Taking a trip to the world of Serie A, we have a matchup between Roma and Fiorentina, two teams that have been beyond fascinating to watch this season. If you take both goalkeepers, Mile Svilar for Roma and David De Gea for Fiorentina, into consideration, you'll see that both have been peppering out saves like they're going out of style. A good goalkeeper is a bookie's nightmare, as it can turn the tide of the game in no time.
Fiorentina are coming with a bunch of their own artillery. Dodô, Rolando Mandragora, and Robin Gosens have been absolutely laying it down, taking stats to a whole new level. It's as if accuracy in passing was invented for them. We also can't miss out mentioning Albert Guðmundsson, Pablo Marí, and Luca Ranieri who are all determined to leave their mark on this game.
Now, let us turn our gaze towards Roma. Matías Soulé, Evan Ndicka, and Angeliño are the three musketeers to keep an eye on. Soulé, with his 2 goals and 4 shots on goal, just might stir the pot for Roma. Also keep your eyes peeled for Gianluca Mancini, Zeki Çelik, and Manu Koné who have got some impressive stats under their belt.
Now, the past encounters between these two teams feel more like a seesaw rather than a soccer match! Last five games have seen a smorgasbord of results, so historical data won't play a huge role in this prediction.
Looking at their season records, it's like seeing double. Both teams hanging around the 17-win mark. Not much in it, to be honest.
Checking out the recent results, both squads have been pretty solid, although Roma has shown some grit recently with a notable win against Inter. Fiorentina had a decent game against Empoli, but that draw with Parma may play on their confidence a bit.
All considered, it's time to take stand and make the big prediction.
