Fiorentina’s fading chances of qualifying for Europe face an uphill task against the rampaging Roma over the weekend. This Serie A match will be played at the Stadio Artemio Franchi on Sunday. Ahead of this round, the hosts are eighth with 42 points, while the visitors are fifth with 47 points. Fiorentina are five points behind their visitors and are struggling to hold on to their chances of qualifying for Europe next season. They are coming off a 4-3 win over Maccabi Haifa in the UEFA Europa Conference League first leg, which extends their unbeaten run to four games in all competitions. That doesn’t change the fact that Fiorentina have struggled in the league over recent weeks. The hosts have failed to win seven of their last nine league matches, drawing three and losing four in the process. That said, Fiorentina have been irresistible at home, winning six of their last eight home league matches and losing just once.

Roma have revived their European ambitions and start this round four points behind the top four spots. They are coming off a 4-0 win over Brighton in the Europa League first leg, which was their fifth win in a row in all competitions. Their form under new manager Daniele De Rossi has improved significantly, as they have won six of their last seven Serie A matches. The only loss in this sequence came against leaders Inter Milan, when they were beaten 4-2. This upsurge in form has also seen them improve their away form, as Roma have won their last three away league games. They have scored nine goals during these three games, and that’s an indicator of their improved scoring record.
