Roma

Starting with the hosts, securing a stellar bronze medal finish among Italy’s elite last season, Roma have rightfully received a string of plaudits from across the continent. Clinching a lucrative Champions League ticket, Gian Piero Gasperini’s men will be looking to carry on from where they left off prior to the summer interval. Signing off the 2025/26 campaign with a 2-0 victory away at Verona on May 24th, the former Atalanta boss will be calling on his squad to make an immediate statement at the Stadio Olimpico on Monday night. In fact, Roma won all of their final five consecutive Serie A appearances last season by an aggregate score of 13-2. Likewise, the Wolves also registered 19 points from their final seven top-flight showdowns.

Still sidelined with a long-term thigh issue and not making a single appearance across any competition since the start of April, Roma will once again be without the services of Italian international Lorenzo Pellegrini on Monday night.

Making his move from Premier League outfit Aston Villa a permanent switch this summer, Donyell Malen will spearhead Roma’s charge in the final third. Putting pen to paper on a new deal at the Stadio Olimpico last month, Argentina superstar Paulo Dybala will feature here.

Fiorentina

As for the visitors, while Fiorentina might have eventually retained their Serie A status with time to spare last season, the Viola rightfully come under a huge amount of scrutiny. Spending the majority of the 2025/26 campaign scrapping it out at the foot of the table, Fabio Grosso’s side are desperately searching for some essential stability this time around. However, mustering just a sole win from any of their final six Serie A appearances prior to the summer interval, Fiorentina will be bracing themselves for a stern examination when they travel to the Stadio Olimpico on Monday night. In fact, the Tuscany-based outfit slumped to a nightmare 4-0 drumming when they last met Roma for a top-flight showdown back on May 4th.

Both still recovering from respective injury issues, Fiorentina will travel to Rome on Monday night without the duo of Riccardo Sottil and former Empoli youngster Fabiano Parisi.

While attacking talisman Moise Kean might still be heavily linked with a move away from Tuscany over the next week, the Italian international will spearhead Fiorentina’s charge. Completing a loan switch from Tottenham this summer, Radu Dragusin will start at the heart of Grosso’s defence.

Roma vs Fiorentina Key Factors to Consider

  • When Roma and Fiorentina last met for a Serie A showdown back on May 4th, Monday’s hosts cruised their way to a thumping 4-0 victory at the Stadio Olimpico.
