Serie A returns to the fold with another set of matches this weekend as Fiorentina take on Daniele De Rossi's AS Roma side in an important clash at the Stadio Artemio Franchi on Sunday.
Fiorentina vs AS Roma Preview
AS Roma are currently in fifth place in the Serie A standings and have been in impressive form in recent weeks. The away side eased past Brighton & Hove Albion by a comfortable 4-0 scoreline in the Europa League this week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
Fiorentina, on the other hand, are in eighth place in the league table at the moment and have been inconsistent so far this season. La Viola edged Maccabi Haifa to a narrow 4-3 victory in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.

Fiorentina vs AS Roma Prediction
AS Roma have been a resurgent force under Daniele De Rossi and are in excellent form at the moment. Paulo Dybala and Romelu Lukaku found the back of the net against Brighton this week and will look to replicate the feat on Sunday.
