Today's Predictions for Roma vs Empoli

Can in-form Empoli trouble Roma when the teams meet in the Italian capital for a Serie A fixture on Saturday? Read our top predictions for this weekend’s fixture below.

Both Teams to Score

Roma have been priced as odds-on favourites to beat Empoli this weekend, though the visitors are unbeaten in five games since the campaign’s resumption and it might be smart to avoid the match result markets here. In their last two away assignments at Lazio and Inter, Empoli scored three times and they should be able to impact the scoresheet again on Saturday. Roma have notched in 100% of their six matches since Christmas however, and they have the quality to continue that streak at Empoli’s expense. Back both teams to register in this one.

Empoli +2.0 Goals Handicap

Our second prediction delves into the handicap stakes and we recommend backing Empoli with a two goal advantage at favourable odds. The improvement in Empoli’s performances since the domestic season’s return has been stark and alongside stringing together a five-match unbeaten run, they took four points from two tough tips to Lazio and Inter. With two clean sheets in their last three games, Empoli have been defending doggedly and they should make the most of a +2.0 goal start at Roma.

Let's take a closer look at the latest markets, odds and probability figures ahead of Saturday’s encounter between Roma and Empoli below.

Roma odds: 1/2 (1.5) – 66.7%

Draw odds: 17/5 (4.4) – 22.7%

Empoli odds: 29/5 (6.8) – 14.7%

Empoli haven’t been given much of a chance this weekend by the bookies, while a 1-0 correct score in Roma’s favour is the tightest price in that market at 5/1 (6.0) – 16.7%. English striker Tammy Abraham is favourite in the first goalscorer stakes at 4/1 (5.0) – 20%. The Roma forward has broken the deadlock in a game just twice so far this season, however.

Roma vs Empoli Team News & Injuries

Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for Saturday’s Serie A collision between Roma and Empoli below.

Roma

Roma have close to a clean bill of health at present with Dutch midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum currently listed as the only absentee from Jose Mourinho's squad. Roma had a Coppa Italia quarter-final to contest against Cremonese in midweek, so fatigue might be a factor for them this weekend.

Predicted Lineup for Roma: Rui Patricio – Mancini, Smalling, Ibanez – Zalewski, Cristante, Matic, Spinazzola – Dybala, Pellegrini, Abraham

Empoli

Defenders Ardian Ismajli and Lorenzo Tonelli are out for Empoli, while midfielder Alberto Grassi is expected to sit out the next couple of weeks. Attacker Mattia Destro is in the same boat and will likely miss the weekend's contest. Empoli are up to a lofty tenth spot in Serie A after their spike in results.

Predicted Lineup for Empoli: Vicario – Ebuehi, De Winter, Luperto, Cacace – Akpro, Marin, Bandinelli – Baldanzi, Satriano, Caputo

Player to Watch – Sebastiano Luperto

Empoli defender Sebastiano Luperto has enjoyed a productive few weeks and following a string of impressive performances, the centre-half has the quality to be a key performer again this weekend. Luperto excelled in Empoli’s shock 1-0 win at Inter on January 23rd, and he will need to be at his best again against a strong Roma side in the capital on Saturday.
