Fiorentina have won 12 Serie A games this season and their last success came against Lazio (2-1) towards the end of last month thanks to second-half efforts from Michael Kayode and Giacomo Bonaventura. Although Viola were held to a goalless league-draw away to Torino in their next outing, Vincenzo Italiano’s men bounced back with a thrilling Conference League win over Maccabi Haifa last time out. M’Bala Nzola’s second-minute opener and second-half efforts from Lucas Beltra (53′) and Rolando Mandragora(73′) made the score 3-3, before Antonin Barak’s 93rd-minute winner gave Viola the advantage in the two-legged round of 16 tie of Europe’s third tier club competition. Meanwhile, Fiorentina have won six of their last eight league games at Stadio Artemio Franchi, with their last two home-games against Lazio and Frosinone ending in victories with an overall scoreline of 7-2.
Roma, on the other hand, put four goals past Brighton without reply on Thursday to keep foot firmly in the quarter-finals of the Europa League. Paulo Dybala, Romelu Lukaku, Gianluca Mancini and Bryan Cristante netted for the Little Cubs at Stadio Olimpico last time out. Prior to that, the Giallorossi thrashed Monza 4-1 in the Serie A last week. It was their 14th top flight victory of the season and the result helped Daniele de Rossi’s side to climb to the European place. Moreover, Wolves are undefeated in their last four away-games in all competitions, recording four wins in the process.
Fiorentina probable starting lineup: Terracciano, Kayode, Milenkovic, Martinez Quarta, Biraghi, Duncan, Arthur, Gonzalez, Bonaventura, Sottil, Belotti
