Fiorentina vs Roma prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups - October 27, 2024
This Sunday, the Artemio Franchi Stadium in Florence will set the stage for an exciting Serie A clash as Fiorentina hosts Roma. Here’s an expert prediction from the Dailysports team.
Fiorentina
In their last outing, Raffaele Palladino’s side cruised to an emphatic 6-0 away victory over Lecce, marking their second consecutive win of the season. This dominant result was their largest win since 2022 and allowed Fiorentina to rise in the standings, where they now share fifth place with three other teams.
At home, Fiorentina tends to play an attacking brand of football, aiming to control the pitch. Impressively, they have scored in 11 of their last 12 Serie A home matches, netting at least twice in nine of those games. However, their defense has shown vulnerabilities, having kept only one clean sheet in their last 14 home league matches. On Thursday, the team secured a 4-2 away win over St. Gallen in the Conference League.
Roma
Ivan Juric's side suffered a narrow 0-1 home defeat to Inter Milan last weekend, ending their five-match unbeaten streak in Serie A, which included two wins and three draws. Notably, this was also the first time in the last five rounds that Roma failed to score. They currently sit mid-table, sharing the 10th position with Empoli.
Roma's overall scoring rate in Serie A has been modest, but they have shown consistency in front of goal on the road, having scored in 11 of their last 14 away league matches.

- The "Both Teams to Score" bet has hit in the last three meetings between these teams.

Head-to-Head
