Preview: Roma vs. Fiorentina

Roma vs. Fiorentina

Roma will be aiming to stop a run of four consecutive league draws when they entertain Fiorentina on Sunday.

The Giallorossi have stumbled recently after winning their first 10 matches to set a new Serie A record.

Rudi Garcia's side are now six points behind leaders Juventus in the table, although they have yet to taste defeat.

Their opponents, Fiorentina, are pushing hard to close the gap on Napoli in third and beat Hellas Verona 4-3 in their last league match to climb to fifth.

The visitors are also second in the form table after picking up 12 points from six matches.

Francesco Totti is back in training for the hosts and could play some part on Sunday.

Fiorentina coach Vincenzo Montella could welcome back Alberto Aquilani in midfield, while Mario Gomez is hopeful of making a return to the bench.
