H2H: AS Roma vs Fiorentina - Prediction (Serie A

H2H: Roma vs Fiorentina – Comparison.

With four SA goals this season, Jordan Veretout is Roma’s leading scorer. Three of those strikes were penalties. With four goals, Gaetano Castrovilli is the first player to score in three or more of Fiorentina’s opening five league games of the campaign since Giuseppe Rossi struck in four fixtures in 2013/14. Roma have scored in 26 of the last 27 home league meetings with Fiorentina (W19, D5, L3).

Roma Insights.

Roma are unbeaten in six competitive fixtures (W3, D3) following their 0-0 UEFA Europa League draw with CSKA Sofia (October 29). They’ve rescued four points in their last two Serie A (SA) games (W1, D1) after conceding first, notably conceding inside the first ten minutes of their last two league matches as well. The hosts have scored 2+ goals in each of their last six home SA matches (W4, D2), netting between the 40th minute and HT in five games therein. As an added bonus for Roma, manager Paulo Fonseca has won both SA H2Hs since taking over.

Fiorentina Insights.

Scoring four league goals before the 15th minute already this term, Fiorentina are unbeaten in three competitive games (W2, D1) and their five competitive matches won/lost this term (W3, L2) have been decided by a one-goal margin. Across all competitions, only one of their 12 halves this season (and none of their last 11) has been goalless. A return of one win in five SA away games (W1, D2, L2) highlights Fiorentina’s struggles on the road, duly embossed further by their average of just three corners per away league game. That bettered only Genoa’s record this term (two) prior to this round. Furthermore, they have won only one league H2H here in eight attempts (W1, D1, L6).
