Sunday's match at Torino was the 16th time Roma have played at 12:30 since Lega Calcio brought in the lunchtime kick-off slot in the 2010-11 season. The Giallorossi fell to only a second defeat in Sunday's early game - the previous time was a 2-1 loss to Sampdoria in January 2011.
Overall, Roma boast a good record on Sunday lunchtimes - having won 10 of their 16 encounters.
Roma hadn't lost away at Torino for 26 years. The previous occasion came on 7 October 1990 at the Stadio delle Alpi. Torino won 1-0 thanks to a Francesco Romano strike.
Luciano Spalletti celebrated his 100th league win in charge of Roma with victory over Crotone and he brought up another milestone at Torino yesterday. Sunday's game was his 30th in charge of Roma in all competitions since his return to the capital in January of this year. His record reads 17 wins, seven draws and six losses.
Francesco Totti struck his 250th goal in Serie A at Torino. The captain hit his 50th in 2011 in a 1-1 draw at home to Bari. He brought up a century of strikes in a 3-3 draw at home to Inter in 2004. The next 50 were completed in a seven-goal thriller the Giallorossi edged at home to Messina in 2007. 2011 saw him bury number 200 in a 2-2 draw at Fiorentina.
Roma haven't beaten a side coached by Torino's Sinisa Mihajlovic since 16 February 2014, when the Serb was in charge of Sampdoria. Rudi Garcia's Giallorossi won 3-0 at the Olimpico that day courtesy of a brace from Mattia Destro and a strike from Miralem Pjanic.
Spalletti and Mihajlovic have now crossed swords on four occasions in all competitions, with two wins, a draw and defeat for the Roma man. The other three meetings all came in the 2008-09 season when Mihajlovic was in charge of Bologna. 2014 was also the last time the side from capital lost two straight away games. They came home empty-handed from trips to Catania and Genoa in the final three weeks of the 2013-14 campaign.
