Pellegrini sits at 1.83 with Betfair to have one or more shots on target in Sunday’s clash with Fiorentina, which is a generous price compared with that at Sky Bet, which only offers the player at 1.62 in the same market.

Betfair’s price implies that he has a 54.5% chance of having a shot on target, but his recent form suggests there is a greater prospect of this happening.

Pellegrini has a shot on target in four of his last five appearances for Roma, including each of his last three Serie A starts. There has been an uptick in his figures in this regard as he was used in a more defensive role earlier this season but he has been push forward once again.

When starting as an attacking midfielder, he has had shots on target in five of six Seire A matches. The only league game in which this has not happened was an away fixture against Juventus.

Was given only a handful of minutes in midweek, so should be fresh for this game.

The last team to play in Roma’s 3-4-3 system against Fiorentina was Atalanta. On that occasion, both their No.10s – the role Pellegrini will take up – had two shots on target.
