Roma’s quest for Champions League football intensifies as they face a crucial match against Fiorentina on May 4, 2026, at the Stadio Olimpico. Roma is vying for a top-four finish in Serie A, while Fiorentina seeks to confirm their safety in the league.
Roma currently holds 61 points and trails Juventus by four points. They have not lost a league match at home since November, boasting an impressive record at the Olimpico. In contrast, Fiorentina is nine points above the drop zone and has extended their unbeaten streak to seven league matches.
Key facts:
- Roma have won the last two clashes against Fiorentina.
- Donyell Malen has scored 11 goals in his first 14 Serie A appearances for Roma.
- Fiorentina’s last victory against Roma in this fixture dates back to 2018.
Gian Piero Gasperini manages Roma, while Paolo Vanoli leads Fiorentina. Roma’s last match resulted in a 2-0 victory against Bologna. Meanwhile, Fiorentina played to a goalless draw against Sassuolo.
Failure is not an option for Roma if they’re to close the gap on the top four. The team has only lost three of their last 51 league meetings with Fiorentina in Rome. This statistic adds pressure on Fiorentina, who have taken just two points from their last seven visits to the Olimpico.
The upcoming match holds significant implications for both teams. Victory could solidify Roma’s chances of Champions League qualification and help Fiorentina secure their place in Serie A for another season.
