&lt;p&gt;Roma and Fiorentina, who are separated by a single point, are set to meet in an 18:00 CEST kick-off at the Olimpico. The Giallorossi haven’t lost in 18 matches, winning 13 – including against Inter last time out – and drawing five. Now, they want to propel themselves into the top four.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;However, the Viola also want three points and could record a third consecutive victory after beating Cagliari and Empoli. A win would see them move above Roma and give them real momentum heading into the final few fixtures.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HEAD-TO-HEAD&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Roma are the opponent against which Fiorentina have drawn the most games in their Serie A history (62 in 171 matches), with 58 Giallorossi wins and 51 for the Viola. Indeed, against no other team have Roma drawn more matches than against the Toscani in the top-flight (62, level with Lazio).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Following their 5-1 win in the reverse fixture in October, Fiorentina could win both Serie A matches against Roma for only the second time in the last 60 years, previously doing so in 2011-12.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fiorentina are unbeaten in their last four league matches against Roma (W2 D2); the last time the Viola went on a longer such streak against the Giallorossi in Serie A was between 1975 and 1979 (run of nine).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Roma have only lost three of their last 50 Serie A home games (W31 D16) against Fiorentina: the Viola`s last away league win against the Giallorossi was April 2018 (2-0 thanks to goals from Marco Benassi and Giovanni Simeone); since then, four wins for the Capitolini and two draws.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DID YOU KNOW?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Roma are the team with the longest ongoing unbeaten streak in the big five European leagues (18 games - W13 D5); the Giallorossi are unbeaten in their last 18 games in a single Serie A season for the first time since between November 2009 and April 2010 (24 in that case under Claudio Ranieri).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Roma have picked up the most points in 2025 in the big five European leagues (40 in 16 games - W12 D4); the Giallorossi also have conceded the fewest goals in that period (8) and are the only team to have more clean sheets (9) than goals conceded (8).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fiorentina are unbeaten in their last six league games (W4 D2); the Viola`s last Serie A defeat was back in March against Napoli (1-2). Furthermore, the Toscani could win three matches in a row in the top-flight for the first time since between January and February.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Roma and Fiorentina are two of the three teams, alongside Atalanta, to have scored the most goals (9 each) from outside the box in Serie A this season; while no side has conceded fewer goals than the Giallorossi from outside the box (2, level with Juventus).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PLAYERS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Matías Soulé has scored five goals in Serie A this season, all on the road: his last goal in a home league game was back in April 2024 for Frosinone against Salernitana. With two goals and one assist in his last three Serie A appearances, Soulé could be directly involved in at least one goal in four successive matches for the first time in the top-flight.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Moise Kean has scored three goals against Roma in Serie A (including his first multiple goals for Fiorentina in the competition, a brace in October): only against Hellas Verona has he netted more goals (5) in the top-flight against an opponent.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DISCIPLINE&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Suspended: Ranieri (Fiorentina)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cautioned: Paredes, Pellegrini (Roma); Fagioli, Folorunsho, Mari, Beltran (Fiorentina)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;REFEREE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;CHIFFI (PRETI – DI GIOIA) IV: ARENA, VAR: MAZZOLENI, AVAR: PEZZUTO&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;UPCOMING MATCHES IN SERIE A&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Atalanta-Roma (Monday 12 May 20.45 CEST)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Venezia-Fiorentina (Monday 12 May 18.30 CEST)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Photo Getty Images)&lt;/p&gt;
