Empoli take on the visitors AS Roma in the round 6 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Monday, September 12th at Stadio Carlo Castellani (Empoli).
Empoli periodically climbs into Serie A. But at the same time, they spend in Serie A, as a rule, a little time. The last time the increase happened in the spring of last year. It all started well: Andreazzoli, heading the team, was able to take a worthy 14th place with him. But after that, cooperation with Aurelio ended. The post of head coach was taken by Paolo Zanetti. He raised Venice to the country's top division, but could not keep it there, and left his position during the last championship. In a new place, a specialist cannot win in any way. Already the debut came out blurred: a relegation from the cup to the home field to SPAL. On the other hand, having also lost to the modest Spezia in the 1st round, the Blues continue to stamp out draws. Fiorentina were kept 0-0 at home, with Lecce and Verona scored a goal each. And on Monday they pulled out a point on the Salernitana field, making the score 2-2 in the 81st minute.

Roma are in their second season under Mourinho. Season 2021/2022 cannot be included in Seu Jose's assets. At considerable expense (which is only worth signing Abraham), the new coach achieved minimal progress for the Jalorossi in terms of points, and, accordingly, places in Serie A. And only a victory in the Conference League brightened up the impression - after all, the title, especially the international one level, European Cup. But now Roma need to get better results. Moreover, having received reinforcement in the form of Matic and Wijnaldum, Dybala and Belotti. The capital's "wolves" got off to a decent start, winning where they were supposed to - against "Salernitana", "Cremonese" and "Monza". They also tied the trip to rival Juventus. But last Sunday we lost to Udinese. And how: 0-4 in Friuli became the biggest in the biography of an ambitious mentor in Serie A! Remember that now the calendar has become more complicated. Roma started in the Europa League on Thursday with a defeat to Ludogorets.
Empoli last won a head-to-head in 2007. All 5 recent matches ended in victories for Roma. Including 2-0 and 4-2 last season, already under Mourinho. Bookmakers consider Roma to be the favorite. But, remembering her pragmatic style, it is better to limit the bet to "under 3.0 goals".
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 scored goals.
