&lt;p&gt;Decisive game for Empoli: Roma are sure of a finish in sixth, the Tuscans still need to save themselves.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Davide Nicola’s side have their fate between their hands, but need to win against the Giallorossi. With three points, the Tuscans would jump to 36 points and go above either Frosinone (currently +2) or Udinese (+1) who play at the same time. If they draw, Empoli will be counting on a Frosinone win over Udinese to face the Friuliani in a relegation playoff. Defeat would mean relegation to Serie B.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DID YOU KNOW?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Empoli could be relegated to Serie B for the first time since 2018/19; on the other hand, they could remain in the top flight for three seasons in a row for the first time in their Serie A history.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Roma will finish in 6th place in the final standings in three seasons in a row for the first time in their history in Serie A – they ended the two previous championships both with 63 points (63 points also in 2023/24 but with one match still to be played).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HEAD-TO-HEAD&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Among teams faced at least 15 times in Serie A, Empoli is the one against which Roma register the highest percentage of games won: 74% (23/31); five draws and three wins of the Tuscan club.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Roma won their last eight matches against Empoli in Serie A, only once have the Giallorossi won more games in a row against a single opponent in the topflight: 10 straight wins against Udinese between October 2013 and February 2018.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Empoli`s last home win against Roma in Serie A dates to Feb. 17, 2007: 1-0, thanks to Nicola Pozzi`s goal, with Luigi Cagni as coach; since then, there have been five Giallorossi wins and two draws in seven matches at the Castellani between the two sides in the top league.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PLAYERS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;M`Baye Niang, who has scored five goals in this championship, equaled his own scoring record in a single Serie A season: five goals with both Genoa in 2014/15 and AC Milan in 2015/16.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Since his arrival to Roma, Empoli is the team against which Paulo Dybala has been involved in more goals in Serie A: six in three games (three goals and three assists). Overall, only Lautaro Martínez (27 - 24 goals and three assists) has been involved in more goals than Dybala (22 - 13 goalscoring and nine assists) in the 2023/24 championship (Olivier Giroud, 14G + 8A, is also on 22).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Empoli is the opponent against whom Tammy Abraham has scored his most goals in Serie A: four in four games, including a brace at Carlo Castellani Stadium on Jan. 23, 2022.
