Football, Italy, Serie A: AS Roma vs Fiorentina

On the program this sunday (8:45 p.m.) at the Stadio Olimpico of Rome: Roma vs Fiorentina, the evening game of this week's Serie A, as both teams have games in the Europa League group phase on thursday evening (Fiorentina in Lyon, Roma in Basles).

In the italian championship Fiorentina has so far achieved two home victories (against Cagliari and Palermo) and a draw in Bologna, the "giallorossi", now with their new coach Claudio Ranieri have had a less brilliant start, losing two times (away against Genoa and in Rome against Juventus) and one away victory in Siena. So the romans need a victory quite urgently, but it won't be easy to beat Gilardino & co.
Roma will play again with their "capitano" Francesco Totti which certainly is an advantage for the giallorossi, for Fiorentina on the other hand Adrian Mutu, who seems to have recovered from his muscular injury, will probably play again. With Mutu, youngster Jovetic and Alberto Gilardino, Fiorentina will certainly be able to cause some trouble in front of Roma's goal. The giallorossi are already under pressure, also because of the demission of their coach Luciano Spalletti and will do what they can to beat the "viola" team.

All in all we can expect a nice game between two teams who are more or less on the same level. AS Roma might be a bit more nervous, but the fact of playing at home is a big advantage for them. I think the result will be a draw, my tip is x, draw between Roma and Fiorentina. The best odd is on bet365 with 3,40
