Bookmaker Ratings prediction one: Roma Win – 1.82
Bookmaker Ratings prediction two: Draw or Roma win and BTTS Yes – 1.81
Bookmaker Ratings prediction three: Roma -1.5 Handicap Corners –
Roma have won three of their last five away matches in all competitions. And according to the statistics, there is a 40% chance that Roma will win this match. In their past four visits to Empoli, Roma have never lost winning three and drawing one. Empoli have lost their last two home matches.
Since the odds for both teams to score are quite low at 1.49, we will back the combo bet at Vbet combining BTTS with a draw or Roma win double chance. 82% of Empoli’s home games saw goals at both ends, while in 60% of Roma’s away games both teams scored. Therefore there is a 71% chance that we will see goals from both teams.
We expect Roma to be more on the offensive in this game as they need a win to stay close to the top six. In their home games, Empoli win on average 5.91 corners per game. While Roma while playing away, win on average 7.30 corners per game. Hence we think a -1.5 handicap on corners for Roma is a reasonable bet.

Preliminary review and match prediction for Empoli vs AS Roma
Empoli will be content with their season so far after promotion from Serie b last term. In fact, the Azzurri even had some remarkable victories in the first half of the season by beating Napoli Juventus and Fiorentina. However, coach Aurelio Andreazzoli’s team lost their focus after being 11 points off the relegation zone.
With 15 games still to play in the Serie A season, Andreazzoli must know that they are not secure yet. Moreover, going winless in their last five matches must raise concerns. Some terrible defensive performances led to Empoli conceding13 goals in four matches.
Jose Mourinho came to AS Roma at the beginning of the season with high hopes of success. Although Roma are seventh on the table and still intact with the leading clubs, the Giallorossi have gathered eight points fewer than they did last season at this stage and are having their worst campaign in eight years.
A narrow win in their last outing over relegation-threatened Cagliari wasn’t convincing especially after two defeats at the hands of Milan 3-1 and Juventus 4-3 in a very heartbreaking manner after Mourinho’s men were leading 3-1. Thus, Mourinho needs a solid performance by his team here and return to Rome with all three points.

Safe Bets
One interesting bet that can be safe to play is backing AS Roma to score in the first half. To justify, Roma scored in the first half of four of their last six matches, while Empoli conceded in three of their last four games. Thus with odds of 1.59, we will back Roma to score before the interval.
Quick Rich
In Empoli’s last four of five home games, four or more goals were scored. Likewise, Roma’s last three away games saw four or more goals scored. With odds of 3.15 for 4 or more goals in this game, we think it is a good way to make a quick profit.
Empoli vs AS Roma first goalscorer
Tammy Abraham has been one of the best players for Roma since being bought by Mourinho this season. The Englishman took no time to adjust to Italian football and is Roma’s top scorer with eight goals. With the odds in Abraham’s favor to be the first goalscorer, we will back that bet.
