Fiorentina vs Roma: Predictions , Preview, Lineups, H2h for October 5, 2025

Fiorentina will take on Roma in a key Serie A matchup on Sunday, October 5, at 15:00 Central European Time. Here’s a look at what to expect from the game.

Fiorentina vs Roma: match preview

Fiorentina has entered the UEFA Conference League, recently starting their European campaign with a 2-0 win over Sigma Olomouc. However, their Serie A performance has been poor. They drew 1-1 with Cagliari in their first match, followed by goalless draws against Torino and Pisa. They also faced defeats against Napoli (1-3) and Como (1-2). Currently, they sit 16th in the standings, having earned just three points without a win this season.

Roma had a turbulent season last year, switching managers three times before finding some stability under Claudio Ranieri, and now they are guided by Gasperini. This season, Roma has begun well, losing only to Torino (0-1) while winning the other four matches. They have collected 12 points, currently tied with Napoli and Milan at the top. In their last match, Roma lost narrowly to Lille (0-1) and missed three penalty opportunities.
