Roma were involved in a 6-goal thriller in Serie A last time out, drawing 3-3 at the San Siro against the league leaders AC Milan. The visitors came from behind on three occasions to rescue a point thanks to a goal from Dzeko, a penalty from Veretout, and a late strike from Kumbulla.
That draw means that Roma are unbeaten in their last five matches in all competitions, picking up three wins and two draws.
Both teams have scored in four of those five unbeaten games, and over 2.5 goals have been produced in five of Roma’s last six outings, so you can see why Forebet expects goals on Sunday. Recent encounters between Roma and Fiorentina haven’t failed to impress.
Both teams have scored in each of the pair’s last five encounters, and over 2.5 goals have been produced in the last four meetings between the two clubs.
There have been two big wins during that period, with Roma winning 4-1 at Fiorentina in the league last season and the season before that, Fiorentina knocked Roma out of the Coppa Italia with a 7-1 home win.
Fiorentina sit one place and 1pt behind Roma in the Serie A table and have picked up three wins from their last six matches. Last time out, Fiorentina claimed all 3pts in a 5-goal thriller against Udinese. Castrovilli and Milenkovic put the hosts 2-0 up, but Okaka pulled a goal back for Udinese before the break. Castrovilli netted his second of the game to make it 3-1 but Okaka scored another 4-minutes from time to set up a nervy end to the match.
Both teams have scored, and over 2.5 goals have been produced in five of Fiorentina’s last six matches in all competitions, just another reason Forebet is backing goals in this weekend’s Serie A clash.
You have to go all the way back to 2007 to find the last goalless draw between Roma and Fiorentina.
Goals are definitely to be expected at both ends of the pitch, with a total of over 2.5 looking increasingly likely. This Serie A match-up should be entertaining throughout as both teams will be desperate for the 3pts in order to push further into the top half of the table.
