Fiorentina vs AS Roma Match Preview
Fiorentina have finally managed to pull themselves out of their slump, and while a return of eight points from their last four games is not a staggering achievement, it is enough to make the contest between them and Roma evenly poised.
Both these clubs have proved adept at self-destructing, but Fiorentina's debacles this season have been less erratic. Sinisa Mihajlovic has proven to be a misfit at the helm, but Fiorentina owner Della Valle has persisted with the Serbian.
Roma had beaten Milan before the new year, but they were easily jettisoned by Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League. Roma lost 6-2 on aggregate!
Fiorentina will start Adrian Mutu and Alberto Gilardino in attack, while Roma will go with lone Francesco Totti. Jeremy Menez is now what Totti used to be: the creative fulcrum of the side.
Prediction: Fiorentina 1-1 Roma
