Roma are pushing hard for a top-four finish as they welcome an in-form Fiorentina side in a key Serie A clash.
The home team boosted their UEFA Champions League hopes with a 2-0 win over Bologna, taking their tally to 61 points.
Despite that, Gian Piero Gasperini’s side still trail the top four by three points and face a challenging run-in, including a crucial Derby della Capitale against Lazio.
Their home form offers real encouragement, though, as they have gone unbeaten in league action since November.
On the other hand, Fiorentina arrive with momentum of their own, having lost just once in their last 11 league games across all competitions, most recently drawing 0-0 with Sassuolo.
While their record against top-seven opposition has been poor, with just one win all season, they are no longer looking over their shoulder in the relegation battle and can instead focus on finishing strongly.
Under Paolo Vanoli, they have also been solid away from home, losing only one of their last five matches on the road in all competitions, suggesting they could still pose a serious challenge despite Roma’s strong home record.

Whispers predicts: Roma 2-1 Fiorentina

Their success in the previous head-to-head meeting earlier this season provides a psychological edge that cannot be ignored.
Although Fiorentina’s form in their last 10 Serie A games has been impressive, they will look to build on that confidence heading into this game.
