Empoli vs AS Roma Prediction & Betting tips
Italy is already the eighth day at the door. On Saturday at 19:30 Empoli receives the Roma in Carlo Castellani. The table situation gives the Roma a clear favorite. And this view is also shared by the bookmakers. The “Azzurri” are only in 18th place, while “La Lupa” has worked steadily upwards. With last two wins in a row in Serie A, they now rank ninth. With a victory of the Roma a European table place would be quite possible again.
Empoli:
Empoli scored only one victory in the previous seven match days. He made it to Cagliari Calcio (now 17th) at the beginning of the season. At home succeeded a 2: 0. Then no game could be won. Four defeats and another two draws they had to accept. The last little success they could “celebrate” was a 1: 1 draw against Milan. But with a goal shot ratio of 4:16 this point win was rather happy. If you also consider that the equalizer fell with a penalty, we would not consider this point win too high.
Coach Andreazzoli will have to do without Luca Antonelli (hamstring injury), Manuel Pasqual (eye injury) and possibly the Joker in attack Levan Mchedlidze.
AS Roma:
Rome got the turn after a bad start to the season. Finally, three wins are won in one go. First, Frosinone Calcio was swept away 4-0, then the city rivals Lazio had to believe it 3-1. During the week they convinced in the Champions League against Viktoria Pilsen. 5: 0 it was the end. “Man of the match” was definitely the triple scorer Edin Dzeko. Thus, the team of Eusebio Di Francesco should again be full of confidence, a feature that Empoli may not call her own at the moment.
Failed are Captain De Rossi (knee injury), Diego Perotti (since his injury, the Roma won every game), Javier Pastore (midfielder with a calf injury) and possibly Kostas Manolas (central defensive midfielder).
From a purely statistical point of view, some speak for a rather narrow victory of the Roma. For as superior as they currently seem, in 14 of the last 17 away games (seasonal) fell less than 2.5 goals. Empoli confirms this with his home record. In the last four Serie A games were always less than 2.5 goals. But you can also turn statistics as nicely as they suit you. In the games involving the Roma, five out of the last six games have seen more than 2.5 goals. Bets in the over / under segment are therefore provided with excitement.
