Empoli, Recent FormIt's fair to say Empoli will have been relatively pleased with a point from their last encounter with Udinese, a match that ended in a 1-1 draw.
Having conceded 6 goals and scored just 2 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 5 points. They have failed to score in 4 of their last 6 games, and they have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 games at home.
Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
Roma, Recent FormRoma will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 1-0 win in their home outing against Genoa. In that game they had 58% possession and managed 15 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Genoa who had 8 attempts and 1 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 8 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 9 and seen valuable points lost. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
Roma will take some comfort from being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 away games, but with only 2 wins there is some room for improvement.
Romelu Lukaku will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Roma.
The last time these two teams met Roma enforced their superiority over Empoli with a comfortable 7-0 win.
Goals should be on the cards for i Giallorossi in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against Empoli in their last 8 meetings together. Ahead of this match, Empoli won't like the look of their goal stats, having failed to secure a goal in their last 2 meetings against i Giallorossi. Roma have an impressive record of scoring goals against Azzurri, with a tally of 17 goals against them in their previous 5 encounters.
In the last 3 league meetings between the teams at Stadio Carlo Castellani, Roma has taken all 3 points and has not lost away to Empoli in 7 games.
There is only really one injury concern for the Empoli manager Davide Nicola ahead of this clash, with Tyronne Ebuehi (Cruciate ligament) missing out, which gives Nicola a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
Daniele De Rossi has a number of injury concerns in his Roma squad to contend with: Zeki Çelik (Thigh), Rick Karsdorp (Meniscus) and Leonardo Spinazzola (Muscle)
