Roma v Cesena in eight numbers

ima

Roma host Cesena at the Stadio Olimpico on Wednesday (kick-off 21:00) in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals

We look at eight interesting facts and figures ahead of the game which will send one of the sides into the last four...

1

Roma and Cesena have met just once in the Coppa Italia, when the side from Romagna beat the Giallorossi 3-1 in the second round in 1996-97.

2

Cesena are into the quarter-finals for the second time in their history after reaching this stage in 1970-71 before going out to Napoli.

3/8

Alisson has kept clean sheets in three of his eight appearances for Roma, including his last two.

Roma have won two of their last five matches in the Coppa Italia. Their record in that time includes two losses and a draw (in the penalty shootout defeat to Spezia).

4

Cesena have won four matches on the spin in the Coppa Italia for the first time since 1982-83. That season they made it five straight victories for the only time in their history.

8

Cesena have scored eight goals in the Coppa Italia this season. Camillo Ciano has struck two of them and is the only Bianconeri man to have found the net more than once in this competition.

13

The Giallorossi hit the target 13 times in their last-16 tie against Sampdoria. That was at least five more than any other team at that stage of this season's Coppa Italia.

21/37

Roma have gone through in 21 of the 37 times they have made it into the Coppa Italia quarter-finals.

30

Edin Dzeko and Radja Nainggolan have featured more for Luciano Spalletti's team than anyone else this season (30 appearances for both).
