    Ahead of Monday's game at the Stadio Olimpico, we've rounded up some of the key stats you need to know involving Roma and Bologna...

    The game in the Italian capital gets underway at 20:30 local time.

    Even-stevens so far...

    Roma and Bologna have faced each other a total of 142 times in the top flight in Italy - and each side has won 49 of those meetings. The other 44 have been drawn.

    Di Francesco ready for 10th game against Bologna

    Roma coach Eusebio Di Francesco has faced Bologna nine times in his career in the dugout, with Lecce, Sassuolo and Roma. So far he was won four of those games, drawing three and losing two.

    Roma against Mihajlovic

    Serbian coach Sinisa Mihajlovic has faced Roma more than any other Italian side - losing nine times, drawing four and winning on three ocasions.

    Kolarov record

    With six Serie A goals already this season, Aleksandar Kolarov is enjoying his best goalscoring campaign of his career to date. Prior to this season, his best tally in the league was three goals - which he managed both with Lazio and with Manchester City.

    Totti out ahead against Bologna

    Roma's legendary captain scored seven times against Bologna during his career - putting him out in front in yet another statistical category. Behind him with six: Volk, Di Bartolomei and Pruzzo.

    Staying tight at the back

    Roma did not concede a goal against Chievo Verona in their last league outing - back-to-back clean sheets are something the Giallorossi are yet to manage in the league this season...

    Dzeko still waiting at home

    Among players to have scored at least five goals in Serie A this season, Edin Dzeko is the only one still waiting to score his first in front of the home supporters.

    Nothing from midfield

    Bologna have scored just two goals from central midfielders this season - both of them from Andrea Poli. No side has scored fewer goals than that so far.

    Mihajlovic revival

    In his first two games in charge at Bologna, Sinisa Mihajlovic has picked up four points - as many as his predecessor Filippo Inzaghi managed in the nine games before he was fired.

    Zero second half goals

    Curiously, Bologna are the only side in Europe's top five leagues that are still looking to score their first second half goal in 2019.
