Empoli

They could have made life easier in the race for survival in the previous round. Davide Nicola's team took on Udinese away from home and opened the scoring in the 90th minute through M'Baye Niang's penalty. However, Empoli was unable to hold on to their advantage. At the end of extra time, they made a mistake in their penalty area and were awarded an eleven-metre penalty - 1:1.

At the same time, Empoli's closest rivals, Frosinone and Udinese, meet in the final round, meaning that a victory over Roma will guarantee the Blues a place in Serie A.

Roma

The Romans will finish sixth in the standings. At the same time, Daniele De Rossi's team can still qualify for the Champions League. To do so, Roma needs Atalanta to finish fifth in the league. This scenario is very realistic, as the Bergamaschi have no reason to climb any higher.

In the last round, Roma secured their place in the Champions League by beating Genoa on home soil. 1:0 - Romelu Lukaku scored the only goal after 79 minutes.
