Serie A’s late Sunday game puts Fiorentina against Roma in what is arguably the second most interesting clash of the round. Both teams are lingering near the top 6 of the league table and most certainly have aspirations to break into this prestigious club. However, inconsistency has been Fiorentina and Roma’s bane throughout this season.
Fiorentina Team News
After a very slow start to the season, Fiorentina have picked up the pace considerably up to a point where the team is undefeated in its last 6 competitive fixtures. The tally from this streak is 5 wins and a draw with 2 of the victories coming against direct opposition for the top 6 in the face of Lazio and Milan. Fiorentina’s fixtures have also been marked by a high amount of goals, as 6 of their last 8 matches have produced over 2.5 goals. I Viola have scored at least 2 goals themselves in 7 of their last 8 fixtures too, but have only kept 2 clean sheets in the process. However, they both came during Serie A fixtures.
AS Roma Team News
Roma faced defeat against Inter in the previous Serie A round but were more fortunate during the midweek Europa League action which saw them scrape a minimal 1-0 win over Dynamo Kyiv. But things on the domestic front are not unravelling the way Roma would have liked as with only 10 points to their name, the team is currently 10th and must fight an uphill battle for the top 6. The Giallorossi have managed to find the net in 4 of their last 5 Serie A fixtures, but have also conceded in the same amount of games within their last 5 matches. The cases in which Roma both scored and conceded from their most recent five games is 3.

Fiorentina – AS Roma Betting Prediction
Fiorentina’s recent games have been entertaining and goal-rich, to say the least. The team seems proficient in scoring goals, but also quite liable to concede as well. Roma can also be said to share the same boat, although the Giallorossi’s offence is considerably less potent. Given the fact that both teams seem to find a way to score, while also conceding regularly and taking into consideration the most recent 3 H2H results between these two, my pick for this game will be both teams to score.
