ROM vs FIO Dream11 Team Prediction Tips for Roma vs Fiorentina Serie A Fixtures August 23

ROM vs FIO Dream11: Roma will be up against Fiorentina for the first game of the new season in Serie A, as both sides look to start off with a bang.

Meanwhile, Fiorentina were at the 13th spot with 40 points and will be keen on climbing higher up the points table.

Nonetheless, the upcoming contest promises to be an intriguing affair.
