Roma head into Sunday's clash against Empoli riding a wave of confidence, having won five consecutive matches across all competitions. Their resurgence under Claudio Ranieri has reignited their push for a top-six finish in Serie A, while their Europa League victory over Athletic Bilbao in midweek solidified their status as a serious contender in Europe. On the other hand, Empoli find themselves battling relegation, stuck in the drop zone following a string of poor results.

Empoli's struggles have been evident, with just one win in their last six Serie A outings. Although they managed to salvage a point against Genoa last time out, they have endured heavy defeats, including a 5-0 drubbing by Atalanta. Their only recent bright spot was a shock Coppa Italia quarter-final victory over Juventus, which secured a historic semi-final berth. However, their league form remains a major concern as they face an uphill battle to avoid relegation.

Roma, by contrast, are in fine form. Unbeaten in Serie A this year, they have secured crucial wins against teams like Napoli, Monza, and Como. Their attack has been firing, with Artem Dovbyk returning to the scoresheet, while Angelino has also made valuable contributions from wing-back. With 10 victories already in 2025, only league leaders Inter Milan have won more games during this period.

Team news suggests Roma could rotate their squad, especially with the second leg against Bilbao looming. Mats Hummels may be handed a rare start in defense, while Tommaso Baldanzi could feature against his former club. Empoli, meanwhile, remain plagued by injuries, with key players such as Mattia Viti, Ardian Ismajli, and Tino Anjorin likely to miss out. The goalkeeping situation is also uncertain, with Devis Vasquez possibly reclaiming his spot after Marco Silvestri’s costly error against Genoa.

Given Roma's form and Empoli’s struggles, the visitors are clear favorites. Even with potential squad rotation, they possess too much quality for their struggling opponents. Expect Ranieri’s side to extend their winning streak with a composed 2-0 victory.

罗马带着信心进入周日对恩波利的比赛，他们已经在各项赛事中取得了五连胜。在拉涅利的带领下，他们的复苏重新点燃了他们在意甲联赛中取得前六名的动力，而他们在周中击败毕尔巴鄂竞技的欧联杯比赛巩固了他们在欧洲赛场上有力竞争者的地位。另一方面，恩波利发现自己正在为保级而战，在一连串糟糕的结果之后，他们被困在降级区。

恩波利的挣扎是显而易见的，他们在最近的六场意甲比赛中只赢了一场。虽然他们在上次对阵热那亚的比赛中挽回了一分，但他们经历了沉重的失败，包括0比5惨败亚特兰大。他们最近唯一的亮点是在意大利杯1 / 4决赛中击败尤文图斯，历史性地晋级半决赛。然而，他们的联赛状态仍然是一个主要问题，因为他们面临着一场艰难的保级之战。

相比之下，罗马的状态很好。今年在意甲保持不败，他们在对阵那不勒斯、蒙扎和科莫等球队的比赛中取得了关键的胜利。他们的进攻火力强劲，多夫比克再次进球，而安杰利诺也在边后卫位置上做出了宝贵的贡献。在2025年已经取得了10场胜利，只有联赛领头羊国际米兰在此期间赢得了更多的比赛。

球队消息显示罗马可能会轮换阵容，特别是第二回合对阵毕尔巴鄂的比赛迫在眉睫。胡梅尔斯可能会罕见地在后防线上首发，而巴尔丹齐可能会在对阵老东家的比赛中出场。与此同时，恩波利仍然受到伤病的困扰，像马蒂亚·维蒂、阿蒂安·伊斯马吉利和蒂诺·安约林这样的关键球员可能会缺席比赛。门将的位置也不确定，在西尔维斯特里对热那亚的致命失误后，德维斯·巴斯克斯可能会重新夺回他的位置。

考虑到罗马的状态和恩波利的挣扎，客队显然更受欢迎。即使有潜在的阵容轮换，他们也拥有太多的实力来对抗他们苦苦挣扎的对手。希望拉涅利的球队能以一场沉稳的2:0的胜利延续连胜纪录。
