As I mentioned in previous weeks, Fiorentina, despite some brand transfers, is going through a terrible period.
The “Viola” formation does not find its game with which it has accustomed us in the last seasons and occupies the 14th place after the first 16 stages.
It managed to earn only 17 points, “dowries” of points that position it at 11 lengths after the last position that ensures the presence in European cups and only 4 points over the “red line” of relegation. Therefore, there is no room for any kind of negotiations, any negative result for Fiorentina can be decisive in terms of meeting the goals at the end of the season. We expect the duel against AS Roma to be one in which the hosts will try to do everything in their power to get all the points put in play and, implicitly, the hosts to force the attack.
On the other side, in opposition, we find AS Roma. The team in the capital of Italy is going through an excellent period, occupying the 4th position in the standings, with 32 points. Despite this fact, AS Roma is not allowed to take any wrong steps either, the fight for a place that ensures the presence in the European cups is fiercer than ever.
As for the Friday night duel, the Italian press reports that the Romanians could start the duel with Fiorentian with a very offensive formula, with Edin Dzeko used as a forced tip, while the Fairies and Perotti will be used on their flanks, their climbs. they can be decisive in the context of attacks carried out quickly.

Football Prediction of the Day Fiorentina vs AS Roma
We have derby on Friday in Italy and I expect a balanced and tense game.
There is always pressure in such a match, and I think that will lead to many fouls.
The handicap on this kind of bet seems too low and I think it should be taken advantage of.
The statistics show that each of the last five championship matches played by Fiorentina has overcome the handicap below.
