Fiorentina vs AS Roma Prediction & Betting tips
The last weekend before the winter break in Italy is kicked off by Fiorentina and AS Roma. The mutual matches between these two teams are often goal-oriented. Fiorentina, for example, plunged the Romans in mourning with a 7-1 cup victory last January and became 2-2 in Rome in April for the competition.
Fiorentina:
Fiorentina lost four games in a row in November and December. It suffered a heavy defeat at Cagliari (5-2) and lost to PhD students Lecce and Verona without scoring a goal. Also with Torino it was a hopeless mission for Fio, although in the last minute it still made the honor (2-1).
Vincenzo Montella’s team was given a difficult assignment last Sunday to end this bad series in the home game against league-leader Inter. Already after eight minutes, Borja Valero made the opening goal on behalf of Inter against the club where he played for five years. Not much later La Viola got away well when Lautaro scored Martinez, declarant Lukaku had a foot offside. Fiorentina goalkeeper Dragowski made a number of important saves on Lukaku’s shots and headers and kept his team going. Deep in injury time, substitute Dusan Vlahovic made the tying run after a rush from his own half.
Coach Montella has since last weekend available again captain Pezzella and Boateng who had been injured for some time. On the other hand, Chiesa and Castrovilli do not seem to be fully fit at the moment and Ribery is still in the rag basket.
AS Roma:
AS Roma managed to secure wintering in the Europa League last week thanks to two early goals from Perotti and Dzeko. Opponent Wolfsberger made it even more difficult for the Romans to come back to 2-2, but the 2-3 that the Romans from Europe would play would not be there.
Last weekend the start of Roma in-house was less convincing. The Giallorossi gave a huge number of chances to the closing of the SPAL and were lucky that goalkeeper Lopez returned several shots from Petagna. Just before half-time things went wrong, Kolarov made a clumsy foul in his own penalty area and Petagna shot the 0-1 from eleven meters on behalf of SPAL. In the second half, the Romanisti dominated and gave almost no chance away. The equalizer was lucky that Pellegrini’s shot went through the leg of Tomovic into the goal, but in view of the game, the goals of Roma could not have been missed. It eventually won thanks to a utilized penalty kick from Perotti and a kick from substitute Mkhitaryan 3-1.
