Ahead of Sunday's game against Inter Milan, here are some of the key facts and figures to be aware of...
Capital returns
Sunday's game will be the 88th between these two sides in the top flight: to date Roma have won 36 of those games, lost 28 - and (obviously) drawn the remaining 23.
A true classic of Italian football
Along with games between Juventus and Inter (170 meetings), this is the most-played match in Serie A football since 1929/30.
Level playing field
The last nine games between these sides has been perfectly even: Roma have won three, lost three and drawn three.
Attack vs. defence
Roma have scored more goals at home than any other team so far this season in Serie A (16). Inter, however, have only conceded six away goals - only Juventus (four) have a better record.
Second half fireworks?
Seven of the last 10 Roma goals in Serie A have come after the break - while Inter have conceded eight of their last 10 in the second 45 minutes of games...
El Sha heads towards 50…
Stephan El Shaarawy will be missing this weekend, but he is now just one goal away from reaching 50 in Serie A during his career. Roma's top league goalscorer this season, El Shaarawy scored the opener last time these sides met - at the San Siro in January (the game eventually finished 1-1).
Deadly from dead balls
This season no Serie A side has managed more goals from set-piece situations than Roma and Inter - both sides have managed seven so far.
Woodwork, always the woodwork
Roma have already hit the frame of the goal on nine separate occasions this season - a record only Empoli and Juventus can match.
Florenzi's Inter record
Alessandro Florenzi scored his first ever Serie A goal against Inter, back in September 2012. That one came at the San Siro and so did his other strike against the Nerazzurri, just over a year later (October 2013).
Schick's positive memories
Patrik Schick scored in his very first game against Inter - back in April 2017 when he was representing Sampdoria.
