Roma's recent form and superior statistics provide them a significant edge over Empoli. The Giallorossi's defensive resilience and efficient attack make them strong favorites. A key factor to watch will be Roma's ability to maintain their defensive discipline, which could prove crucial against an Empoli side desperate for points in their battle against relegation.
