Fiorentina vs AS Roma prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-10-04 13:00.
[p]Fiorentina will try to build on their morale-boosting European win on Thursday and improve their hugely disappointing Serie A start to the season against Roma.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Fiorentina’s 2-0 victory over Sigma Olomouc in the UEFA Conference League on Thursday evening made it a third clean sheet in five matches for Stefano Pioli’s men, but their five-game winless start to this Serie A campaign has certainly come as a surprise (D3, L2). That run includes a 0-0 draw against league newcomers Pisa last weekend, with La Viola scoring just three goals in the opening five rounds of fixtures and facing the serious threat of remaining winless in their first six Italian top-flight encounters in a season for only the third time ever! Five victories inside 90 minutes across their last seven home outings in all competitions offers them some hope here though. [/p]
[p]It has been a completely different start to the season for Roma, who also recruited a new head coach over the summer, with Gian Piero Gasperini leading the Giallorossi to four wins in their opening five league matches this term, including their latest 2-0 victory over Hellas Verona. The result means that Roma start this round level on points with the leaders, but they unexpectedly faltered on Thursday when losing 1-0 at home to Lille in the UEFA Europa League – failing to convert the same penalty three times! The capital club are on a four-game away winning streak though, including all three outings on the road in 2025/26.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Fiorentina are unbeaten in each of their last four home meetings with Roma (W3, D1), while both teams have scored in eight of the last nine H2Hs at Stadio Artemio Franchi.[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]

[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Veteran Edin DĹľeko is still in search of his first Fiorentina league goal, but he has scored twice inside 25 minutes in six meetings with his former club Roma (W4, D1, L1). MatĂas SoulĂ© rounded off the scoring against Verona, with Roma having won five of his last six goalscoring appearances to nil (D1).[/p]
[p]Fiorentina’s Simon Sohm is doubtful for this fixture, while Roma will likely remain without Leon Bailey, who is expected to return after the international break.[/p]
