Roma vs Fiorentina: Team News and Expert Analysis
The Rome club struggled for a long time to return to the Champions League. But a year ago, they bet on Gasperini, who left Atalanta. He managed, although not without difficulty, to achieve the goal — with 73 points, overtaking Como and, more importantly, Milan and Juventus, finishing even in third place.
The team from Florence appointed Pioli as the new head coach a year ago, but instead of the expected progress, they failed to win at all in Serie A, although they looked decent in the Europa League. The situation improved after Vanoli took over as coach — with him, they even pulled away from the relegation zone and finished in fifteenth place. Now Grosso has replaced him. His debut was a cup match against Benevento, which they won 4-1, scoring all their goals by the 50th minute.
The capital's footballers averaged 1.55 goals scored per game, but conceded half as much, 0.82, on average. Moise Kean and company scored just 1.08 goals per game, while conceding 1.32.
