AS Roma stand at the 3rd position and they have the same number of points as their rivals, but home team have better goal difference. The 3rd place leads in the qualifications for the UEFA Champions League and that is the main goal this season for both sides. Roma are in the great form with 6 consecutive wins and in every all those six matches they scored at least two goals. They are playing very good this season, especially upfront their supporters where they lost only once in Serie A this season. Another positive fact about home side is that they one of the best attacks. AS Roma and Napoli scored 55 goals this season in 27 matches (average two goals per match).

Fiorentina also want to reach the 3rd position and this is very important match for them. Their recent performance is very solid. In the last 7 Serie A matches, visitors are unbeaten and they will do their best in order to avoid defeat at Olimpico. In the first half of the season AS Roma beat them 1-2, so visitors will be fully motivated to revenge them. Are they capable to beat them, we will see. Fiorentina play very good at home, but on away ground they are not impressive. In the last 9 away matches in all competitions, visitors have managed to win only two games. They know how to hit the net, without any doubt, and they showed that. In the last 5 Serie A matches they scored on every game at least one goal and could be very dangerous for home defence.

AS Roma vs Fiorentina injuries and suspensions

Home side miss Gyomber (6/0 d) and De Rossi (18/1 m), while Iago Falque (20/2 f) is doubtful. On the other side, visitors will be without injured Benalouane (0/0 d), while Zarate (5/1 f) is out due to suspension.

AS Roma vs Fiorentina possible lineups

AS Roma: Szczesny; Florenzi, Rudigar, Manolas, Digne; Nainggolan, Keita; El Shaarawy, Salah, Pjanic; Perotti.
Fiorentina: Tatarusanu; Roncaglia, Rodriguez, Astori, Alonso; Badelj, Vecino; Tello, Borja Valero, Bernardeschi; Kalinic.

AS Roma vs Fiorentina Prediction

Roma have an advantage of home field and they are closer to take all three points, but visitors want the same, so I expect an open match between AS Roma vs Fiorentina and both teams to score.
