Italian Serie A
2010-02-07 - Fiorentina vs A.S Roma
A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser
Analysis:No doubt the match of the week as A.S Roma heads to Stadio Franchi in superb form with their last defeat in all competition coming way back on October 28 away to Udinese. Claudio Ranieri has worked magic with the team no doubt.
Roma have had the likes of Daniele De Rossi and Francesco Totti and that has helped them considerably. They are level on points with Milan in third spot with 41 points and will be eager to challenge Inter Milan as well.
Fiorentina on the other hand has been poor in recent weeks as they have failed to win their last three games. The home side have had consecutive defeats to Bologna and Palermo and a draw away to Cagliari. They currently sit in 11th place, with the gap to fourth now seven points. A win over Ranieri’s men could see a reverse in fortunes but the club’s supporters must now be worrying over the team’s prospects of Champions League spot this season.
The home side will be missing Adrian Mutu due to his suspension. New centre-back Felipe is also ruled out due to suspension but just for one match. Also Creative playmaker Cristiano Zanetti and Danish defender Per Kroldrup miss the game through injury.
Luca Toni is not expected to make his comeback until towards the end of the month due to the injury due to the injury suffered against Juventus. Former Inter defender and one-time Viola target Nicola Burdisso is ruled out through suspension.
Last season’s encounter saw Fiorentina beat Roma thanks to strikes from Juan Vargas and Massimo Gobbi either side of an Alberto Gilardino double. Brazilian beast Julio Baptista scored a consolation for Roma.
Go for this match to end in a draw.
Cheers and good luck,
