Wednesday, at 20:00, AS Roma will receive a visit to Fiorentina in a match for the 30th Serie A. The match will take place on “Stadio Olimpico” in Rome.
Having suffered no less than three defeats in the last four stages of the championship, two of which were extremely frightening in front of rivals Lazio (0-3) and Naples (1-4), Rome saw the 7th position at the end with the number 29 Serie A. In other news, the team’s situation since Ranieri’s arrival tends to become more than sensitive, and there is already some doubt about the inspiration of the decision that led to Di Francesco’s dismissal. On the defensive, Rome looks terrible with Ranieri and has won seven goals in the three matches of his mandate on the “giallorossilor” bench.
It remains to be seen if Dzeko & Co. will recover at this intermediate stage in front of Fiorentina. “Violets” caused a real nightmare for the Romanians two months ago, when they eliminated them in Florence from the quarters of the Italian Cup with an incredible 7-1. Speaking realistically about Fiorentina’s chances of aspiring to a high goal in this season’s end, they are almost non-existent. Piole’s band does not do it well, it has not won six rounds, it’s ranked 10th, and the hopes for a place of Europe are already going to zero.
In the last ten direct confrontations between the two bands, Rome was forced four times, Fiorentina in four other rows, while the other two duels ended in a tie;
The previous direct match took place two months ago, in the quarterfinals of the Italian Cup, when, on “Artemio Franchi”, Fiorentina humiliated the capital with a 7-1 unimaginable;
The last success of the “violets” on “Olimpico” dates from April 2018, from a 2-0;
Probable teams:
AS Roma (4-4-2): Olsen- Karsdorp, Fazio, Marcano, Kolarov- Zaniolo, Pellegrini, N’Zonzi, Perotti-Schick, Dzeko
Fiorentina (4-3-1-2): Lafont- Milenkovic, Pezzella, Vitor Hugo, Biraghi- Benassi, Veretout, Dabo- Gerson- Simeone, Muriel
Given the circumstances of this game, we expect a spectacular hostile run. Anticipating a partial upsurge in the hosts that will come motivated to wash the shame of the weekend’s failure with Naples and the direct precedent against Fiorentina, we think that Rome will not lose all the points in this confrontation and will display a decent evolution, at least offensive.
PREDICTION: AS Roma to win @ 2.02
