Daniele De Rossi turned around Roma’s season after taking over for Jose Mourinho. De Rossi has the team playing some exciting football.
A win over Roma on the final day could see them finish fifth in the standings, which would lead to the club qualifying for the Champions League.
However, Roma must win, hope Atalanta lose, and overturn the Bergamo club’s better goal difference.
Empoli are fighting for their Serie A lives. The Azzurri are 18th in the standings and one point off safety. Empoli must win and hope Udinese or Frosinone lose in round No. 38.
