"Stefano Pioli's return to Florence has yet to deliver, with just three points collected from five matches. Last weekend's Tuscan derby against newly promoted Pisa ended in further frustration, as Fiorentina were held to a goalless draw. Pioli's only successes so far have come in the Conference League - a competition in which the Viola have made a habit of deep runs without claiming the silverware."
"Still, Fiorentina return to domestic action with grim history looming: they last failed to win any of their first six Serie A fixtures back in 1977. The Stadio Franchi has not been a happy home either, with no league points earned there this season. One glimmer of encouragement is their recent head-to-head record - three wins from their last four home meetings with Roma."
Fiorentina remain without a Serie A victory after five matches, collecting three points overall and drawing 0-0 with Pisa in the Tuscan derby. Stefano Pioli has found success only in the Conference League, where Fiorentina beat Polissya Zhytomyr and Sigma Olomouc 2-0 via Roberto Piccoli and Cher Ndour. Home form is poor with no league points at Stadio Franchi this season and a historical risk of failing to win the first six fixtures for the first time since 1977. Roma sit higher in the table and are targeting top spot as they travel to Florence.
