Roma in Florence to stay joint top

Fiorentina looking for their first victory of the season against a Roma side in excellent form

Fiorentina host Roma at the Franchi in a hugely important match. Still without a win this season, the Viola are aiming for three points against one of the three sides currently leading the division, hoping to breathe life into a campaign that’s got off to a disappointing start. The Giallorossi, meanwhile, arrive full of confidence, buoyed by wins against Lazio and Verona that have taken them to the summit.

HEAD-TO-HEAD

The official previous meetings between the two teams in Florence are 96 with a record of 41 Fiorentina wins, 36 draws (last 1-1, in Serie A 2018/19) and 19 Roma victories. Fiorentina has scored in 13 consecutive home matches against the giallorossi (Roma), for a total of 27 goals. The last time Roma kept a clean sheet in Florence dates back to April 19, 2014, a giallorossi victory 1-0 in Serie A (goal from Nainggolan).

DID YOU KNOW?

On June 30, 1989, Fiorentina-Roma was a playoff to enter the UEFA Cup (today's Europa League) for the following year: on the neutral ground of Perugia the viola (Fiorentina) won 1-0 with the decisive goal from ex-player Roberto Pruzzo; on the Tuscan (Fiorentina) bench another ex-giallorosso (Roma), Sven Goran Eriksson. Roma, with only one goal conceded, is the best defense in Serie A 2025/26. The giallorossi haven't conceded goals yet in the first half: the only goal conceded (from Simeone in Roma- Torino) came in the second half. Roma top of Serie A after 5 matchdays: it hadn't happened since 2014/15. In that season the giallorossi (Roma) had a perfect score, like Juventus.

COACHES and PLAYERS

28 official meetings between Stefano Pioli and Gian Piero Gasperini: 11 wins for the viola (Fiorentina) manager, 7 draws and 9 victories for the giallorosso (Roma) manager. Among these 27 previous meetings stands out an Inter-Atalanta 7-1 in March 2017 in Serie A, still today Gasperini's heaviest defeat since he's been managing professional clubs. Matias Soulè scored his second Serie A goal, the first with Frosinone's shirt, against Fiorentina. It was September 28, 2023: Frosinone-Fiorentina 1-1.
