Empoli – AS Roma : Preview & Prediction
Empoli is finally having a pretty good season, and almost eliminated Inter from the Italian Cup and joined the quarters. But a goal from Inter players in the 91st minute and then a second in extra time put an end to this hope, and Empoli can now focus 100% on the championship. Because, although they are rather well ranked, the players have not managed to win a single match for 5 games, and will have to make great efforts to get out of this meeting with 3 points.
Roma, on the other hand, are doing a little better after a passage of three difficult games, and have just had two successes in a row. The first in the league, 1-0 against Cagliari, just to reassure themselves, and the second, 3-1 against Lecce in the cup this time. The capital club will play a very difficult quarter against Inter, but must first focus on the championship and this trip which clearly should not be taken lightly. Because Empoli is only 6 points behind Roma, who could well draw a final cross on the top 4 and fifth place in the event of a setback.
Empoli are 11th in Serie A with a record of 8 wins, 5 draws and 9 losses.
Empoli went six games without a win.
Roma are seventh in the Italian league with a record of 11 wins, 2 draws and 9 losses.
After three unsuccessful matches, Roma have just won their last two games.
Roma have 4 wins in a row against Empoli, and have never lost against this club in their history (9 wins and 2 draws).
The ‘over 1.5’ prediction has been passed in 7 of the 9 meetings between these two teams.
José Mourinho’s team is quite inconsistent this year, and the latter does with the players who are made available to him. But, against a club that has never beaten Roma, it is hard to see the Wolf losing in this match, and should therefore logically take at least one point. With two teams that often generate spectacle (the prediction “over 1.5” has passed in 23 of the 25 games played by Empoli this year, and in 8 of the last 9 games for Roma), we advise you to predict on a double chance N/2 and more than 1.5!
