Roma vs Empoli Prediction: Expect a tough encounter?

On Matchday 21 of the Italian Serie A, Roma will host Empoli and try to rehabilitate themselves for the last two offensive defeats. The guests are a strong middle of the tournament and intend to cause problems to Jose Mourinho's team.

The team has been unlucky in their last two matches. First, they showed a good game but didn't survive against the best team in Serie A - a 1:2 defeat by Napoli. With the same result, Roma lost to Cremonese and unexpectedly dropped out of the Italian Cup. At the moment, they are sitting in sixth place in Serie A.

Empoli showed a good game in the last six rounds of the Italian championship. It is vital to note the great match against Inter - the win on the road with a minimum margin of 1:0. During these six appearances, the team had three wins and three draws. According to the first-round results, Empoli is in tenth place in the Serie A standings.

It should be noted an exciting trend in games involving the hosts. In the last five Serie A matches, one goal has been scored in the first half. We can expect that the second half of the upcoming game can please us with high-productive actions. Roma will aim to break the unlucky series of performances, gain three points and rise to third place in the standings. This will create additional pressure on the rivals - AC Milan, Atalanta, and Lazio.
