Roma will be looking to bounce back from their weekend nightmare against Napoli when they host 10th-placed Fiorentina tomorrow evening.
Roma go into the game on the back of successive defeats either side of the international break in Serie A, and after losing 7-1 to La Viola in the most recent meeting between the two sides, the optimism isn't too high ahead of Wednesday night's encounter. The Giallorossi defence has been all over the place recently, and no opponent has exploited that better than Fiorentina did in their January Coppa Italia clash. Roma struggled to cope with the pace of Federico Chiesa on that day, but La Viola might have to manage without him tomorrow, as the winger has been sidelined with a groin problem. He is back in the squad, but unlikely to start. It will no doubt be a relief for Roma's makeshift backline, which will not include the suspended Kostas Manolas. Antonio Mirante could replace Robin Olsen in goal after the Swede's latest poor performance for Roma. Boss Claudio Ranieri admitted he would have to wait until after training to make a decision over who will occupy the position - a response in stark contrast to his claims before the Napoli game that Olsen is the side's number one. The game gets underway at 8pm UK time and will be available to view on Premier Sports 2.
