Roma vs Fiorentina: Prediction
Given that Roma have conceded against teams like Chievo and Pescara – two teams whose attack isn’t fearsome whatsoever hung– Fiorentina do have a shot at grabbing a goal or two here. In fact, the Viola have netted at least once in their last seven trips to this ground.
Both teams will be eager to rebound after shipping three goals in their respective games that saw the Lupi lose whilst the Gigliati barely hung on for a draw. Roma’s perfect run at the Stadio Olimpico should not be discounted, and the Lupi should be able to bounce back. However, it won’t be easy, as Fiorentina will be up for a fight.
