Roma ended last season as the form side, winning their last five games as they finished third and 14 points behind champions Inter Milan.

Gian Piero Gasperini will be aiming to build on a positive first season as manager, and the club have made several eye-catching signings, including Santiago Castro, Donyell Malen and Rodrigo Mora.

As for Fiorentina, they endured their worst season in seven years as they slumped to a 15th-placed finish, sitting just eight points above the relegation zone.

I Viola have spent well over €100million on fresh talent to arm new manager Fabio Grosso, who is expected to make vast progress on last season's failure.

Roma vs. Fiorentina prediction

A new-look Fiorentina side under Fabio Grosso should cause Roma problems, but I think Gasperini's side will enjoy another stellar season and will edge this by a goal.
