ROM vs FIO Dream11 Tips for AS Roma vs Fiorentina Serie A 1 November

ROM vs FIO Dream11: Roma take on Fiorentina in the Stadio Olimpico, in the 6th round of the Serie A. Roma had a good start to the season and haven’t lost a game all season except for the 3-0 defeat to Hellas Verona that ended in a 0-0 draw but Roma were later handed a loss as they had fielded an ineligible player. They even held league leaders, AC Milan, to a draw and fought well to score a late goal. Fiorentina, on the other hand, had a poor start to the season where they lost 2 of their first 3 games. But have since picked themselves up and now have 2 wins and 1 draw from their last 3 games.

ROM vs FIO Prediction, Team News, Injury Report, Starting Lineups

A) AS Roma Team News

Injury Report, Unavailability: Nicolo Zaniolo is a long-term injury and will miss this game. Amadou Diawara continues his quarantine and will be unavailable for selection.

Doubtful starters: Davide Santon and Javier Pastore are doubtful and it is unlikely that Paulo Fonseca will rush them back into the team.

Expected changes: In Davide Santon’s absence, Rick Karsdorp should continue to feature. Fonseca played a slightly weakened team against CSKA-Sofia and most of the players who faced AC Milan should be back. Chris Smalling is fit to start and will fit right into the team for the ROM vs FIO Dream11 Prediction game with Marash Kumbulla making way despite scoring the equalizer against AC Milan. The front-three of Pedro Rodriguez, Henrick Mkhitaryan and Edin Dzeko should keep their places.

ROM Playing 11 (probable):

Antonio Mirante (GK)
Gianluca Mancini
Chris Smalling
Roger Ibanez
Rick Karsdorp
Lorenzo Pellegrini
Jordan Veretout
Leonardo Spinazzola
Pedro Rodriguez
Henrikh Mkhitaryan
Edin Dzeko

B) Fiorentina Team News

Injury Report, Unavailability: Borja Valero and German Pezzella are the confirmed absentees and will miss out with muscle injuries.

Doubtful: Giuseppe Iachini has no doubtful players for the game.

Expected changes: Even Fiorentina fielded a somewhat weakened lineup against Padova in the Coppa Italia in midweek and most of the first team players should be back in the starting side. Christian Kouame and Franck Ribery are expected to lead the line with Martin Caceres, Nikola Milenkovic and Lucas Martinez starting in a three-man defence. New signing, Jose Maria Callejon, may get a start after scoring against Padova and his experience will be useful against a side like Roma. More trusted names like Cristiano Biraghi and Giacomo Bonaventura, will be definite names on the team sheet.

FIO Playing 11 (probable):

Bartlomiej Dragowski (GK)
Lucas Martinez
Nikola Milenkovic
Martin Caceres
Jose Maria Callejon
Giacomo Bonaventura
Sofyan Amrabat
Gaetano Castrovilli
Cristiano Biraghi
Franck Ribery
Christian Kouame
