AS Roma would no doubt love to derail their rivals’ promotion chances, but a 15-match winless streak away from home, including five consecutive defeats, suggests that achieving such a result might be out of their reach.
Meanwhile, Fiorentina has been in excellent form on home turf, winning eight of their last nine matches at this level.
AS Roma’s recent matches haven’t been high-scoring affairs, with seven of their last ten Serie A games featuring two goals or fewer. Fiorentina’s last five home games have also been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals in each, and only four goals scored across those fixtures.
It’s also been rare for both teams to score in Fiorentina’s recent home games, with only six of their last 19 league matches featuring goals from both sides. Moreover, Roma have either failed to score or kept a clean sheet in their last four away matches, making it unlikely that both teams will score in this encounter.
Prediction
Although AS Roma would love to upset Fiorentina’s promotion hopes, their poor away form—winless in 15 games with five straight defeats—indicates they will likely struggle. Fiorentina, on the other hand, has been dominant at home, winning eight of their last nine matches.
Prediction: Fiorentina 1 : 0 AS Roma
