AS Roma: current form, latest results, statistics
Rome ranks 5th in Serie A, with 44 points. In the last stage he lost the derby with Lazio, his concitadin, and allowed her to get close to 3 points. The hierarchy in this area has grown very much, with 3 teams with 41 points.
The Romanians are trying to get a seat in the Champions League, but their eyes to the fourth position do not lose the opportunity to play in the Europa League. There is an exciting time with a fierce battle between teams ranked between 4th and 10th.
On Wednesday, Rome was eliminated from the finals of the Champions League final. Although he won the 2-1 tournament, he failed to keep the advantage and was defeated by 3-1, after overtime. Following this result, Eusebio De Francesco presented his resignation. In his place was named Claudio Ranieri, free of charge after breaking away from Fulham, only a week ago.
Stephan El Shaarawy, with 8 goals scored, and Aleksandr Kolarov and Edin Dzeko, both with 7 goals, are the main hosts of the hosts. Kolarov and Dzeko are suspended for this meeting. And so is Federico Fazio’s central defender. If we remember Cengiz Under, we could see that Rome will play the match with Empoli without 4 major players.
FC Empoli: current form, latest results, statistics
Empoli is one of the teams that struggles to avoid relegation. Occupies 17th place, 22 points, 4th in Bologna. Only the bolognese have just won the match with Cagliari and have come close to just one point in the back. And here we will have a very hot fight to get a seat in Serie A next season.
It is worth noting that Empoli is the weakest team in the disputed games, where it has brought only 4 points. They came from teams in direct combat, Cagliari, Spal, Frosinone and Chievo.
Francesco Caputo, with 12 goals scored, is the scorer of the visiting team. Unfortunately, he is at the age of 31, who is hardly believed to be transferred by a top team. For what he managed this season would really deserve.
In the last stage, Empoli managed to get a point in the extreme with Parma (3-3). He was led three times and three times he managed to equalize. It remains a fairly easy team. In the away games it has the weakest defensive, with 28 goals scored in 12 games. In the last 5 he allowed 12 goals, which means an average of 2.40 goals per game.

AS Roma vs FC Empoli Picks
It is true that there are many important absences in the Roma band, but the arrival of a new technician always brings an emulation, each wanting to look like he can count on it. Neither Ranieri will want to start with a new negative romance. Roma has valuable players in the batch that can replace the unavailable owners for a normal success in front of a team with no traveling veleties.
