Roma, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Roma players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-1 away defeat at the hands of Napoli. Their share of possession in that meeting was 43%, while racking up 11 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target, in contrast to Napoli, who had 11 shots on goal with 6 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 5 and seen valuable points lost. José Mourinho will have some concerns about his team's back line after only making 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home matches.
Their form has to be regarded as good of late with 5 matches unbeaten from their last 6 and 3 wins bagged along the way.
Paulo Dybala will be feeling confident about adding his name to the scoresheet once more at Stadio Olimpico di Roma, having notched up 5 goals for Roma in their last 6 league matches at home.
Empoli, Recent FormA point gained from their 2-2 draw against Torino in their previous encounter will not be considered a bad outcome for Empoli. In that game they had 47% possession and managed 11 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Torino who had 16 attempts and 4 on target.
Manager Paolo Zanetti will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 9 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 5 goals conceded in the same period. Chalking up goals on the road is something their fans have become accustomed to, with them hitting the net in 4 of their last 6 matches. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
They have been performing well recently, both home and away, and remain unbeaten in their last 6 games.
Tommaso Baldanzi has scored 2 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Roma.
Last time these two teams met in the league it ended in disappointment for Empoli, losing 1-2 to Roma.
Roma have scored in each of their last 12 games at home in the league against Azzurri.
Roma will be looking to continue their winning streak against Empoli, having won each of the last 6 times they have met in the league and being unbeaten in their last 13 meetings.
Tammy Abraham has scored in each of Roma's last 2 league games against Empoli.
Roma manager José Mourinho has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Zeki Çelik (Thigh), Ebrima Darboe (Knee), Rick Karsdorp (Meniscus) and Georginio Wijnaldum (Broken leg) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Paolo Zanetti has a number of injury concerns in his Empoli squad to contend with: Mattia Destro (Calf), Alberto Grassi (Muscle), Ardian Ismajli (Thigh) and Lorenzo Tonelli (Knee)
