AS Roma VS Fiorentina

Gasperini is set to make his official Serie A debut with Roma. The absence of captain Pellegrini and midfielder B will damage the team's midfield organization. Roma plays a 3 - 4 - 2 - 1 formation with high - pressing tactics. Their home at the Olympic Stadium is a stronghold, as they thrashed the opponent 4 - 0 at home last season. However, their form was inconsistent in the preseason, and there are concerns about the defensive line's coordination. Several new signings in the summer transfer window are expected to make their debuts. As for Fiorentina, they are now managed by Grossi. Left - back Parisi is out due to injury. The club made significant signings in the summer window, with De Gea guarding the goal. They play a 4 - 3 - 3 formation, and both their offense and defense have been strengthened. They showed good performance against strong teams in the friendlies, but there are issues with the integration of the numerous new players. In head - to - head encounters, Roma has the upper hand at home. In this first round of Serie A, both teams have new managers and are eager to start the season with a win. The midfield battle will likely determine the outcome of the game.
