AS Roma :
AS Roma seemed as said to be a long time on the way to the title “Best of the rest ‘for itself to demand, but recent confidence suffered a severe blow. The clash with Napoli for his home crowd seemed to be extremely fit to put the South Italians good distance, but culprit Dries Mertens decided otherwise. The fast Belgian produced two goals in Rome and that proved to be just enough to take the three points home: 1-2. By which nevertheless unexpected defeat to Napoli, the gap narrowed to two points and thus AS Roma will make the next few weeks with a lot of pressure. Incidentally, mention restoring more than decent. Relegation candidate Palermo was his home crowd in a 1-3 defeat and treated Sassuolo succeeded last week not to hold the men of Luciano Spalletti profits. AS Roma swallowed an early goal but three goals by the Romans asked secure the victory later. The formation of Spalletti was recently bowled by Olympique Lyon in the Champions League and therefore the focus is now fully on Serie A and the Coppa Italia. The match against Empoli lurching now seems to have a good strength to give confidence a new boost.
Spalletti is Saturday moreover can not have Kevin Strootman. The midfielder, who this season 25 times appeared at kick-off, against Sassuolo collected his fifth yellow card and therefore the international game suspension will have to sit out. Spalletti will have to improvise to make up his midfield. Daniele De Rossi left Tuesday after just 37 minutes the field in the friendly match against the Netherlands because of a back injury and the injury he must let this game. Leandro Paredes is likely to try to start in midfield.

Szczesny, Rudiger, Manolas, Fazio, Emerson, Paredes, Grenier, El Shaarawy, Nainggolan, Salah, Dzeko
Empoli :
The statistics of Empoli are currently amazingly bad, but the somehow resembles the formation of Giovanni Matusciello managed to succeed to extend the Serie A subscription for one year. Empoli namely, the lucky Palermo, Crotone and Pescara actually perform worse and therefore there is a gap of seven points arise in the eighteenth position. Empoli will have to put out all the stops in order not to get in trouble, but at this moment a victory seems books to be a utopia. Empoli is hardly scoring (17 goals in 29) games and that is the main reason that there are virtually no points gleaned. The last eight matches the current form of law was taken just a point and may therefore be described as dramatic. Last week there actually succeeded Empoli to score in Naples, but it was not enough to keep the victory Napoli off twice: 3-2. Empoli will now have to perform a small miracle to gather at least a point in Rome because it is also made bad in away games with the goal production. Thus, to date, made worst six goals in fourteen away games.
That, incidentally, is the fact that Matusciello Saturday may not be best potential feature. The experienced Andrea Costa will have to miss this game. The 31 year old defender picked up last week his fifth yellow card of the season and therefore can draw a line because of a suspension by the showdown. The same goes for Assane Diousse. The Senegalese gathered last week already his tenth yellow card and therefore the midfielder will also be a suspension to sit out.
Probable lineup Empoli
Skorupski, Laurini, Bellusci, Barba, Pasqual, Krunic, Buchel, Croce, El Kaddouri, Marilungo, Maccarone
