Fiorentina

They get 5W-7D-8L in 21 rounds, with 25% winning percentage. They have scored 1.05 goals and conceded 1.55 goals in average. They have been winless for four matches, which makes them in low morale.



Inter Milan

They have 62.5% wining percentage this season, raking the second in the table of the League. Their key player, Romelu Lukaku and Lautaro Javier Martinez play especially well, who have scored 24 goals this season for Inter Milan so far.



Verdict:

Inter Milan are certainly better than Fiorentina. In their last clash, Inter Milan win over Fiorentina at 4-3. The Asian handicap first odd is Inter Milan -1, which shows great support to them. It is predicted that Inter Milan will win.



Fiorentina VS Inter Milan

Prediction: 0-2, 0-3
 
Juventus vs Roma Preview:

Possible starting lineups:

Juventus:
Szczesny; Cuadrado, Bonucci, Chiellini, Danilo; McKennie, Arthur, Rabiot, Chiesa; Morata, Ronaldo

Roma:
Lopez; Mancini, Ibanez, Kumbulla; Karsdorp, Villar, Veretout, Cristante, Spinazzola; Mkhitaryan; Mayoral

Juventus host third-placed Roma at the Allianz Stadium in the derby of the round. The Old Lady are one point and one place behind their actual opponents, so a victory here could see them climbing on the third position. Three points from this match are very important for Juve as they are seven behind the leaders Milan and there is no space for any calculations. Furthermore, the difference could be cut to only four points as Juve have a match in hand, against Napoli. The derby was originally scheduled for October, but Napoli did not travel to Turin for the fixture and match was registered with an automatic 3:0 victory for Juventus, while Napoli received one-point penalty. The Vesuvians took their case to the CONI (Italian Olympic Committee) Sports Guarantee Board. Their decision was in favour of Napoli, so the match will have to be replayed. The reigning champions are in good form at the moment. They won the last two matches in Serie A and were successful in Coppa Italia semi-final. The Bianconeri first beat Bologna with 2:0. Arthur and Weston McKennie were the scorers on that match. Last weekend Juventus beat Sampdoria with 2:0 thanks to goals scored by Federico Chiesa and Aaron Ramsey. Juve also beat Inter with 2:1 in the cup thanks to the brace from Cristiano Ronaldo. Coach Andrea Pirlo has most of his players available for this match, but he will be missing Paulo Dybala due to injury and Rodrigo Bentancur through suspension. Wojciech Szczesny, Leonardo Bonucci and Giorgio Chiellini should return to the starting eleven after being rested for cup duty in midweek.

As I wrote above, Roma are on the third place with 40 points. The actual form is good, two wins on the last two matches in Serie A. First they beat Spezia with 4:3 in a dramatic clash at Stadio Olimpico. The victory was secured in the finish of the match thanks to injury-time goal by Lorenzo Pellegrini. The Spanish striker Borja Mayoral netted twice in the first half, while the remaining goal was scored by Rick Karsdorp. Last weekend Roma obtained another victory, this time against high-flying Verona. Three first-half goals from Gianluca Mancini, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Borja Mayoral were enough for the 12th victory of the season. However, the atmosphere in the squad is far from ideal. Key man Edin Dzeko has been stripped of Roma’s captaincy after falling out with coach Paulo Fonseca. Dzeko was left off Roma’s squad for a recent Serie A games amid tensions following a 3:0 derby loss to Lazio and a surprising Italian Cup defeat to Spezia. The Bosnian international publicly attacked coach Fonseca for wrong tactic. Lorenzo Pellegrini has been wearing the captain’s armband since Dzeko was benched and he officially become the club latest Roman-born captain after the likes of Francesco Totti and Daniele De Rossi. But Lorenzo Pellegrini is suspended for this match, so it is unclear who will be the captain here. For this match Fonseca has injury concerns too, as Chris Smalling will be sidelined for a couple of weeks. Federico Fazio and Nicolo Zaniolo are also sidelined. It is expected Dzeko to be included in the squad, but should start from the bench.

Juventus vs Roma Prediction:


Juventus should win the match. The key reason for my pick is connect with Fonseca. He has problem with derbies played away from home. So far Roma visited Atalanta, Napoli and Lazio and lost all of them. Overall, Roma are yet to win against any of the top eight in the table. The bad atmosphere in the squad following the row between Fonseca and Dzeko is also a reason for my pick.
