✅ Stats before the game: Roma have not lost against Empoli in Serie A since 17 February 2007 (1-0 at Castellani with a goal by Pozzi): since then three draws and 11 victories for the Giallorossi, including all seven of the most recent ones, scoring at least two goals per match. Roma is the team against which Empoli has played the most away games in Serie A without ever winning, 15 (2D, 13L), in which the Tuscans have always conceded goals and only once have they managed to score more than one (in the defeat by 4-3 on 1 February 1998). Roma lost their most recent Serie A match against the bottom team in the table at the start of the day (1-2 against Cremonese on 28 February), after having won 13 of the 16 previous matches of this type (3N). Empoli is the only team in this championship to have not yet obtained points and not yet found the net; in the entire history of Serie A, only two teams have played the first four matches of the season without winning points or scoring, Mantua in 1964/65 and Padova in 1994/95.
