Fiorentina and AS Roma will lock horns with each other in Serie A this coming weekend. The match between I Viola and I Giallorossi will be held at Stadio Artemio Franchi in Florence and is scheduled to kick off at 5pm UK time on Saturday.

Fiorentina

Fiorentina are one of the biggest clubs in Serie A who tend to challenge for the European places in the league table. Things, though, have not been particularly great for the Florence side in Serie A this campaign, but they have done extremely well in Europe.

Vincenzo Italiano’s side will take on Premier League club West Ham United in the final of the UEFA Europa Conference League this season. Fiorentina are 11th in the Serie A table at the moment with 50 points from 36 matches. Last season, they finished seventh in the standings, and this campaign, they could end up eighth.

Fiorentina played out a 1-1 draw with Torino away from home in Serie A last weekend. It came after a 3-1 victory over FC Basel away from home in the semi-finals of the UEFA Europa Conference League and followed a 2-0 victory over Udinese at home in Serie A.

Team News:

Fiorentina head coach Vincenzo Italiano is likely to line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation. Cerofolini will start in goal for the home team. Kouame will lead the line for Fiorentina. Saporana, Barak and Sottil will be the three attacking midfielders.

AS Roma

AS Roma are one of the biggest clubs in Italy, and under former Chelsea and Manchester United head coach Jose Mourinho, they are having an extremely good season. I Giallorossi are still in with a chance of finishing in the top four of Serie A and could win a major European trophy as well.

Roma won the UEFA Europa Conference League last season under Mourinho. The Roman club will take on Sevilla in the final of the UEFA Europa League this campaign. Roma are sixth in the Serie A table at the moment with 60 points from 36 matches, four points behind fourth-placed and last season’s Italian champions AC Milan.

Mourinho’s side will head into the Serie A match against Fiorentina at Stadio Artemio Franchi in Florence on Saturday on the back of a 2-2 draw with Salernitana at Stadia Olimpico in Rome in the league. It came after a goalless draw with Bayer Leverkusen away from home in the second leg of the UEFA Europa League semi-final tie and followed a goalless draw with Bologna on the road in the league.

Team News:

AS Roma head coach Jose Mourinho is likely to line up his team in a 3-4-2-1 formation. Belotti will lead the line for the visiting team. Wijnaldum and Solbakken will start in attacking midfield. Rui Patricio will start in goal.

Key Factors to Consider

• Paulo Dybala has scored 11 goals and given 6 assists in 24 Serie A matches for AS Roma this season.
• Fiorentina have scored 48 goals in 36 Serie A matches this season.
• Fiorentina have won 2 of their last 5 Serie A matches this season.
• AS Roma have won 17 out of 36 Serie A matches this campaign.
• AS Roma have not won any of their last 5 Serie A games.

Conclusion

Fiorentina have nothing to play for in Serie A, while AS Roma could still finish in the top four of the league table. However, Roma’s recent form in the league has been really poor, and it is likely that they could struggle to get a win in Florence.
