Pinamonti to Score
Pinamonti top scores for Empoli this season with 7 Serie A goals and we're backing the Italian striker to score against Roma this weekend. Three of the 22-year-old's goals have come from the penalty spot and this is already his high-scoring campaign as a professional. The Inter Milan loanee is due a goal after failing to score in his last four appearances in all competitions.
Abraham to Score

Empoli are out of form but Roma still expecting tough 90-minutes
Empoli gave Inter Milan a huge scare in the Coppa Italia on Wednesday night, forcing the tie into extra time. Inter went 1-0 up through Sanchez but were pegged back just after the hour mark when Bajrami scored. An own goal from Radu put Empoli 2-1 up and the underdogs came so close to causing an upset at the San Siro only for Ranocchia to equalise in stoppage-time. The tie was eventually settled in the 104th-minute by a goal from Sensi. In the league, Empoli have performed above expectations and play good football to boot, so there is very little chance of the newly-promoted club being dragged into a relegation fight.
Empoli Predicted Lineup – Furlan, Romagnoli, Fiamozzi, Marchizza, Viti, Štulac, Bandinelli, Żurkowski, Asllani, Cutrone & Pinamonti
Roma managed to see off lower-league opposition in the form of Lecce on Thursday night, despite going a goal down early on. Kumbulla equalised for Mourinho's men in the 40th-minute and in the second half, Abraham put the home side in front. Shomurodov wrapped up the victory for Roma with a third goal 9-minutes from time. Roma need a good cup run as they currently sit 7th in the Serie A table and could miss out on European qualification via their league position.
Roma Predicted Lineup – Patrício, Karsdorp, Kumbulla, Ibañez, Oliveira, Veretout, Cristante, Maitland-Niles, Pérez, Abraham & Afena-Gyan
Team News
Empoli: Viti is suspended for the hosts, while Di Francesco, Parisi and Haas look set to miss out through injury.
Roma: Pellegrini, El Shaarawy, Smalling, Darboe and Diawara could all miss out this weekend for the visitors.
