AS Roma take on the visitors Empoli In the round 2 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Sunday, August 25th at Stadio Olimpico (Rome).
"Roma" under Mourinho managed to secure their first international trophy—the UEFA Europa Conference League. However, they failed to achieve their main goal of qualifying for the Champions League. They fell short both in Serie A, where the "Wolves" mostly stagnated, and in the Europa League, where they just missed out. Mourinho, who was sacked mid-season, was replaced by local legend De Rossi—initially as a temporary measure, but the "interim" label was soon removed. Moreover, the signings of Soule and Dovbyk, which cost over 50 million, indicate that the "Wolves" are serious this time. However, they started with a goalless draw against Cagliari.

"Empoli" will attempt to stay clear of the danger zone this season. The "Blues" have previously made it to European competitions. But after their latest return from Serie B, the team has mainly focused on securing survival in Serie A. They managed to do so again last season, but in the most dramatic fashion: playing against Roma in the final round, they snatched a victory thanks to a goal by Niang in the 93rd minute. This allowed them to finish 17th, just 1 point ahead of Frosinone. It was another miraculous escape for the underdogs under Davide Nicola. However, he has since left his coaching position, passing the baton to Roberto D'Aversa. The squad was also refreshed with a series of loans—Esposito, Colombo, and Vázquez were added. Empoli also paid Atalanta 10 million to keep Cambiaghi, who had spent the last two years with them. The new lineup started with a 4-1 victory, but that was in the Coppa Italia against Catanzaro at home. In their opening Serie A match against Monza, they played out a goalless draw.
Before the mentioned May defeat, the "Giallorossi" had won 8 consecutive matches against the "Blues." At the very least, the "Wolves" should score and win at home. Bet on their victory with a "-1.0 goal" handicap.
Prediction for the match: AS Roma to win with -1.0 handicap.
