&lt;p&gt;Three points to try and put a difficult period behind them: this will be the frame of mind that Roma and Empoli will both be adopting ahead of Sunday’s match at the Olimpico (20:45 CEST), as they seek wins to not further complicate the path towards their respective season aims.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Giallorossi, who then await Thursday’s Europa League match to Sheriff at home, have suffered two consecutive defeats to Hellas Verona and AC Milan following their opening-day draw to Salernitana. This is the first season they haven’t managed a win in their first three matches since 2011/12 (2D, 1L)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Empoli are the only team to have not yet gained a single point in the league and haven’t managed to find the net either (defeats against Hellas Verona, Monza and Juventus); only two teams in the history of Serie A have gone their first four games without scoring a goal or a point, Mantova in 1964/65 and Padova in 1994/95.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DID YOU KNOW?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Empoli are the first team to have fielded three different starting goalkeepers in the first three matches of a Serie A TIM season since the beginning of the three-point-for-a-win era (from 1994/95): Elia Caprile, Samuele Perisan and Etrit Berisha&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PREVIOUS MATCHES&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Roma haven’t lost to Empoli in Serie A since 17 February 2007 (1-0 to the Castellani with a goal from Pozzi): since then, 3 draws and 11 Giallorossi victories, seven of which have come in the last seven meetings with the Giallorossi scoring at least two in each match. Roma are the team against whom Empoli have played the most Serie A away matches without winning: 15 (2D, 13L). The Tuscans have conceded in every meeting and only managed to score more than one on one occasion (in the 4-3 loss on 1 February 1998).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PLAYERS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nicolò Cambiaghi is the highest Italian goalscorer born in the year 2000 in Serie A TIM (5); the Empoli striker has not found the net in his last six appearances in the competition, however.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Romelu Lukaku has been involved in three goals in just 104 minutes played against Empoli in Serie A TIM, averaging a goal involvement every 35 minutes; this is the Roma striker`s best record against a single opposition in the league.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SUSPENDED AND CAUTIONED&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;no one&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;REFEREES&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sacchi (Tolfo-Massara), IV: Colombo, VAR: Mazzoleni, AVAR: Miele&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NEXT SERIE A TIM MATCHES&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Torino-Roma (Sunday 24 September 20.45 CEST)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Empoli-Inter (Sunday 24 September 12.30 CEST)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Photo LaPresse)&lt;/p&gt;

After three games, one point for the Giallorossi, and zero for the Tuscans. It’s time for a change of pace for both teams in this year’s Serie A TIM
