Roma vs Fiorentina: teamsheets, tickets, TV and streaming information

Roma supporters will be able to travel to Como for the Serie A match on Sunday 11 October at 12:30 at Stadio Sinigaglia after months of away-end restrictions. The visiting section will be open to giallorossi fans from any region, with only an AS Roma Fidelity Card required for entry. The decision marks a significant easing of travel limitations that have affected Roma's away support in recent months. Ticket sales for the away section begin on Friday 2 October at 12:00 and close at 19:00 on 10 October, or earlier if allocation runs out. Como have set the price at €25 per ticket, inclusive of booking fees and service charges. The reopening comes at an important moment in the season, as Gian Piero Gasperini's squad resumes league action and will once again have a fully giallorosso-coloured away section in attendance—a return to normality after the restrictions that have characterised several away fixtures over recent months.

Roma supporters have been cleared to attend away matches after a ban lasting nearly nine months. The visiting section will be open for the first time at Como on Sunday, 11 October at the Sinigaglia stadium, ending a lengthy period of restrictions on travelling fans. The ban began on 18 January following clashes on the motorway between Roma supporters and Fiorentina fans after Roma's 2–0 away win at Torino. The restrictions were initially set to run until the end of the 2025–26 season but were extended through the first two away fixtures of the current campaign—at Lecce on 31 August and at Torino on 14 September. The lifting of the ban allows Roma fans to return to support Gasperini's squad away from the Olimpico under normal conditions, with no constraints affecting access to the away section. The Como fixture will mark the first opportunity for Roma's travelling support to resume their presence at external matches since January. Under the previous restrictions, the away section operated with limitations at each successive fixture, creating months of absence for fans who had followed the club throughout the 2025–26 season and into the early stages of the current campaign.

Former striker David Di Michele has praised Roma's prospects this season, saying the club can fight for the Serie A title regardless of their upcoming result against Como. Speaking to TMW, Di Michele highlighted the importance of backing Gasperini both on the pitch and in the transfer market. "The fundamental thing has been giving confidence to Gasperini in the field, but also in managing the market. Today Roma has a much broader squad and has almost all departments with dual roles. Credit also goes to the sporting results, because with the Champions League everything became easier," he said. Di Michele believes Roma remain contenders for the Scudetto independently of individual fixtures. However, he acknowledged that victory against Como would provide a significant confidence boost. "I remain of the idea that regardless of the result Roma remain in the fight for the title. Of course, winning that match would give such a boost of confidence, if not to win the Scudetto then at least to give trouble to Inter, who remain the team to beat. Como is slightly further behind, because they have a younger squad and because it won't be easy to manage the double commitment," he explained. Asked whether the match carries more weight for Como than Roma, Di Michele rated Como's chances at 55 per cent to Roma's 45 per cent. "Como must also cultivate ambitions. They have spent a lot over the last two years and today they can no longer hide," he concluded.

Radio studios across Rome aired debate on stadium plans, player valuations and squad rotation as Roma prepare for the weekend's fixture. Piero Torri of Manà Manà Sport said today could bring final approval for Roma's new stadium project. He outlined the financial case: "With the stadium, there would be around 50–70 million euros of extra revenue per year, or more if you're good at it. You could increase turnover by 30–40 percent." The gains would come from ending rental payments on the Stadio Olimpico, roughly a million euros annually; roughly one hundred suites yielding 10–20 million yearly; concerts and a museum. Torri cautioned on ticket pricing: "Apart from the Curva Sud, the rest of the stadium will cost money, and it will cost a lot." On the pitch, Gianluca Piacentini of Rete Sport defended Roma's decision to block Paulo Dybala and Nahuel Molina from travelling to attend Lionel Messi's farewell match with Argentina. With a Serie A fixture scheduled for Sunday, Piacentini said: "Messi, go and greet him when you're on holiday." He emphasized that ownership must set the terms with players: "The owner pays you and you serve here." Fabio Petruzzi countered that honouring invitations from great players was a professional honour, though he acknowledged the fixture clash made avoidance reasonable. Nando Orsi of Radio Radio warned that Mile Svilar will attract serious interest. "Svilar is now a finished goalkeeper with great qualities who will bring points to Roma. He's one of the best keepers in this league, and Roma must hold him tight because soon someone will arrive with 50–60 million." On transfers, Simone Tiribocchi discussed potential January signings, naming Kvernadze as a candidate but cautioning that Gasperini's system demands midfielders who move infield rather than stay wide. He praised Matías Soulé as a quality operator who gives everything when called upon. Roberto Pruzzo noted Emanuele Lulli impressed in a recent friendly in England and merits consideration as a squad alternative. Mario Corsi flagged wing depth as Roma's primary gap, saying external quality would unlock the scudetto. Riccardo Cotumaccio expressed faith that Roma's moment is near, though he stopped short of naming this season. Lorenzo Pes left open a door for Francesco Totti's potential involvement in Roma's 2027 centenary, despite current coolness in their relationship.

Gian Piero Gasperini is building Roma around a fluid squad model of roughly twenty starting-calibre players, where internal competition remains constant and selection shifts based on form. Konstantinos Koulierakis, Rodrigo Mora and Santiago Castro—costlier than €100 million combined—have accumulated just 323 minutes so far, but retain strategic value in a squad lacking depth for the season's demands. The trio face stiff competition from Roma's in-form performers. Gasperini has prioritised players delivering consistently strong displays: from Mile Svilar in goal to Donyell Malen in attack, and the defensive leaders including Paulo Dybala. The manager is studying Koulierakis, Mora and Castro carefully to find the right moments for insertion. Mora's opportunities depend on competition with Dybala and Matías Soulé, while Castro could complement Malen in a dynamic attack. Koulierakis awaits his opportunity, currently blocked by Leonardo Balerdi's growth and Mario Hermoso's solidity at the back. These represent significant investments reflecting the club's ambition to elevate standards and give Gasperini multiple solutions for a long season filled with commitments.

Mile Svilar holds both Belgian and Serbian passports, yet today he has no national team to call his own. The Roma goalkeeper, now a regular fixture in Italian football's top tier, finds himself trapped by a regulatory paradox born from a decision made in 2021. Svilar rose through Belgium's youth system from Under-15 onwards, but on his father's advice accepted a call-up from Serbia in 2021 and made his senior debut in a friendly against Qatar at Debrecen, entering the match only as a substitute. He believed the friendly nature of the fixture would leave the door open for a future switch back to Belgium. When he later expressed his wish to represent Belgium, however, FIFA intervened. Having completed the entire Belgian youth pathway before choosing Serbia at senior level, the rulebook prevented him from changing federations again. The result: Serbia no longer calls him up, Belgium cannot call him up. So one of Roma's most important players sits out every international break. The timing has never been more acute. Thibaut Courtois recently decided against playing the full Nations League campaign for Belgium, creating a temporary gap in their goalkeeper hierarchy. Under different circumstances, Svilar would have had an enormous opportunity to fight for the position. Instead, he remains at Trigoria. His Roma form has only strengthened. Since Daniele De Rossi promoted him to number one, Svilar has recorded 48 clean sheets, equivalent to 38.4 per cent of the matches he has played. He has developed into a commanding presence through his personality, distribution, and one-on-one reading, and his footwork has improved markedly—attributes that have made him fully compatible with Gian Piero Gasperini's aggressive football. For Roma, the paradox offers a small silver lining: Svilar remains in the capital during international breaks, working with the staff and avoiding travel and fixture fatigue. For the player, though, it remains a painful situation. Two passports, two possible national teams, none available today—all because of a choice made in 2021, when he thought a brief appearance in a friendly would not permanently close a door. That door has stayed firmly shut.

Manu Koné addressed speculation over his Roma future while on international duty with France ahead of a Nations League match against Italy on Friday 2 October at 20:45. Speaking in a press conference before training, the midfielder acknowledged transfer interest during the summer window but confirmed his commitment to the club. "For me some things happened, but I am at Roma, I am focused," Koné said. "What happened has happened. I give 100% for this club, I will give everything to meet expectations, and that is all." Koné joined Roma on loan with an obligation to buy from Borussia Mönchengladbach in August 2024. The midfielder has become a regular fixture in Gian Piero Gasperini's squad this season and reflected on his development since arriving in Italian football at age 23. "Coming to Italy brought maturity to my playing style," he explained. "I became more focused. Tactically I did not have the abilities I have now. I also improved energy management, which made me the player I am today. I was going through a difficult period at Borussia Mönchengladbach (where I played from 2021 to 2024) and Roma sought me out; I am very grateful to them." Koné also discussed his recent performance at defensive midfield for France against Turkey. "A midfielder must be able to play anywhere," he said. "I have already played in that position, several times at my previous clubs, but also at Roma. It is not something that changes much for me; I enjoyed it. It was a fairly complicated match, with different demands, especially in terms of duels, so I think I tried to be up to the situation. I manage my matches based on the squad and I was asked to contribute to a certain style of play. I try to give my best and I am very proud of myself." Teammates Gianluca Mancini and Bryan Cristante, both Roma players, have told him that Friday's match against Italy will be important, and Koné expects France to focus on their own performance rather than their opponents' current difficulties.

Roma radio commentators have weighed in on squad selection for the fixture on 11 October, with particular focus on players on international duty with Argentina. Lorenzo Pes of Teleradiostereo stated that Paulo Dybala and Nahuel Molina did not force their way into the Buenos Aires trip for Lionel Messi's farewell, and there will be no lasting friction from the club's decision to keep them in Rome. Pes added: "The players did not push to be in Buenos Aires for Messi's goodbye. Roma has a delicate and important match on 11 October and the club's statement shows the strength of the ownership." Simone Valdarchi of Radio Manà Manà predicted Gian Piero Gasperini will make tactical adjustments based on the return of Argentina internationals. He suggested Santiago Castro poses no selection problem in attack, as he would not have dislodged Donyell Malen anyway. In defence, Valdarchi expects Mario Hermoso's continued presence at Trigoria, Evan N'Dicka's early return, and the measured workload of Gianluca Mancini to mean Leonardo Balerdi will not start. He forecast the usual competition between Matías Soulé for a forward berth. Pes also reflected on Lorenzo Pellegrini's form, stating: "Pellegrini did not fully meet expectations. His first year under Mourinho went very well, then he stopped a bit. He has not managed to capture people's hearts." Rome's radio coverage underscores the complexity of balancing international commitments with domestic fixture demands.

Bryan Cristante remains Gian Piero Gasperini's fixture in midfield at Roma, continuing a pattern that has defined his tenure across multiple managers. A midfielder often criticised by supporters but consistently deployed by coaches—from Di Francesco, Ranieri, Fonseca, Mourinho, De Rossi and Juric to Gasperini, who praised him as a roaming attacking midfielder during his time at Bergamo—Cristante has again started the season strongly. He scored on Roma's return to the Champions League and delivered positive displays from the opening Serie A fixture, with a standout first-half performance against Inter alongside Manu Koné, where he matched the quality of the Nerazzurri's midfield. Gasperini awaits Cristante's return following back problems that prevented him from answering Italy national team manager Mancini's call-up. The midfielder's durability and physical presence have made him an indispensable shield in midfield across successive regimes, valued for both his structural contribution and reading of the game without the ball. His prominence this season underscores his continued importance to Roma's tactical setup.

Roma's decision to prevent Paulo Dybala and Nahuel Molina from travelling to Argentina for Lionel Messi's farewell celebration has drawn widespread commentary from Italian radio pundits, with most backing the club's position as a demonstration of institutional resolve. Rossomando told Radio Manà Manà Sport that the choice was expected but that Roma's decision to issue an official statement surprised and pleased him. "The Roma has demonstrated itself to be a strong and present society," he said. "It is important to have Dybala at Trigoria during the entire break. Behind this decision I believe there is also Gasperini." The club's resolve comes at a sensitive point in the season, with a match against Como described as important and delicate by radio commentators. Other radio voices offered varied perspectives on the decision. Jacobelli at Radio Radio Mattino stated: "The choice of Roma not to let Dybala and Molina go to Argentina is absolutely understandable. One thing is official commitments, another is celebrations like this one for Messi that could have been organised at another moment in the season." Camelio at Radio Radio pomeriggio characterised it as "a shared choice: by Roma, by the players and by Gasperini," noting that it was unlikely Dybala would have been a starter had he returned Friday evening anyway. Ferrajolo disagreed with the restriction, arguing that "a true professional, when he returns, gives his best," though he added that Roma would "neither win nor lose the championship for this." Squad availability for the upcoming fixture remains fluid. Several commentators discussed potential lineup changes during the international break. Valdarchi suggested Gasperini could rotate the three players who departed with Argentina, noting that Castro's absence posed minimal concern given Donyell Malen's status. In defence, he anticipated Mario Hermoso's presence, Evan N'Dicka's early return and Gianluca Mancini's limited exertion would mean Leonardo Balerdi would not start. Carina highlighted Marten de Roon's potential role during the congested fixture schedule, observing that his athletic condition had improved since arrival and would prove useful.

Rodrigo Mora is set to return to Roma's squad after the international break and will have a chance to revive his season in the trip to Como on 11 October. The Portuguese midfielder has started three matches this season—against Fiorentina, Atalanta and Lecce, where he scored—but has since sat on the bench for three consecutive fixtures against Fenerbahçe, Torino and Inter. Head coach Giampiero Gasperini remains convinced of his potential, describing him as "an extraordinary talent" while calling on young players to deliver immediate results. Mora leads Roma's squad in dribbling success rate at 80%, ahead of Donyell Malen among attacking players, who sits at 67%. Roma invested €25 million to sign Mora from Porto, with a further €25 million available to eliminate a 50% resale clause owed to the Portuguese club. He is currently on international duty with Portugal's Under-21 side, where he has already provided an assist against Bulgaria, and will rejoin after matches against Gibraltar and Czech Republic. His return is scheduled for 7 October, four days before the league resumes. Gasperini is increasingly considering a 3-4-1-2 formation, which could suit Mora's characteristics alongside Paulo Dybala and Malen. Malen is back from a minor knee issue, while Dybala was not called up by Argentina. Roma resumed training at Trigoria today after four days' rest. The coaching staff will monitor Bryan Cristante, Malen and Wesley, all recovering and expected gradually back in full training during the week. Gasperini is also considering a friendly during the break to prepare for the Como trip. Dybala has been ever-present in the opening six matches and ranks third in playing time among outfield players with 407 minutes, behind Cristante and Mario Hermoso. The Argentine has not yet scored this season but has four assists and is in strong physical condition. Roma plan to deny both Dybala and Nahuel Molina permission to travel to Buenos Aires for Messi's final Argentina match, avoiding two intercontinental trips close to the league's resumption. After Como, the fixture list intensifies sharply: Roma face nine matches in twenty-eight days through October and November, including Champions League encounters with Real Madrid, Napoli and Manchester United. The increased minutes will provide Mora with opportunities to prove he can be far more than an investment for the future.
