Roma vs Fiorentina: Stadium gates open at 18:45 for Serie A clash

Head coach Gian Piero Gasperini held a pre-match press conference ahead of Roma's Serie A clash against Fiorentina on 4 May 2026 (matchday 35). Gasperini confirmed that midfielder Koné and forward Paulo Dybala are both available for selection after recent injury absences. "Koné is recovered and Dybala had already recovered last week. This week went better. They are both available for tomorrow," Gasperini said. He also noted the significance of Corbin Friedkin's presence at the club's training facility, stating: "The presence of Corbin Friedkin is a signal that the ownership is beginning to move not only for what is the end of the season but also for the future." Roma sit fifth in the table and remain in contention for Champions League qualification with four matches remaining. Gasperini acknowledged the season remains alive and stressed the team's focus must remain on securing results, including an upcoming derby match. He addressed questions about Roma's transfer planning timeline, noting the club experienced an unexpected setback but expressing confidence in the ownership's ability to make sound decisions when the moment comes. Gasperini deferred detailed discussion about future plans until after the season concludes, stating supporters deserved clarity on the club's direction once the campaign ends.

Roma will host Fiorentina on Monday, 4 May at 20:45 in Matchday 35 of Serie A at the Stadio Olimpico. The match is crucial for Roma's hopes of securing a Champions League place, with the possibility of moving into fifth position outright, ahead of Como. Approximately 60,000 spectators are expected to attend. The club has announced that stadium gates will open at 18:45. Roma advised supporters to arrive at least 90 minutes before kickoff, particularly given the Monday evening timing, to avoid congestion at the turnstiles. Tickets remain available for purchase. This is the penultimate home game of the season and represents another pivotal fixture in Roma's campaign for European football qualification. Support services will be available from 17:45 onwards at Box 4 on Via Nigra, or fans can contact the AS Roma Contact Center from 09:00 by phone (06.89386000), email, or online form for any assistance needed.

AS Roma face a crucial final four matches of the season as they attempt to secure Champions League qualification. Currently three points behind Juventus with four games remaining, Roma must win their remaining fixtures while also hoping Juventus slip up. Head coach Gasperini's side face Fiorentina, Parma, a derby against Lazio, and a trip to already-relegated Verona to complete their campaign. The challenge comes after recent seasons saw inconsistent final-game performances cost Roma dearly. The last time Roma won their final four matches was in 2020 under Fonseca, though those victories came in late July and early August following the Covid-enforced league restart. Former manager Ranieri came close last season with three wins from four, but a defeat to Atalanta ultimately proved decisive in Roma missing out on Champions League football. A perfect run-in remains the only viable path to European football, though the upcoming fixtures present genuine difficulties despite Verona's relegation.
