Roma vs Fiorentina closes the Serie A weekend at a packed Stadio Olimpico on Monday, kicking off at 7.45pm (UK time), with the hosts fancied to make their strong home record count.
Gian Piero Gasperini’s side finished third last season on the back of a miserly defence and welcome a Fiorentina side who ended the campaign in mid-table. Anthony Eadson has the best bets, a score prediction and the head-to-head record below.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson is with the hosts, whose defensive strength and home form make them a solid opening-night selection.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Roma to win | 8/15 | Roma impressed under Gian Piero Gasperini last season, finishing fifth in Serie A, while their 4-0 win over Fiorentina in May showed the gulf between these sides. Fiorentina have added plenty of new faces under Fabio Grosso and opened their competitive campaign with a 4-1 Coppa Italia win, but Roma should have enough quality and structure to control this at the Stadio Olimpico. With Paulo Dybala fit and Gasperini targeting another strong campaign, back Roma to edge a competitive opener by a goal. |
| Correct Score Roma 1-0 | 7/1 | Roma’s defensive structure should make this a cagey contest at the Olimpico, with Fiorentina unlikely to find much joy against Gasperini’s side. Roma have also kept this fixture tight at home in recent seasons, including a 1-0 victory in May 2025, before winning the reverse fixture 2-1 last October. With Roma priced at short odds in the match-winner market, the 1-0 correct score offers more appeal at 7/1 with bet365. |

How Roma go into the game
Roma finished third last season on 73 points, driven by the meanest defence in the division alongside the champions. The Stadio Olimpico is a cauldron on nights like this and they will start as clear favourites.
Their strength lies in keeping things tight and taking their chances, and they have won the last two home meetings with Fiorentina. Another controlled, professional display is expected.
How Fiorentina go into the game
Fiorentina ended last season 15th on 42 points, an underwhelming campaign that never really caught fire. They remain capable of hurting good sides but were too inconsistent for much of the year.
Away at Roma is a stern test to open the season, and they have struggled on their recent visits to the capital. They will need a much-improved defensive display to take anything home.
