AS Roma vs Fiorentina prediction 04.05.2026 | Serie A

After eight years, AS Roma could return to the Champions League. They are three points behind the desired positions and need the best possible form in the coming weeks. AS Roma picked up an encouraging seven points in the last three matches. In the previous game, they won 2-0 on the road against Bologna. The guests ended with an impressive xG of 2.13, compared to the hosts' 0.50, so anything other than AS Roma's victory would feel pretty unfair. Now, Gian Piero Gasperini's team will focus on Fiorentina in another must-win tie.

AS Roma's head coach, Gian Piero Gasperini, was optimistic about his team's chances for the Champions League appearance. He said, "We have to believe we can win every match. We're getting important players back, and in this way, we can produce first halves like the one today. In the second half, we struggled a little again, and we need to improve." 

Neil El Aynaoui received his fifth yellow card in the previous round and will serve a suspension on Monday. AS Roma will also be without injured Artem Dovbyk, Evan Ferguson, and Lorenzo Pellegrini.

Although Fiorentina spent a large portion of the season in the relegation zone, the team from Florence will soon secure another year in Serie A. They are nine points ahead of the drop zone, and with only four games left, Paolo Vanoli's team shouldn't have any concerns. Also, Fiorentina's form was impressive for almost two months, as they lost only once in the last 11 matches. In the previous match, they played 0-0 at home against Sassuolo. The hosts dominated and had numerous good chances to score, but their inefficiency cost them two points that time.

Although Fiorentina didn't win, Fiorentina's head coach, Paolo Vanoli, was satisfied with his team's performance against Sassuolo. He said, "It was a lack of determination and sharpness in front of the goal. It has nothing to do with us lacking a striker today. (Albert) Gudmundsson executed the role he was assigned very well. We didn't capitalize on the chances we got, but we still put in a very good performance against a team that is playing very well."

Niccolo Fortini, Robin Gosens, Moise Kean, Tariq Lamptey, and Fabiano Parisi are unavailable for the trip to Rome, while Luis Balbo is questionable.
