Stat Attack: 10 facts to know ahead of the derby!

On Saturday evening Roma and Lazio go head-to-head in the latest edition of the Derby della Capitale...

Ahead of the game, we've rounded up some of the key facts and figures to know about the contest...

The top flight meetings

Saturday's game will be the 152nd time these two sides have faced each other in the top flight of Italian football. To date it is the Giallorossi who have the edge: 55 wins to Lazio's 38, with 58 draws in total.

The last 12 meetings

Roma have lost two of the last 12 meetings in Serie A, winning seven of those. During that span Roma have scored 21 goals, at an average of 1.8 per game.

Watch out for red cards

Since 1994-95 the Derby della Capitale has seen more red cards than any other game in Serie A: a staggering 33 in total (20 for Lazio, 13 for Roma).

Goals almost guaranteed?

Lazio (30 games) and Roma (26) are the two sides in Serie A who have gone the longest period without playing out a 0-0 draw.

Roma ready from set pieces

Roma have scored more goals from indirect free-kicks than any other side in Europe's top five leagues so far this season: six. Two of those came in the derby meeting earlier this season: Lorenzo Pellegrini's opener (from a deep free-kick) and Federico Fazio's header (from a Pellegrini free-kick).

Edin on the hunt

Edin Dzeko has now scored five goals in his last five league games - as many as he managed in the previous 25. All of those have come away from home, too...

Top 10 Roma derby appearances

Totti 45, De Rossi 30, Masetti 26, Santarini 25, Aldair 22, Bernardini 20, Losi 21, Candela 19, Cordova, Panucci, Delvecchio, Tommasi 17, Giannini 16.

Derby days as a player and a coach

Ten Roma coaches have previously represented the club in the derby as a player too - among them the current boss, Eusebio Di Francesco.

The others are: Bruno Conti, Fabio Capello, Fulvio Bernardini, Giovanni Degni, Guido Masetti, Gunnar Nordahl, Luigi Brunella, Pietro Serantoni and Vincenzo Montella.

Carlo Mazzone and Claudio Ranieri both played for and coached Roma, but neither actually ever played in the derby.

Di Francesco versus Inzaghi

Saturday's two rival coaches have met five times previously. Right now the balance is equal: two wins for each man, and one draw.

The stadium history of the derby

The Derby della Capitale has been hosted at five different stadiums down the years, since its first edition in 1929. On that occasion the game took place at the Stadio della Rondinella (Roma won 1-0, Rodolfo Volk scoring the only goal).

Since then games have taken place at Campo Testaccio (12 matches, eight wins for Roma), Stadio Nazionale (43 games, 13 wins for Roma), Stadio Flaminio (2 games, one win for Roma) and the Stadio Olimpico - which, with 123 games, has hosted more derbies than any other spot.

Of those 123 games, Roma have won 46 and drawn 47.
