The Serie A clash pits an in‑form Roma side that has netted at least two goals in three of its last five games against a Fiorentina team that has shown they can both score and keep clean sheets. With both clubs delivering decisive results recently, the match is set to be a decisive test of attacking intent.

Robbo's Verdict

Strong
Over 2.5 goals Won Solid lean Strong · Slight edge

The model assigns a 50.6% probability to the over, edging the under, which reflects the goal‑rich form of both teams and the 18‑goal total across their last five meetings.

Show the maths
Both clubs have an expected‑goals value of 1.35, meaning the model expects each side to score roughly one to two goals. Adding those figures gives a combined forecast of 2.7 goals, which sits above the 2.5 threshold. The model’s over‑2.5 probability of 50.6% versus 49.4% for under reflects this slight surplus, translating into a modest but clear advantage for the over pick.
Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score
Both Teams to Score — Yes Lost 54.9% model probability

With AS Roma averaging 1.35 expected goals and Fiorentina averaging 1.35, the model gives a 54.9% chance both teams find the net, ahead of the 45.1% it gives to at least one side being kept out.

Show the maths
BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (AS Roma 1.35, Fiorentina 1.35) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 54.9% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 45.1% where at least one side is shut out.
Pick 3 · Total Goals
Over 2.5 Goals Won 50.6% model probability

Combined expected goals of 2.7 (AS Roma 1.35 + Fiorentina 1.35) points to an open game, with the model giving Over 2.5 Goals a 50.6% chance against 49.4% for Under.

Show the maths
Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (AS Roma 1.35 + Fiorentina 1.35 = 2.7 combined): 50.6% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 49.4% finishing with 2 or fewer.
Match Result Model

Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has AS Roma at 37.1%, the draw at 25.8%, and Fiorentina at 37.1% to win.

Most Likely Scoreline

The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-1 at 12.2% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.
