Chievo are one of six Serie A teams yet to score directly from a free kick this season. Roma sit at the opposite end of the free-kick spectrum with five goals.
Chievo are the team Daniele De Rossi has scored against most often in Serie A – four times in 19 appearances. Three of those have come at the Stadio Bentegodi.
Roma have won five of their last six home league matches against Chievo. The Verona-based outfit's only recent success came in May 2013.
Mohamed Salah has hit the net eight times since Luciano Spalletti took over in the Roma dugout. Stephan El Shaarawy, with seven, is the second-highest Giallorossi scorer under the Tuscan coach.
Twelve of Chievo's Serie A goals this season have come from distance. Rolando Maran's side are third in the rankings for long-range strikes behind Luciano Spalletti's Roma, on 18, and Maurizio Sarri's Napoli, on 15.
The Giallorossi are unbeaten in 15 league games, winning 12 of them. The last time they put together a similar run without defeat – 16 matches, though only six were wins – was in March 2015.
Roma have notched 21 goals in 13 meetings with Chievo at the Stadio Olimpico since 2001-02, the year the Gialloblu first gained promotion to the top flight. The visitors have managed just four goals in the capital in that time.
There have been 27 Serie A encounters between these two sides before today. Roma have won 13, Chievo three – two at the Olimpico, in 2002-03 and 2012-13 – and there have been 11 draws.
Luciano Spalletti's side have picked up 39 points on their current unbeaten streak. Roma hadn't earned that many points from 15 games in a single season since the end of 2009-10, when they also managed 12 wins and three draws.
Edin Dzeko, Mohamed Salah, Stephan El Shaarawy and Radja Nainggolan have attempted 39 shots between them in the second half of the season.
The Giallorossi have scored 3999 total goals in Serie A. One more against Chievo will take them through the 4000 barrier.
