Roma v Crotone in 10 numbers

0

Along with Palermo, Crotone are one of only two Serie A teams stuck on zero wins for the campaign so far.

3

There are three players who have featured for both clubs ahead of tomorrow's encounter. Alessandro Florenzi was on loan at Crotone in 2011-12, while Aleandro Rosi and Adrian Stoian have both spent time at Roma – the former in various spells between 2005 and 2012, the latter from 2008 to 2010.

5

Crotone have dropped five points from leading positions, more than any other side this season.

14

Despite the fact Rome saw their 20-game unbeaten run in the league broken against Fiorentina, the Giallorossi have another streak to preserve tomorrow evening: they haven't lost at the Olimpico in Serie A for 14 matches, winning ten, drawing four and hitting the back of the net 34 times.

20

Edin Dzeko has had 20 attempts on goal this season, four more than his nearest challenger in Serie A.

21/09

The last time Roma had a league game on 21 September was two seasons ago when Mattia Destro and Florenzi both scored in a 2-0 victory over Cagliari.

27 against 6

Roma (27) are second only to Napoli (29) in terms of shots on target, whereas Crotone's six puts them at the bottom of this particular ranking. There's a huge gulf in the possession stats too: Roma are third with 59%, Crotone second-to-last with 43%.

83

Considering all the domestic competitions – both league and cup, under their various names in history – Crotone will be Roma's 83rd different opponent in Italy.

2013

Crotone coach Davide Nicola has only faced Roma once before in Serie A, back when he was Livorno coach in 2013-14. Goals from Daniele De Rossi and Florenzi consigned his team to an early-season 2-0 defeat at home on that occasion. On the other hand, Nicola has never previously come up against Luciano Spalletti in the top flight.

2863

Roma v Crotone will be the club's 2863rd fixture in the highest division in Italy: so far the Giallorossi have chalked up 1182 wins, 868 draws and 812 losses.
