Roma vs Fiorentina Preview

• Tournament: Serie A
• Venue: Stadio Olimpico
• Date: 4th May
• Kick-off Time: 04:00 PM GMT

Roma vs Fiorentina is set to take place at the Stadio Olimpico on 4th May in a Serie A fixture. Roma had a shaky start to the 2024-2025 season, however, they have been one of the best teams in Serie A ever since Claudio Ranieri became the manager in November. They have been on an 18-match win streak in the league ever since, which includes an impressive 1-0 win over Inter Milan last week as well. Roma are currently in 6th place with 60 points in 34 games, winning 17 matches, drawing nine, and losing eight. They have drawn two matches and have won three in their last five fixtures in the league.

Fiorentina are in 8th place with 59 points in 34 games and have a great chance to qualify for the top four. They have either beaten or drawn against top Serie A sides, namely Juventus, Inter Milan, AC Milan, Napoli, and Roma, this season. Fiorentina's form in the last five league games has been great, winning three matches and drawing two. Fiorentina have already outdone their previous season's points tally since they had 60 points in 38 games last season and currently have 59 points in 34 games.

Roma Team News

There is no need for Roma manager Claudio Ranieri to make any urgent changes, and he can even field the same lineup that he did against Inter Milan last week. This is because, barring Paulo Dybala, the majority of the squad is fit. Saud Abdulhamid and Victor Nelsson are likely to return as well.

Fiorentina Team News

Fiorentina have a few absentees, namely Dodo (appendicitis) and Danilo Cataldi (muscle injury), but the good news is that Moise Kean is likely to be back after a week of absence. Although Lucas Beltran and Albert Gudmundsson are doing well up front, Kean will likely start since he has scored five goals in this fixture in his career, including a brace in their last meeting.

Key Players To Watch In Roma vs Fiorentina

Artem Dovbyk (Roma)

The 27-year-old forward is in his peak, having earned a move to Roma after an impressive 24 goals and eight assists tally for Girona in La Liga. As of the 2024-2025 season, Dovbyk has scored 11 goals and has three assists in 30 Serie A appearances, and overall has 16 goals and five assists in 43 appearances.

Moise Kean (Fiorentina)

Kean has spent much of his career at Juventus, Everton, and PSG, often enduring tough spells of inconsistency where he just could not tap into his full potential. He is finally doing that for Fiorentina, where he has scored 23 goals and has four assists in 40 appearances across all competitions in his first season. Kean has scored 17 goals and has three assists in 29 Serie A appearances, as well as making him one of the most lethal goal scorers in the league.

Roma vs Fiorentina Prediction

Although Fiorentina did manage to beat Roma 5-1 earlier this season, there is little chance that such a thrashing will be repeated. Roma have become one of the best sides in the top 5 leagues and have made their home stadium, Olimpico, a fortress. Furthermore, Fiorentina have less rest since they are competing in the UEFA Conference League semi-finals as well.

Predicted Score: Roma 1-0 Fiorentina
