Recent form

AS Roma

AS Roma's recent form shows a mixed bag of results, with a notable unbeaten streak across their last six games. The team has secured two wins and four draws, demonstrating resilience but also a struggle to convert draws into victories. Their most impressive performance came in a friendly against AC Milan, where they showcased their offensive prowess with a high-scoring 5-2 victory. Defensively, Roma has been relatively solid, conceding an average of less than one goal per game and keeping two clean sheets. However, their league position (14th) after one game suggests a slow start to the Serie A season. The team's goal-scoring ability is evident, with an average of 2 goals per game, but the prevalence of draws (67% of recent matches) indicates room for improvement in securing wins.

Empoli

Empoli's recent form shows a mixed but generally positive trend, with 3 wins, 2 draws, and only 1 loss in their last 6 games. Their defensive record is particularly impressive, maintaining 4 clean sheets and conceding just 0.5 goals per game on average. While their goal-scoring has been prolific, with 16 goals in 6 matches (2.67 per game), this statistic is heavily skewed by their 10-0 victory over Calcio Castelfiorentino in a friendly. Notably, 67% of their recent matches have seen under 2.5 goals, suggesting a tendency towards lower-scoring affairs. Their Serie A start has been steady with a 0-0 draw against Monza, placing them 16th in the league table after one game. The 4-1 win over Catanzaro in the Coppa Italia stands out as their most impressive competitive result in this period.

Recent home/away form

AS Roma

AS Roma's recent home form shows a mixed bag of results, with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses in their last 6 games. The team has been involved in some high-scoring encounters, particularly the friendly match against AC Milan which ended in a 5-2 victory for Roma. Despite their inconsistent form, they managed to keep a clean sheet in their most recent Serie A home game against Genoa. Roma's goal-scoring and conceding averages are identical at 1.5 per game, resulting in a neutral goal difference. Interestingly, both teams scored in 67% of these matches, while 67% of the games saw under 2.5 goals, suggesting a tendency towards tighter, lower-scoring affairs in most of their recent home fixtures.

Empoli

Empoli's recent away form has been particularly poor, with a concerning run of five consecutive losses before securing a draw in their most recent away match against Udinese. This single point from their last six away games highlights their struggles on the road. Notably, Empoli has failed to score in five of these six matches, managing only one goal in total, which results in a meager average of 0.17 goals scored per game. Defensively, they've conceded 9 goals during this period, averaging 1.5 goals conceded per game. Interestingly, all of their recent away games have featured under 2.5 total goals, suggesting low-scoring affairs.
