Fiorentina - Roma predictions

Fiorentina will have to fight an uphill battle to win this match. They are the underdogs of the matchup – though Roma don’t have a huge advantage. Still, with the 3.08 odds on a home win, things may get a bit dicey.

A difficult match is ahead of Roma. They have a big fish to fry but we’ve seen them do it in the past and it’s certain they can do it again.

Previously in the Serie A, Fiorentina faced off against Pisa in a relatively favourable away game. However, the two teams proved to be evenly matched, with neither side breaking the stalemate for the duration of the bout.

Roma never really broke a sweat against Hellas Verona as they recorded a pretty straightforward 2:0 victory last time out in the Serie A. Having taken an early lead in the first half they only brought it home for a rather convincing and morale-boosting win.

We’re not very likely to see a lot of excitement in a matchup like this, but you never know. To illustrate, La Viola recorded two consecutive away games with less than 2 goals overall.

The home team will be looking to stay afloat and out of the relegation zone, though tough matches like this one will only make that harder. To be fair, though, the season just barely started, so they may climb up the ladder yet.

With just 0 points between them and the current table leaders, Roma can safely call the early season a success. Still, wrestling another 3 points away from Fiorentina will require a strong performance. Besides, it’s still way too early to start celebrating.

The Giallorossi were soundly defeated the last time they clashed with Fiorentina in the previous season. This upset would have been less painful if not for the considerable goal difference at the final whistle. They’re still more likely to win this game, though.

The absence of injuries or suspensions means both teams will have their full lineups at their disposal for a thrilling matchup.

The 1 offered for Under 2.5 Goals bets in this match may seem a bit risky considering the market, but they’re well worth it compared to the probability of the outcome. That said, it’s a solid choice for value, but not necessarily safety.
