Napoli @2.05

Analysis:​

Torino and Napoli are going to play for Italian Serie A Round 36 at Stadio Olimpico di Torino on weekend.

Torino
They rank tenth at the table of the League, with 12 points away from sixth. It is unlikely for them to qualify for European games this season. In the last game, they defeat Empoli 1-3, which have been unbeaten for six matches.

Napoli
They are sitting in the third place at the table of the League, with more than ten points ahead of the fifth so they are stress-free at present. They are good at offence, with 67 scoring goals this season in total.

Fiorentina vs Roma Preview:

Possible starting lineups:

Fiorentina:
Terracciano; Odriozola, Milenkovic, Igor, Biraghi; Bonaventura, Torreira, Duncan; Gonzalez, Cabral, Saponara

Roma:
Patricio; Mancini, Smalling, Kumbulla; Maitland-Niles, Cristante, Veretout, Vina; Pellegrini; Afena-Gyan, Abraham

Fiorentina welcome Roma to Stadio Artemio Franchi in the last match of the round. Both teams are fighting for European spot and they are separated by only three points, with three games left to play. Fiorentina are in awful form, they have suffered three defeats in a row. The Viola first suffered a narrow 2:1 loss at Salernitana. It was unexpected, but very painful defeat from relegation-candidates. It was much worse in the following week as they lost 4:0 to Udinese. Worst of all, the defeat came at home. Finally, Fiorentina lost to leaders AC Milan at San Siro in the last round. Coach Vincenzo Italiano is feeling pressure, although his position is still safe. He has the majority of his players available, but Gaetano Castrovilli is out injured. In the match against Venezia in April, the Viola‘s number 10 suffered a fracture to his external meniscus, the cruciate ligament and the collateral ligament. Castrovilli, who was having a great season with Fiorentina, was dreaming of national team call-up. The severe injury have suddenly put a halt to the growth path that was leading El Castro towards constant improvement. Just to mention, the Viola lost all three matches without him and it is clear his absence is a huge handicap. Alfred Duncan or Youssef Maleh will try to replace him, but it won't be easy at all.

Roma are sixth on the table, three points adrift of city-rivals Lazio. The actual form could be rated as poor, they are winless on the last three matches in Serie A. However, the Giallorossi were very successful in Europa. They secured the final of the Conference League after recording an 1:0 home victory over Leicester City. Tammy Abraham was the hero after scoring the lone goal. It was an emotional night for Jose Mourinho, who shed happy tears after the victory. When asked about his emotional on-field moment, the Portuguese coach said he shed tears because he knows what the win means to the fans and the club. The atmosphere in the squad is excellent following the victory, while the players confidence is higher. Mourinho will probably make some changes to the starting eleven from Thursday as some players could be tired. That means Marash Kumbulla, Matias Vina and Jordan Veretout are expected to play here. Interesting to be mentioned, Veretout is a former Fiorentina player who made 69 Serie A appearances for Viola. The Frenchman is likely to replace Sergio Oliveira in midfield, while Ainsley Maitland-Niles could feature at right-back position. Nicolo Zaniolo, meanwhile, could be replaced with young Felix Afena-Gyan, The biggest question is about Abraham - will he play or maybe need a rest. He is the Giallorossi top scorer with 15 goals in Serie A.

Fiorentina vs Roma Prediction:

Fiorentina are out of form, they have three defeats on the last three matches. However, the Viola should not be underestimated, particularly when play at home. They have the third-best home record in Serie A this season, having accumulated 35 points from 17 matches. Only two first-placed teams Milan and Inter are better. Roma had a difficult match on Thursday and the players are tired. Mourinho will probably rotate the players and Fiorentina could take advantage in this match.
