Roma and Fiorentina are separated by just 1 point before their matchup, with a lot at stake here. Both sides still have a realistic chance to secure a UCL spot, despite sitting at 6th and 8th, respectively. The gap between these two teams and Juventus is minimal at best, and with the way things are going in Serie A, surprises can happen everywhere.
AS Roma Team News
Roma’s impressive 0-1 win over Inter at San Siro extended the team’s undefeated streak to 6 games. Claudio Ranieri seems to have gotten his team in good form at the most important part of the season, with Roma looking set to secure European football next season, possibly even a return to the Champions League as well. Looking at the team’s undefeated streak, something becomes obvious right away – the low number of goals scored. None of Roma’s fixtures in this sequence passed the over 2.5 mark, however, they did keep 4 clean sheets, which coincided with their 4 wins in that period, all of which came with the same 1-0 result.
Fiorentina Team News
Fiorentina’s season has enjoyed its share of ups and downs, but right now the team is looking to secure European exposure for next season as well. Considering that La Viola lost to Betis 2-1 in the first leg of the Conference League semi-finals, Raffaele Palladino might not put all of his hope in that route back to Europe. Fiorentina are also on fire in Serie A, and much like Roma, is on a 6-game undefeated streak in the league. However, the difference comes from the fact that La Viola is often involved in high-scoring affairs. Four of the team’s 6 games in that sequence saw at least 3 goals scored, while Fiorentina kept a total of 3 clean sheets in that period.
Head-to-Head-Games
Fiorentina boast a slight advantage in the H2H with Roma, as they have 2 wins in their last 5 meetings with Roma. Most notably, the last time these two played one another, Fiorentina managed to dismantle Roma 5-1. All of the last 4 H2H fixtures produced goals from both sides, and 3 produced over 2.5 goals.

AS Roma – Fiorentina Betting Prediction
For this game, I will pick both teams to score. H2H statistics indicate that this is a very likely outcome. While Roma’s recent results beg to differ, Fiorentina’s last games point to a somewhat leaky defence coupled with a potent attack. Both sides still have a chance to secure Champions League football next season, but they can do so only through a win here. I expect both to try and grab that chance, as right now, securing European football next season through the league is Roma’s only chance, while for Fiorentina, it is shaping up to be the most realistic one.
