Roma square off against Fiorentina at the Stadio Olimpico on Friday night and the result of the game could be crucial in deciding which team will earn the 3rd and final Champions League spot in Serie A.
Roma Match Betting News
Roma have enjoyed a brilliant renaissance following the return of Luciano Spalletti as manager and the Giallorossi sealed their sixth consecutive victory in Serie A by claiming a 3-1 triumph over Empoli last time out.
Now Roma have moved into 3rd place in Serie A and have to be considered as favourites to finish in the coveted Champions League place by the end of the season.
However, the capital side cannot afford to get carried away as of yet and with a clash against 4th place Fiorentina up next, maintaining the winning run will be of paramount importance for Spalletti’s men.
Elio Capradossi, Norbert Gyömber, Daniele De Rossi, Radja Nainggolan and Ezequiel Ponce are likely to be ruled out of the clash due to injuries.
Fiorentina Match Betting News
Fiorentina held Napoli to a credible 1-1 draw last weekend but the dropped points meant that Roma managed to move into 3rd place in the table at their expense.
Fiorentina will surely be keen on taking back their long held 3rd place in Serie A soon and Paulo Sousa’s men have been handed a great opportunity to do so as they directly square off against Roma at the Stadio Olimpico on Friday night.
Yohan Benalouane is a doubt due to fitness related problems while Mauro Zarate serves the final match of his extended suspension.
Roma vs Fiorentina Match Prediction
Roma ended their four match winless streak against Fiorentina by claiming a 2-1 victory earlier on in the season and they should once again be heading into the clash on Friday as favourites.
The match is certain to be a very closely fought affair between two quality sides and the fans can expect a keenly contest game, with Roma likely to come away from the clash with a narrow victory.
