will take place in Serie A on Friday evening. Before the season, both teams wanted to go high, especially the “Viola” formulated big goals. Looking at the game of Fiorentina vs. AS Roma the odds, then you could expect a game where the two teams are not too far apart.

Fiorentina vs AS Roma Betting Odds and Predictions

But the mood of the two teams couldn’t be more different at the moment. The host has big problems and coach Montella is about to be released. The club from the capital, which is a guest of Stadio Artemio Franchi, is getting better and better at it.
The implementation of the Fonseca system works and the results are more and more correct. AS Roma is therefore the favorite in this game. This is not yet a guarantee, but considering the omens, the prediction for the game between Fiorentina and AS Roma is that the guests will win the duel.

Fiorentina – statistics & current form

The Fiorentina experiences what it is like when standards and reality diverge widely this season. Everything looked so good in summer. The squad was upgraded with players such as Ribery, Caceres, Pulgar, Pedro or Boateng, top star Chiesa remained in the club. At least the Europa League should be attacked.

But you are far from that. Vincenzo Montella has been criticized and has been about to be released for some games. 13th place is an absolute disaster, measured by the demands. The Fiorentina has only 17 points, has already conceded 24 goals and hardly ever manages to show consistently good football for over 90 minutes.

There have been disappointments in the last league games, only the 1-1 draw against Inter Milan at the weekend caused good news. Against the league leaders, the good sides, which one undoubtedly has, were shown at least in phases. Discipline, willingness to run and a little bit of luck ensured the first point in the league in what felt like an eternity.

But this one point is of course not a turnaround. Nevertheless, before the game Fiorentina vs. AS Roma the look at the odds that the bookmakers of the “Viola” are quite confident. A home win is not entirely unlikely, although it would contradict the trend.

A major problem is the attacker’s lack of danger of scoring. Pedro, Thereau, Duncan, Boateng and Vlahovic have scored four goals so far – together. With midfielder Pulgar (3 each), Vlahovic is still the most dangerous scorer in Fiorentina. And that sums up the offensive problem very well: there is no target player who is able to use Federico Chiesa’s templates accordingly.

There are few problems in terms of personnel, only Franck Ribery is currently missing. Montella will stay with the 3-5-2 system, which Inter has already had problems with. Benassi, who recently showed a better shape, could replace Castrovilli in midfield, otherwise the same team as Inter would play.

Probable lineup of Fiorentina:

➤ Dragowski – Pezzella, Caceres, Milenkovic – Lirola, Pulgar, Badelj, Benassi, Dalbert – Chiesa, Boateng

AS Roma – Statistics & current form

The last few weeks of AS Roma can be described in one word: Good! The club from the capital is getting decent results and footballing is increasingly successful in implementing the Fonseca guidelines. With the ball, the game often looks very neat, against the ball there is still room for improvement.

But these things can only develop gradually, as long as important players fail in midfield. At least one important intermediate step has been made, the Roma are in fourth place and therefore where you want to be at the end of the season.

Overall, the Fonseca team played too often a draw, because the balance sheet with regard to the previous defeats looks good. AS Roma lost only one league game both at home and abroad. It is also impressive that the club only conceded 5 goals away. Goalkeeper Lopez also kept his own box clean in the top game at Inter.

Before the duel between Fiorentina and AS Roma, the tip is obvious that the guests will at least not lose this game.

However, Paulo Fonseca still doesn’t have much room to rotate. Smalling, Santon, Zappacosta, Cristante and Pastor are unchanged. After the 3-1 win against SPAL Ferrara, however, it is not absolutely necessary to rotate, especially since Spinazzola, Mkhitaryan and Ünder are three top-class players waiting for their chance.

Kolarov could get a break, change would be a fresh impetus for Zaniolo, who is currently rather mixed. And Mkhitaryan could be used in the center, as well as on the left outer lane, is also a very good wild card. It is also important that Mancini and Smalling, the established defense duo, are available again.

Probable lineup of AS Roma:

➤ Pau Lopez – Florenzi, Mancini, Smalling, Spinazzola – Diawara, Veretout, Pellegrini – Ünder, Perotti, Dzeko

Last matches from AS Roma:
