Champions League hopefuls, Roma, will prepare to welcome Empoli to the Stadio Olimpico for a showdown in the Serie A this Saturday. The hosts are currently in sixth place in the league with 37 points in 20 matches, just one behind point AC Milan, Atalanta, and Lazio, and two behind second-placed Inter Milan. Roma’s last match ended in a 2-1 defeat to runaway leader Napoli, bringing an end to their six-match unbeaten run of three wins and three draws. At home, Roma has been performing slightly below their expectations, taking 16 points in their nine matches at Stadio Olimpico, with a record of five wins, one draw, and three losses. However, they are unbeaten in their last three matches at home and will want to extend that run as they look to keep the pressure on the sides above them.

Empoli comes into this match riding a good run of form and is unbeaten in their last six league matches with three wins and three draws, including a 2-2 draw against Torino last time out. The visitors have managed to pull themselves into tenth position in the league, with 26 points in 20 matches, and are just three points behind Udinese in seventh place. Empoli’s major issue has been their form on the road, where they’ve only managed just two wins in ten matches, along with five draws and three losses. Empoli lost the reverse fixture 2-1 on their home patch in September and will be hoping they can return the favor in this one.
