Fiorentina vs Fiorentina Match Analysis & Prediction
15/01/2022 10:45 pm
Roma and Fiorentina, safely through to the Coppa Italia quarter-finals in midweek, clash at Stadio Olimpico on Sunday night.
The Giallorossi’s victory over Genoa followed a fightback to draw with the champions last week; meanwhile, their visitors posted two wins and a draw in 2023.
Roma, who dramatically earned a point against AC Milan last weekend to begin their unbeaten start to the year, beat Serie B side Genoa to a place in the Coppa Italia’s quarterfinals.
Two late strikes from Roger Ibanez and Tammy Abraham had earned Roma a draw against Milan in dramatic circumstances, ensuring that both Juventus and AC Milan remained within six points of them in the table.
Ultimately, it took a moment of magic from recent world champion Paulo Dybala to secure safe passage into the cup. After racking up 25 shots and some 16 corners, Roma deserved winners in the end; Dybala scored eight goals for his team this season.
Fiorentina’s only win in the past 10 games came last May, with a 2-0 victory at home over Roma. They now travel to the capital, having earned a place in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals by beating Sampdoria 1-0 midweek.
The Viola have struggled this season but have drawn with Monza and then beaten Sassuolo since returning to competitive action – perhaps signaling brighter times ahead.

Fiorentina Team News
As Roma’s Lorenzo Pellegrini is set to miss the clash, having suffered a thigh injury against Genoa, manager Jose Mourinho is unsure whether Georginio Wijnaldum will be fit enough to play. The center-back Roger Ibanez must serve a suspension, so Chris Smalling can return to the side, and Marash Kumbulla might keep his place.

Defender Arthur Cabral, midfielder Rolando Mandragora, and winger Riccardo Sottil will all miss the trip to Rome. Midweek match-winner Antonin Barak has scored in both of his last two league meetings with Roma after failing to find the net in each of his first six and will hope to keep his place in support of either Luka Jovic or Christian Kouame up front.
