Team News

Roma
Empoli
  • Paulo Dybala is ready to start alongside Romelu Lukaku this weekend.
  • Gianluca Mancini isn't fully fit after picking up an injury while on international duty and could be replaced by Evan Ndicka.
  • Paolo Zanetti is weighing up a possible switch to a 4-3-3 formation this weekend.

Prediction

  • Roma went into the international break with only one point after three matches, including their most recent 2-1 defeat against AC Milan in which they largely struggled to create chances even with a numerical advantage for more than half an hour.
  • Injuries have also affected their poor start this season and the Giallorossi will be eager to build good momentum ahead of a good run of fixtures in the upcoming weeks.
  • On the other hand, Empoli are the only team yet to score and didn't register a single shot on target against Juventus in their previous match.
  • The Azzurri are still settling into a new system and have a tough run of fixtures this month, but their fans will be expecting a more encouraging performance in the final third.

  • Ndicka, Smalling and Patrico are funny, so Roma is both to score goldmine :)
