Fiorentina – Roma, Coppa Italia Prediction

This year’s Coppa Italia quarter-finals are more than exciting. Excluding Sampdoria, who got kicked out of Milan, these are the other top 9 teams in the Italian Serie A. Here Fiorentina, who are the kings of the draws this season, face the hesitant Roma. Both teams have been involved in the goal shows in their last games. Roma have conceded 5 goals and scored 6 in their last two, while Fiorentina scored 7 and conceded 6 in their last two.

The Violets continue to be reputed to be one of the strongest hosts, despite the losses from Juventus and Parma, which are their only ones at home this season. Fiorentina has recently only experienced strong teams in Coppa Italia, so they are used to playing at the top level. In only 3 of the last 15 home games for the Cup Fiorentina didn’t score a goal.

Roma are in good shape with 4 wins and 1 draw in the last 5 games, but have only two clean sheets in the last 16, one of which was against Vitus Entella in the last round of the Cup, so their defense will hardly endure against the fierce attackers of Fiorentina. In the form they are in, as well as their attacking approach, we expect goals from these two teams. In the last match between them a few months ago at this stadium we saw a score of 1-1, so our prediction is BTTS at 1.64
