This race for Europe continues in Serie A this weekend but these Fiorentina vs. Roma predictions involve two sides that have already booked a place in a European final this season. Roma are in a strong position to claim a top-six spot but could be considered an outsider for a Champions League place.
Fiorentina vs. Roma odds
1 – A draw – 37/15
2 – Roma under 2.5 total goals – 1/10
3 – Total goals scored under 2.5 – 8/11
4 – Both teams to score – 22/23
5 – A 1-1 draw – 11/2
Jose Mourinho’s Roma are set for a thrilling end to the 2022-23 season, as the Portuguese boss hunts a trophy and European qualification. Ahead of this weekend’s trip to Fiorentina, Roma find themselves already in the European qualification positions, with a point advantage over seventh-place Juventus.
Juventus’ drop back down the table has been caused by a ten-point penalty being imposed for financial impropriety, following the overturning of their previous ban. But that is unlikely to impact Roma too much.
A top-four finish is probably out of Mourinho’s reach and he will be using their Europa League final date with Sevilla as a back-door option to reach next season’s Champions League. There is still work to do domestically though, and Roma’s current run of no wins and four draws from their last six league matches does not inspire confidence.
But with Fiorentina’s league season effectively over, their form has dropped off. There has been just one league win in four ahead of their Europa Conference League final against West Ham.
Both teams seem to be distracted by the big games coming up and a repeat of the draw pattern looks likely. Roma only scoring four in their last five is an indication of the lack of league firepower. Only two of Roma’s last five games have included over 2.5 goals scored in total between both teams, with Fiorentina’s record slightly different at one in their last four.
A tight draw that keeps Roma on track for a Europa League spot, ahead of their final with Sevilla seems a good bet. But Mourinho will want more. The eyes of both sets of players will be justifiably on the bigger end of season prize, as Roma heads to Budapest and Fiorentina face the Hammers in Prague.
