Roma Preview – Will Roma collect three points and extend their unbeaten run to seven matches in the process?
It was as bad a start to the season as you could possibly get when Roma went down 3-0 to Verona. Coming on the back of a season where they were disappointing, it was the last thing that Paulo Fonseca was wanting. Credit to to the coach and his players since then, however, as Roma have put together an unbeaten run of six matches in Serie A and the Europa League.
Three wins and three draws may not sound overly impressive but considering two of those draws have been against Juventus and current leaders Milan, it shows the strides this young team are making now.
Fiorentina Preview – Could Fiorentina pull off an upset and grab their first away win of the campaign?
Giuseppe Iachini and Fiorentina got a much needed win last weekend when beating Udinese. It was just their second win of the league season and came on the back of a game where they were two goals up away to newly-promoted Spezia only to have to settle for a point. Iachiini will celebrate a year in charge of the club next month and overall it’s been a successful appointment.
Fiorentina did wave goodbye to their prized asset on transfer deadline day as Federico Chiesa moved to Juventus and they now have to look to the likes of Gaetano Castrovilli and Patrick Cutrone for greater contributions in attack.

The win over Torino on the opening weekend remains the only clean sheet for Fiorentina this season and that’s obviously an area which the coach will hope to improve. Although he will be happy with how dynamic his team have been in attack, especially with Chiesa’s departure.
Fiorentina showed last season that whilst they are inconsistent on their travels they are capable of big performances. Wins over Milan and Napoli prove that and they will fancy their chances of causing their hosts problems tomorrow.
Roma vs Fiorentina Betting Advice
Both teams will come into this game believing they can get the three points following their performances last time out. The pressure is on Roma due to being at home and having the better squad, and they will be confident after being the first team to take points off Milan this season. For the visitors they backed up the win against Udinese with another in the Coppa Italia.
It’s a fixture which promises goals with 50 shared in the last 15 meetings and the way both teams have started this season only strengthens the hope of more.
