On the 9th of May, Fiorentina will host Roma in a clash of these two evenly matched Serie A teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 15 degrees, a perfect day for football. Fiorentina is fresh off their 0-1 loss against Milan. Rafael Leão scored the first goal for Milan in the 82nd minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Fiorentina was frustrated by Milan’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Milan ended the match with the shutout victory. Fiorentina is looking for direction having earned 14 points in their last 10 matches, while roma sits at 6th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 0-0 scoreless draw against Bologna. Neither Roma nor Bologna could manage to put one past the goalie. They had 17 and 11 shots on net respectively, but no one could score, and the match ended in a 0 – 0 draw,. Roma should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 19 points in their last 10 matches.
In their last match on the 22nd of August, Roma won by a score of 3 to 1. Henrikh Mkhitaryan struck first for Roma in the 26th minute on a feed from Tammy Abraham, then Nikola Milenković tied it up for Fiorentina in the 60th minute.
