Fiorentina vs Roma Live Stats & Betting Odds
Fiorentina Prediction – Can Fiorentina pull out of slump?
Friday night’s hosts, Fiorentina, find themselves in a bit of a mess as the home side now occupy a disappointing 14th place on the Serie A league ladder following a series of defeats in recent times and confidence is likely to be fragile at best ahead of this clash with Roma.
4 defeats out of their last 5 matches overall in the Italian top flight have taken its toll on Fiorentina who have slowly descended down the domestic table following defeats to Cagliari, Hellas Verona, Lecce and Torino, but a point in last Sunday’s clash against Inter Milan in a 1-1 draw at home ended this losing streak
Results at home have also suffered with defeats to Lazio and Lecce in recent weeks amidst an overall home record of 2-3-3 9/10 which includes failing to win any of their last 4 matches on home turf at their Stadio Artemio Franchi.
Indeed, results at home have been on the decline for some time for Fiorentina as the bigger picture shows the hosts have registered just 2 wins out of their last 19 matches at home in the Italian top tier.
Roma Prediction – Can Roma take advantage?
So, the question is – can Roma take advantage of Fiorentina’s poor stretch of results at home in Serie A and in turn boost their own prospects of a top four finish in the Italian top flight on Friday night?
With just 2 defeats throughout this campaign to date along with having put together a recent impressive sequence of results which have seen Roma win 3 of their last 4 matches, the chances look pretty good for the visitors to add to their points tally in this encounter.
Recent wins against Brescia, Hellas Verona and SPAL in 3-0, 3-1 and 3-1 wins respectively have shown that Roma are in good goalscoring form too, and they also held out for an impressive point away from home at 2nd placed Inter Milan in a 0-0 draw.
Indeed, Roma have suffered just 1 defeat away from home so far this season amidst a solid looking record of 4-3-1 11/5 which includes earlier wins over Bologna, Lecce and Udinese as well as keeping 4 clean sheets out of their 8 away matches so far this term.
