Roma and Fiorentina kick off their new Serie A campaign at the Stadio Olimpico on Monday, August 24th at 2:45 PM ET, with both sides eager to start the season with a statement victory. While the table currently places the hosts in 20th and the visitors in 18th prior to kick-off, both clubs harbor genuine European ambitions for the year ahead.
Roma vs Fiorentina Recent Results
The home team prepare for this opener following an inconsistent pre-season, culminating in a 2-2 draw away at Borussia Dortmund. While their friendly results were mixed, their league form at the end of last season was stellar; the Giallorossi won their last five Serie A matches and kept clean sheets in five of their last seven.
The away team, meanwhile, enter the clash with early momentum after a commanding 4-1 victory over Benevento in the Coppa Italia. The visitors proved incredibly tough to beat at the tail end of the previous campaign, remaining undefeated in 10 of their last 11 league matches, though they tended to favor tight affairs with under 2.5 goals scored in eight of their last nine games.
Roma vs Fiorentina Head to Head
The last meeting between these two Italian giants saw Roma secure a dominant 4-0 victory on home turf back in May. While the overall record across their last six meetings is perfectly balanced with two wins each and two draws, the Stadio Olimpico has been a graveyard for the visitors. The hosts have won six of their last seven home matches against the Viola in all competitions, leading at both half-time and full-time in six of those games.

The hosts will have to cope without two key players for this season opener, as Pellegrini and Bah are both ruled out through injury. Despite these absentees, the Giallorossi boast a formidable attack, with Dybala and Soulé set to support Malen up front.
The visitors travel to Rome with a largely healthy squad, though Parisi is sidelined with an injury. New signing de Gea is expected to start in goal, hoping to replicate the defensive resilience that saw the away side prove so difficult to break down last term.

Prediction: Roma 2-1 Fiorentina
With both teams possessing strong league credentials from the end of last season, this opening-day fixture promises to be a tight affair.

The Giallorossi have scored at least two goals in each of their last five league matches, and their attacking depth should see them through to a narrow 2-1 victory at the Stadio Olimpico.

While the visitors often favor low-scoring affairs, their recent 4-1 cup win shows they have found their scoring boots. With Roma missing some defensive shield in midfield and both teams eager to make an early statement, backing both teams to find the back of the net is a highly attractive alternative angle.
