AS Roma would undoubtedly relish the chance to disrupt their rivals’ promotion hopes, but a 15-game winless streak on the road, including five straight losses, indicates that such an outcome may be out of reach. On the other hand, Fiorentina have been dominant at home, winning eight of their last nine matches at this level.
Recent AS Roma games haven’t provided much excitement, with seven of their last ten Serie A matches featuring two goals or fewer. Similarly, Fiorentina’s last five home games have all seen under 2.5 goals, with only four goals scored across those fixtures.
It’s also been uncommon to see both teams score in Fiorentina’s recent home games, with only six of their last 19 league matches featuring goals from both sides. Additionally, AS Roma have either failed to score or kept a clean sheet in their last four away matches, making it unlikely that both teams will find the back of the net in this contest.
Prediction
While AS Roma would love to spoil Fiorentina’s promotion bid, their poor form away from home—15 winless games and five straight losses—suggests they will struggle. Fiorentina, meanwhile, have been strong at home, with eight wins from their last nine games.
Prediction: Fiorentina 1 : 0 AS Roma
