In a mid week match in week 6, on Mon Sep 12th, Empoli will play host to Roma in a meeting of these two Serie A teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 22 degrees, which is great football weather. In their last match, 15th placed Empoli, recorded a 2-2 draw against Salernitana. Martín Satriano struck first for Empoli in the 31st minute on a feed from Liam Henderson, then Pasquale Mazzocchi tied it up for Salernitana in the 39th minute . Empoli looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 9 points in their last 10 matches, while 5th placed Roma is fresh off their 1-2 loss against Ludogorets. Cauly Oliveira scored the first goal for Ludogorets in the 72nd minute, but Eldor Shomurodov got the equalizer for Roma in the 86th minute. Roma is looking for direction having 3 win and 2 losses in their last 10 matches.
This match will be the first time these two teams face eachother this season. Last season Roma won the head to head battle with 2 wins.
Paulo Dybala has been the most prolific scorer on Roma in his last 5 matches with two goals. Fabiano Parisi and Baldanzi are the top scorers for Empoli in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
