AS Roma welcome the visitors ACF Fiorentina in the Italian Serie A – Round 30. The match will be held on Wednesday, April, 3rd, at the Stadio Olimpico (Rome).
The hosting AS Roma have been very inconsistent this season – they featured a bad start to the campaign, a solid run in the middle of the tournament, knockout of the Champions League by Porto, and dismissal of Di Francesco and Monchi followed by Claudio Ranieri’s comeback to the post of the general manager. In fact, Di Francesco’s removal does not look very logical, as crucial players were sold ahead of the season (primarily, Alisson Becker) and many young perspective performers were signed (Robin Olsen, Nicolo Zaniolo, and Justin Kluivert). Thus, some time for adaptation and development was required, but James Pallotta did not give the manager and the sporting director any chance. Much went wrong just because Alisson left to Liverpool. According to specialists, he has kept over fifteen points for his new club this season (thanks to the saves that an average goalkeeper is unable to perform). Alisson is also good at kicking that perfectly suited both Di Francesco (mind he is Zdenek Zeman’s student) and Jurgen Кlopp’s Liverpool.

The visiting ACF Fiorentina may hardly count on the Champions League tournament in the nearest seasons, as there are much more qualified teams in Italy, which is sad, as Fiorentina boast a number of young talents (Giovanni Simeone and Federico Chiesa alone are worth a lot!) This is where Fiorentina’s instability originates from – one day, they register a cool win, another day, they fail. The team’s playing style remains unchanged though – they show a rather entertaining and risky football enjoyed by many.
As there was a remark of Di Francesco’s reign, we cannot but remember Fiorentina’s home victory over Roma in the Italian Cup fixture by a scoreline of 7:1. That was the time when Di Francesco’s regime greatly faltered.
To sum up, on the one hand, there is Roma with their insecure defensive line and strong individual players in the attack, on the other, there is somehow similar Fiorentina whose manager (Stefano Pioli) preaches an open attacking football. Considering all the above, we may expect an effective encounter with over two goals produced.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals.
