AS Roma vs Empoli Prediction: 25/8/2024

Empoli’s recent away form has been far from impressive, with six losses in their last eight trips, during which they’ve conceded 16 goals. This should be encouraging news for AS Roma, who have been in excellent form, scoring 20 goals and collecting 18 points out of a possible 21 as they push for the title.

However, AS Roma’s home games this season have often been low-scoring affairs, with under 2.5 goals in 10 of their 13 Serie A matches so far. Similarly, Empoli’s recent matches have also been tight, with their last 10 Serie A games, including the most recent eight, featuring two goals or fewer. So, a high-scoring game seems unlikely.

Additionally, Empoli’s away games rarely see both teams scoring, with only one of their last seven away fixtures in Serie A featuring goals from both sides. AS Roma have also been defensively solid at home, managing to keep a clean sheet in 10 of their last 13 matches.

 

Prediction

AS Roma has consistently been involved in low-scoring Serie A matches, with 15 of their last 17 games featuring under 2.5 goals. Empoli’s away games have followed a similar pattern, with 17 of their last 20 away matches also seeing two goals or fewer. Given these trends, a narrow victory for AS Roma is expected.

Expected Score: AS Roma 1 : 0 Empoli
