AS Roma round off their Serie A campaign on Sunday knowing that only a big victory will keep them in the hunt for a Champions League place. Empoli will also need a victory to stand a chance of avoiding relegation to the second tier.
Serie A Preview
AS Roma’s season looks set to come up short once again in their hunt for a Champions League finish. The Italian side currently sit sixth in the standings and they are three points outside of the Champions League spots coming into the final round. However, Atalanta will have a game in hand over their rivals following the last weekend.
Roma have claimed just one victory from their last four matches in the competition, with that success coming in their previous outing. However, their winless run of three matches before last weekend appears to have come at the wrong time of the season, and has restricted any chance that they may have had of getting into the Champions League positions.
There will also be huge pressure on Empoli this weekend, as the hosts will need to get something from their match in order to enhance their chances of survival. They come into the round sitting inside the bottom three places, and they are one point from safety with an inferior goal difference.
The hosts will need a victory to stand any chance of staying in the top-flight this term, but even a win could see them suffer relegation if Udinese or Frosinone are able to claim a success. Empoli come into this final round after going four without a win, and they have picked up just two points over that sequence. No side in the competition have scored fewer goals this term.
Empoli vs AS Roma Head to Head
Roma’s record in this fixture is extremely dominant after winning 12 of the last 14 matches between the sides. Empoli have failed to claim a single win over that period. Roma also come into this weekend after winning the last eight matches against their rivals.
Empoli vs AS Roma Prediction
Roma’s record in this fixture is an incredibly challenging trend to overlook this weekend. Therefore, we expect the away team to claim maximum points to condemn their rivals to relegation and keep alive their own Champions League hopes.
