Preview
Roma eye a return to winning ways as they face Empoli in their next Serie A match on Sunday.
Jose’s men suffered their 2nd defeat of the season as they were beaten by Roma 3-2 last Sunday.
Milinkovic-Savic, Rodriguez gave the hosts a 2-0 lead before Ibanez pulled one back for the visitors.
But Anderson scored what turned out to be the winning goal in the 63rd minute. Veretout scored a penalty to make it 3-2 but Roma did not have much left to win the game.
This loss kept Roma in the 4th spot with 12 points from 6 matches.
On the other hand, Empoli beat Bologna 4-2 and have picked up successive wins in the league for the first time this season.
After a poor start to the season, they are slowly finding their feet in the league and will look to continue the winning form here.
Both sides last met in the Serie A in March 2019 where Roma won 2-1.

Empoli possible 11:
Vicario, Marchizza, Viti, Romagnoli, Stojanovic, Bandinelli, Ricci, Haas, Bajrami, Pinamonti and Di Francesco
Prediction: Roma 2-0 Empoli
Roma are the favourites in this one as they are the in-form side and have been playing well this season.
With the quality on show for the hosts, Empoli will find it difficult to break down Roma and hence we see Roma clinching all points.
Players to watch out for: Abraham, Pellegrini, Di Francesco and Bajrami.
