Empoli are ready for a new task after their 2-3 against Inter in the previous match. Roma are coming to town!
- Empoli have the most conceded goals (29) at home in Serie A
- Roma have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Empoli form and stats
With 3 Serie A wins, 1 draw and 7 defeats from their home games, Empoli are certainly not brimming with confidence. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Empoli, their manager Andreazzoli and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.
No payout for Empoli in their previous match, an away game at Inter (after extra-time) that ended in defeat 2-3.
Preceding that game was the away draw at Venezia that finished 1-1.The Empoli fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 17 goals in 11 league matches. Neutralizing the opposition is a challenge, Empoli having conceded 29 goals here at Stadio Carlo Castellani so far.
Roma form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Serie A travels is 4 wins, 0 draws and 6 defeats.
Roma go into this game after a win, the home game against Lecce that ended 3-1. Kumbulla, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 8.03. Kumbulla scored one goal and won 7 of 8 duels.
That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Cagliari in the Serie A.Roma are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 19 times in 10 away games so far. In the opposite end, Roma have conceded 16 goals in their away games.
