Stat Attack: Figures to know before Genoa game

In vista della sfida di domenica sera dell’Olimpico ecco dieci curiosità statistiche da tenere a mente…

Roma historically on top

These two sides have faced each other 102 times in Serie A: Roma have won almost half of those (48), losing just 32. The other 22 games have ended (unsurprisingly) in draws.

The last eight...

Roma are unbeaten in their last eight games against Genoa in the league - and have only drawn one of those, to boot.

Records are made of this

The Giallorossi have actually won all of their last 12 home games against Genoa: an all-time club record against one side in Serie A.

Lucky 13

Roma have seen 13 different players find the back of the net already this season in Serie A - unsurprisingly, no other team can match such a record.

Fast starters

Both Roma and Genoa have scored 12 goals in the first halves of games so far this season: only Juventus (14) have managed more.

Coming out of the woodwork

One statistical category the Giallorossi are out ahead in: no side other than Empoli can equal their record of hitting the post or bar 10 times already this season.

Set-piece guide?

Roma have scored more goals from set-piece situations than any other side in Serie A this season - nine. Genoa, meanwhile, have conceded more goals from the same scenarios (10) than any other squad...

Hustle 'n' Flo

Alessandro Florenzi has scored three goals against Genoa in Serie A during his career - his preferred victims across the country.

Perotti's shining moment

Diego Perotti was the author of perhaps the most famous goal in this fixture in recent years: the 90th minute winner in a 3-2 win at the Stadio Olimpico in May 2017. That goal, while securing Champions League participation for the following season (where Roma would reach the semi-finals), also ensured that the retiring Francesco Totti received a fitting farewell.

First time foes in the dugout

Eusebio Di Francesco and Cesare Prandelli have never faced each other before as managers: so Sunday will be the first time the two have met in a match situation. Against Genoa, meanwhile, Di Francesco has a mixed record - from 11 games the coach has managed five wins, three draws and three defeats.

Last season Di Francesco saw Roma win this fixture at the Olimpico, 2-1.
