Empoli
Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-0
AS Roma
Empoli will try to avoid relegation to Serie B when they face AS Roma on the last day of the season. The Azzurri face a must-win game in the decider as fellow relegation strugglers Frosinone and Udinese go head to head at Stadio Benito Stirpe. Therefore, Empoli have no other option but to go all guns blazing at the Giallorossi. Midfielder Alberto Grassi is banned for the match, while Gariele Guarino remains doubtful.
The capital club, on the other hand, missed out on a spot in the Champions League. As Daniele De Rossi’s men have little to play for in Sunday’s encounter, we are tempted to bet on the home side. In the first half of the season Roma crushed Empoli 7-0 at Stadio Olimpico, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge. Paulo Dybala is pushing for a start, while both Romelu Lukako and Leandro Paredes are banned for the match.
Highlighted Player (Rui Patricio):
Sporting Lisbon and Portugal national team goalkeeper Rui Patricio is a one-club man. He was reportedly close to signing with Serie A giants Inter Milan during the 2008 of-season, but he remained in his club where he will most likely hang up his boots when the time comes. The 28-year-old shot stopper spent most of his career with the Lions making his debut with the first-team at only 18 years of age.
Rui Patricio went on to appear in more than 350 official games for the Portugal greats and remains the first-choice keeper for his club and country. Having gone through all the youth selections with the national team, Rui Patricio was given his first senior cap in 2010 after Paulo Bento’s appointment.
Rui Patricio represented his national team at the 2014 FIFA World Cup and three European Championships. The 28-year-old was the mainstay in Portugal’s historic Euro 2016 title in France.
