Daniele De Rossi’s Roma will be looking for a positive end to their season with a win away to an Empoli side desperately fighting to avoid relegation.
The match between the Tuscan outfit and the Giallorossi kicks off at 19.45 UK time at the Stadio Carlo Castellani in Empoli.
Roma are on the cusp of securing a spot in the Champions League, but everything depends on what happens in Atalanta’s final two games of the season against Torino and Fiorentina, needing la Dea to not win either.
The Giallorossi are without the injured Leonardo Spinazzola and suspended duo Leandro Paredes and Romelu Lukaku.
Empoli find themselves 18th in the Serie A table with 33 points, one less than Udinese and two less than Frosinone. Victory over Roma could be vital in their quest to avoid relegation, pilling on the pressure.
The Tuscan outfit cannot count on Alberto Cerri and Tyronne Ebuehi, both out with injuries. Alberto Grassi is unavailable through suspension.
When these two teams met back in September, the Giallorossi flew to a thrilling 7-0 win over Empoli.
