Roma vs Fiorentina – Preview and betting tips

One of the most exciting game of today, February 3rd, will take place in Coppa Italia. To be more precise, AS Roma and Fiorentina will face each other in the Quarter Finals, today from 19:45, UK Time.

AS Roma have the first chance at bookmakers, but they struggled in the past few weeks and their last home win was in November, 4-2 vs Inter Milano. The home side is coming after five draws in a row and they are not in the title race anymore, realistically. Roma will be without De Rossi, Strootman, Gervinho, Balzaretti, Castan and Iturbe, all six being injured.

Fiorentina will have some missing players too, with Rossi, Bernardeschi, Lupatelli and El Hamdaoui injured, while Marcos Alonso is suspended. The guests are in a better form right now, proof that they recorded three wins and two draws in their last five competitive matches, scoring 11 goals and conceding no fewer and 7, the defence being their main problem at the moment. We have to specify that Fiorentina have five wins, one draw and only one defeat in their last seven trips.

Roma vs Fiorentina probable lineups:
Roma (4-3-3): Sanctis – Florenzi, Manolas, Mbiwa, Holebas – Paredes, Keita, Nainngolan – Pjanic, Totti, Ljajic.
Fiorentina (3-5-2): Tatarusanu – Tomovic, Rodriguez, Savic – Joaquin, Fernandez, Pizarro, Valero, Vargas – Babacar, Gomez.

Prediction: AS Roma DNB @ 1.40
AS Roma won the last three home games against Fiorentina, 4-2, 2-1 and 2-0, so we expect them to confirm their superiority once again, but in case of a draw, our money will be refunded.
