These Fiorentina vs. Roma prediction see the Giallorossi travel to Florence with just a three point lead over their hosts. A late run of form for La Viola has seen them enter the race for European football ahead of the match at the Stadio Artemio Franchi.

Fiorentina vs. Roma odds

1 – Roma to win – 2/1

2 – Roma to keep a clean sheet – 29/10

3 – Under 2.5 goals scored – 1/1

4 – Tammy Abraham to score first – 13/2

5 – Leonardo Spinazzola to score last – 50/1

Roma travel to the Florence on Monday night looking for a key win in the race for Europa League football off the back of reaching the Europa Conference League Final with a win over Leicester City. Just three games remain in the Serie A season and the Giallorossi are neck-and-neck with their city rivals for a fifth-placed finish.

Fortunately for I Lupi, they have a solid record against their weekend opponents having not lost to La Viola in any of their last six encounters. Their meeting at the Stadio Olimpico this season was high-action with a red card apiece, finishing 3-1 to the hosts. Given past form we would back Jose Mourinho’s side to pick up all three points yet again in the reverse fixture.

After a strong start to 2022, Fiorentina have come off the boil in recent weeks, losing all of their last three games. Of most concern for Vincenzo Italiano is that two of these defeats came against Salernitana and Udinese, teams with a significantly lower budget than La Viola.

Having solid Dusan Vloahovic in January the problem has very evidently been with goalscoring as neither Krzysztof Piatek nor Arthur Cabral have picked up the mantle. Italiano’s side failed to score in three of their last four games, and against a resolute Roma defence the odds are in favour of yet another clean sheet for the Giallorossi.

The visitors have hardly been prolific in recent weeks either, having scored scoring just three times in their last four games in all competitions. As a result, a bet on under 2.5 goals scored on Monday evening could well be a winner.

Of course, with a tough run of fixtures, Roma’s difficulties up front could be down to the manager’s sparing use of Tammy Abraham. The Englishman was rested for Roma’s draw with Bologna but is likely to start against Fioretina and is our tip to score anytime.

For punters looking for higher odds, Euros-hero Leonardo Spinazzola returned to the bench last week, and is 50/1  to score last should he feature as a substitute against Fiorentina.

Fiorentina team news

There are no new injury concerns for Vincenzo Italiano with Gaetano Castrovilli and Alvaro Odriozola long term absentees. Following three consecutive defeats the manager may look to shake-up the starting XI with Lucas Torreira, Giacomo Bonaventura and Jonathan Ikone all pushing for starts.

Roma team news

Henrikh Mkhitaryan is the only injury for Jose Mourinho’s side although the manager may rotate following a draining match against Leicester on Thursday. The coach has looked to protect Nicolo Zaniolo since his return from injury so the Italian may be dropped for Felix Afena-Gyan whilst Matias Vina and Leonardo Spinazzola could also get a run-out.
