Brian Cristante will line up in the middle of the park for Roma on Monday evening as part of a midfield two in Gasperini’s 3-4-3 system. He’ll have to take on the work of an extra man against the midfield trio of Fiorentina and has committed a foul in each of his last five Serie A matches, committing 2+ fouls in two of these games.

He was the centre of attention the last time these sides met, committing two fouls leading to a yellow card as well as getting on the scoresheet. He’s committed 58 fouls across his 32 starts in Serie A this season (1.88 per 90), and Fiorentina can force a small rise in this average having drawn an eye catching 21 fouls from Roma when the sides last met - with both of their midfielders in that game fouled at least once.

The biggest threat to Cristante in central areas here will be Rolando Mandragora who is averaging 2.08 fouls won per 90 in Serie A this season. He’ll also have to contend with Fagioli (1.52 fouls won per 90) with both players being shortly priced for a foul here:

Fagioli: 1.28 for 1+ foul 
Mandragora: 1.04 for 1+ foul 

There is real value with this angle when backing with Bet365, the same selection is priced as low as 1.2 with other major bookmakers.
