Roma and Fiorentina ended the Serie A Week 15 game with a draw on Sunday 10 December 2023 at the Olimpico di Roma Stadium in Rome, Italy. Romelu Lukaku immediately opens the score. The first 45 minutes end without any particular or further emotion, but in the second half the match takes on a completely different character; first, in the 65th minute, Zalewski remedied the second penalty which would later prove decisive, as taking advantage of the numerical superiority, in the 66th minute, Fiorentina equalized the score with a decisive twist from Lucas Martinez Quarta on Kouamé’s cross. A match with tense nerves follows, and in the 87th minute, the second blow arrives for Mourinho, who also loses his center-forward Lukaku due to a hard tackle against Kouamé due to an expulsion.
Mourinho and Vincenzo Italiano men who will be involved in the 16th matchday respectively away, guests of Bologna, and at home against Verona.

✅ Stats before the game: Roma have lost two of their last three Serie A matches (1W) against Fiorentina, with José Mourinho at the helm – as many defeats as those collected by the Giallorossi in the previous 19 (14W, 3D) in the competition against Viola – the last coach of the Romans to have suffered three defeats against the Tuscans in the top tournament was Helenio Herrera (five out of nine), between 1968 and 1972. Roma lost their last match against Fiorentina and could suffer two consecutive defeats against Viola in Serie A for the first time since April 2012, with Luis Enrique on the bench. Fiorentina have kept a clean sheet at Roma only once in their last 30 Serie A away games: on 7 April 2018, when they won 2-0, with goals from Benassi and Simeone; Viola conceded 67 goals in the half, for an average of 2.2 per game. Roma have gained 19 points in the last eight days of the championship, the result of six wins and a draw (1P): only Inter and Juventus have done better in the period, with 20 points each since the start of the 7th day of this Serie A .
Roma have won their last five home games in Serie A; the last time the Giallorossi had a longer series of consecutive home wins with the same coach in the top tournament dates back to the streak of 15 in a row recorded under Luciano Spalletti between 2016 and 2017.
