Today is a somewhat weaker day as far as football offers are concerned, but I have chosen this game, which I believe has a really good chance of passing. Empoli welcomes Roma to its stadium, which is a bit shaken after the unexpected defeat against Ludogorets in the Europa League. But let's start with the hosts first. After five played rounds, Empoli still does not know of a triumph, they have one loss and even four draws in a row. Last season, thanks to some surprisingly good games, they managed to move away from the danger zone and finish the season in 14th position with ten points more than the danger zone. But the start of this season is not very promising for them. All the rivals they have met so far, except Fiorentina, (Spezia, Verona, Salernitana and Lecce) are expected to be placed in the lower part of the table. The games they have played so far are really nothing special, they are characterized by a very small number of shots on the opponent's goal and are important for a team that does not have much attacking potential and above all they rely on counter attacks. They don't play attractive football at all and they prefer to wait for the opponent's mistakes, but coach Paolo Zanetti will have a coach opposite him tonight who perhaps knows best in the world how to win such games.

For years now, Jose Mourinho has been considered a coach who knows how to prepare the team tactically. Roma opened the season brilliantly with two victories, followed by a very good draw with Juventus and a victory over Monza. Roma lost the last two competitive games they played, 4-0 against Udinese and 2-1 against Ludogorets, and it can be said that they are a little shaken in the field of self-confidence. If anyone knows how to raise the team after a somewhat bad period, it is certainly the famous Portuguese. But far from the fact that everything depends on Mourinho, there is a lot to do with the playing staff at their disposal, and that is certainly not lacking in Roma. The most famous name that arrived at Roma this summer is certainly Paulo Dybala, and quite rightly a lot is expected of him. Dybala is not the only quality player in the team, besides him there are also experienced Nemanja Matic, Pellegrini and the excellent striker Abraham. Roma play really nice football and they are currently the third best team in the league in terms of shots on goal, which only speaks in favor of their attacking potential. Victory in this match is imperative for Roma, because after this match they have two very difficult matches, against Atalanta and Inter, and I am sure that Jose Mourinho does not want to allow his team to enter those matches with some bad streak from the previous matches. I expect a very difficult game tonight, without too many chances, but the individual quality of Roma's players and the vast experience of Jose Mourinho are factors that make me give preference to the club from Rome.
